Song Bird Feeder

A Simple, Durable Feeder 19 1/2″ tall.

The Song Bird Feeder is made of four 18″ 1x4s, a beveled cover cut from one 6″ long 1×6, a 2″ x 3 1/2″ x 3/4″ block floor, six 3/8″ dowels and 3 internal hoods cut from recycled narrow plastic bottles.

This feeder accommodates most any type of feed: sunflowers, thistle, corn, peanuts, millet or mixed seeds.

Six birds can feed at one time in six squirrel proof 1″ diameter x 3/4″ deep holes each above a single perch.

A song bird feeder suspended from a post in a yard with trees in the background.

Squirrels try but can’t retrieve seeds through the deep and narrow holes and eventually give up.

Minimizes food waste by maintaining the surface of the seeds inside and below the holes.

1″ diameter feeding holes keeps larger bullying birds to a minimum.

Easy filling. Slide the roof up, pour the bird seed in the top and roof falls back into place.

Durable 3/4″ thick softwood and screw construction.

Three house finches feeding at the song bird feeder.

Securely suspend the feeder so the bottom is about 4′ above the ground where it can be easily reached for safe refilling and in an open area where predators cannot sneak up on feeding birds.

Do not hang from balconies and other dangerous heights. This feeder is heavy. All hanging items eventually fall.
