Abstract
The present invention is a mobile bird feeder which is resistant to invasion and destruction by squirrels. The feeder relies upon a combination of slippery side panels made of polished methylmethacrylate (Lucite™) and a simple geometric configuration to prevent scaling by squirrels or similar small rodents. The transparent Lucite™ guard element provides protection from the weather elements, allows viewing of birds while approaching and feeding, presents an aesthetic appearance while presenting a movable target for the approaching birds.
