Abstract: A birdfeeder having a body extending along a vertical axis, the body having an axially extending shell having upper and lower wall portions, the upper wall portion having a convexly curved exterior surface extending around the axis and toward the lower portion, an axially extending inner wall inside the shell, the upper wall portion of the shell and the inner wall defining an axially extending reservoir therebetween, the lower wall portion of the shell and the inner wall defining an axially extending chute therebetween, a transversely extending feed tray inside the shell, a portion of the tray extending under a lower edge of the inner wall, the chute communicating between the reservoir and the tray portion, and spacers disposed between the tray portion and the lower edge of the inner wall to maintain a space sufficient to allow seed to pass from the chute into the tray; and an access opening in the lower wall portion of the shell, the access opening communicating between the exterior of the shell and the tray

Abstract: A birdfeeder comprising a body extending along a vertical axis, the body having an outer shell, a wall inside the shell, the shell and the wall defining a reservoir, the shell and the wall further defining a restricted chute, and a feed tray inside the shell, the chute communicating between the reservoir and the tray to provide gravity feed of seed, and a fly-in access opening in the shell, the access opening communicating between the exterior of the shell and the tray and being large enough to allow birds to fly into the shell, the extent of the shell between the opening and the upper end of the body being large enough to prevent squirrels resting on the end from reaching into the opening.
