ABSTRACT:
A container of the tubular side wall type has a bottom closure member and a top closure member. The side wall has a break line around a portion of the circumference thereof with an accurate scoreline extending between the opposite ends of the break line. When the container is to be used as a feeder, the break line is broken and a panel portion, defined by and between the score-line and the break line, is pushed inwardly to assume a concave shape. The panel portion is self-biased to the concave shape. A perch is provided such that when it is desired to use the container as a feeder, the perch can be inserted through the side wall so that a portion of the perch extends outwardly from the feeder at a position adjacent a feeding opening formed by pushing the panel portion inwardly. A hanger is provided to cooperate with an upper portion of the container for suspending the container in spaced relation to the ground.
