Abstract: A bird feeder construction kit is described which includes the following components. A base is provided having a central trough-like depression with vertically extending pins adjacent opposed ends of the depression. A pair of supports are provided which are vertically securable to the base. Each support has three projecting pins. Three rectangular plates are also provided. The kit can be shipped flat through the mail. It is assembled by securing the supports vertically to the base and then sliding the plates into position to rest against the pins.
