ABSTRACT:
A hanging wire cage bird feeder is provided with a plastic foam base supporting a gel structure saturated with bird seed that completely fills the wire cage. A pair of perch supports are provided at the base of the wire cage structure to support birds attempting to feed from the feeder. The process for making the feeder includes providing a wire cage with a plastic foam bottom surface, positioning the wire cage onto an absorbent surface, covering the exterior of the wire cage with a fluid proof sleeve and filling the wire cage with a hot slurry of a water/gel mixture saturated with bird seed. The filled wire cage is them placed in a freezer compartment of a refrigerator to solidify the gel. After solidification, the wire cage is removed from the freezer, the sleeve removed, and excess gel trimmed from the base of the wire cage. After conditioning for twenty-fours at room temperature, the wire cage feeder is ready for hanging outdoors.
