A bird feeder has a tubular body member having an open bottom end. A base member interfittingly engages the bottom end of the tubular body member The base member is releasably secured to the tubular body member by the engagement of a spring-biased pin that communicates with an aperture through the wall of the tubular body member. Preferably, there are two spring-biased locking pins on opposing sides of the feeder with corresponding lock eye apertures. User manipulatable buttons, which are mechanically linked to the locking pins, are depressed to cause the locking pins to retract to permit releasable attachment of the tubular body member of the feeder thereon enabling easy access to the interior of the feeder.

Removable base for a bird feeder

A protective guard for a bird feeder is provided. The protective guard includes a substantially dome-shaped main body with a concave inner side, a convex outer side and an apex region. The main body includes a wire hanger receiving slot through the apex region of the main body. A circular wall downwardly depends from the concave inner side of the main body. The circular wall is located to surround the wire hanger receiving slot and is dimensioned to have a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of a top cap of a bird feeder. The guard may be readily placed over and installed on a bird feeder by inserting a wire hanger of the bird feeder through the wire hanger receiving slot with the concave inner side of the main body resting on the upper surface of the top cap of the bird feeder thereby retrofitting the protective guard thereto. In addition, the guard may be connected to the bottom of a post mounted bird feeder to provide a squirrel baffle.

Guard for bird feeders

An improved bird feeder includes a tubular main body having a top open end and a bottom open end. The tubular main body is made of wire mesh material. A bottom cap is attached to the bottom open end to enclose it. A tubular adapter sleeve is positioned in the top open end to protect and isolate the commonly sharp and dangerous top edge of the main body from the user. A top cap is removably positioned over the adapter sleeve to enclose the feeder to protect the feeder located therein. The adapter sleeve not only shields the user from a sharp and dangerous top edge of the mesh main body but also maintains the mesh main body in its original shape by avoiding flexing and bending of the mesh material of the main body.

Bird feeder

A tubular feeder having a cylindrical body and a lower wall for holding feed is provided. A perch extender with a diametrical slot mates with the bottom of the feeder where the perch extender is keyed to the bottom of the feeder. The perch extender can be stored over the bail of feeder. The tubular feeder provides a perch below a lowermost feeding opening.

A bird feeder having a feeder unit for retaining seed and the like is provided with a perch of polygonal cross section that is tightly retained in the wall of the feeder unit. A soft pliable surface is provided on the perch that is apparently more appealing to the birds.

Feeder for birds, especially hummingbirds, that has a stem rising from the center of a bowl and that has a cover for the bowl through which the stem passes, which cover is selectively locked to the stem for loosening on occasion to permit filling of the bowl.

A window thermometer of the bimetallic type has a circular casing with a dial plate received in the casing for rotation relative thereto. The bimetallic element has one end coupled to the casing and the other end to a dial pointer. Suction cups with stems are secured to the dial plate by fasteners that pass through the casing and plate, the fasteners holding the parts together and yet permitting temperature calibration by permitting the plate to rotate relative to the casing when the fasteners are loosened.

Suet feeder

A bird feeding device is disclosed and more particularly a bird feeding device in which two varieties of granulated bird feed may be dispensed in a single device. The bird feeder includes a pair of transparent side wall sections having feeding ports therein that are joined to a central partition member, the ends of the device being closed by a bottom wall, and a moveable top cover. Perches are provided adjacent to the feeding ports, the perches serving additionally as means to secure the side walls to the central partition.
