Abstract: A bird feeder comprises a generally rigid tube and a flexible bag. The tube has a bottom and a top and a wall therebetween. The bottom and top are open. A ledge is integrally connected to the outside surface of the wall close to or at its bottom. Feeding holes and perch holes are formed through the tube wall. A conventional wire hanger is used to hang the bird feeder. A cap removably slides onto the top of the tube to cover the tube. The bag has a mesh wall. The top of the bag is open and the bottom of the bag is closed. A band is located in the top of the bag. The bag is removably securable to the tube above the ledge on the outside surface of the wall. The band is tensioned to pull the bag tight around the outside surface of the tube.
