Abstract: The present invention relates to a bird seed feeder designed to address common challenges associated with traditional bird feeding. The bird seed feeder comprises two main components: an upper bowl and a lower bowl, both constructed from transparent material to maximize visibility. The upper bowl features a large entry hole and a circular perch, providing birds with easy access to seeds while maintaining a natural appearance. Hooks protruding from the lower bowl facilitate hanging the feeder from branches or other supports, enhancing pest deterrence and placement versatility. A stepped, overlapping joint mechanism near the bottom of the assembly deters larger birds, squirrels, and pests from disturbing the feeding environment. The feeder's innovative design significantly reduces mess by containing spilled seeds and waste, preventing weed growth, and promoting a cleaner and more controlled feeding area.

Abstract: A quiller for rolling strips of material into decorative and artistic patterns comprises a body having a flat surface and a crank having a crank axis and coupled to the body so that the crank axis is substantially perpendicular to the flat surface of the body and the crank is rotateable about the crank axis. A pin disposed around a pin axis and having a slot is coupled to the crank and to the body so that the pin axis is substantially coaxial to the crank axis. A strip of material is placed into the slot and wound up by rotating the crank.
