Abstract
An animal feeder for use in dispensing a feeding solution to hummingbirds or other animals. This may be accomplished by providing an animal feeder having a reservoir containing a feeding solution. The reservoir is connected to a dispenser that dispenses the feeding solution through an opening. The reservoir rotates in response to changes in the weight distribution of the feeder relative to the pivot as the reservoir is emptied of the feeding solution. The rotation of the reservoir maintains the opening in the dispensing member above the level of the feed solution in the reservoir. The reservoir has venting holes to maintain equalize pressure within the reservoir with the outside environment.
