  • Patent number: 5676089
    Abstract: A squirrel proof bird feeder comprises a frame 102, a feed chute 112 inside and fixed to frame 102, and a rotatable feed chute cover 114 disposed between frame 102 and feed chute 112. The feed chute has two feed trays 116, 117, and the feed chute cover has two perches 124, 125. Two weights 146, 152, bias the feed chute cover to the normal feeding position. When a bird or other animal exceeding a predetermined weight alights on the perch, the feed chute cover rotates, blocking access to the respective feed tray and dislodging the animal, Different feed may be used in each of the feed trays by use of a divider plate 113. The weights may be adjusted to discriminate different weight birds for each feed tray. A second embodiment of the feeder comprises a single feed tray and one weight.
