  • Patent number: 5323735
    Abstract: A bird-feeder, which precludes gray squirrel access to seeds therein, mounts on a rectangular platform gnaw-resistant, hollow, 3/8" aluminum bars across the front and partially back along the sides and whose surfaces are spaced from adjacent bars 11/4". The upper ends of the bars are received in an open frame closed off by a plexiglass roof. A generally interior hopper extends across the back of the feeder to constitute its rear wall and to gravity feed seed onto the platform surface constituting the floor of the feeder. The hopper is pivoted to the platform for swinging movement outward to a loading position. Solid panels on the rear portions of the two sides present resistance also to wind action and seed scattering.
