    Abstract: A tubular bird feeder includes a self-contained seed scoop comprising a depending portion of a top cap, which includes a rim for seating about the exterior of the side wall of the tubular body. A bent wire hanger is inserted into a pair of opposed apertures near the top of the bird feeder and a channel in one side wall of the scoop portion and the cut-away portion of the scoop itself allow clearance of the hook portions of the hanger. A bottom cap closes the bottom of the tubular bird feeder.
