ABSTRACT:
A bird feeder having a containing section for sunflower seeds, such seeds having a meat portion and a surrounding husk.
A lower platform with through openings surrounds the containing section, with the openings being sufficiently small to retain full seeds thereon, but large enough to permit husk fragments to drop through the openings. The bird feeder is thus self cleaning, with rain, wind and the movement of the birds causing husks to drop through the platform, while whole seeds can be retained thereon for feeding.
