SEED GUARD AND BIRD FEEDER UNDERCUT
20220279761 · 2022-09-08 · ·

The present disclosure provides a bird feeder having a seed container secured to a seed tray to provide access to seeds. The seed tray is in turn comprised of an undercut and a central rod having a spring mechanism. The spring mechanism allows for a shroud that is connected to the central rod, to move from a first position where access to the seeds is permitted to a second position where access to the seeds is prevented. The seed tray is also comprised of an undercut, either at a periphery of the seed tray or at individual ports of the seed tray, the undercut to prevent seeds from falling out of the seed tray when the bird feeder sways or otherwise moves. A seed guard may also be provided onto the seed tray, the seed guard having a circumferential undercut to prevent seeds from falling out of the seed tray.

ADJUSTABLE SPRING SYSTEM FOR USE IN BIRD FEEDERS
20220279762 · 2022-09-08 · ·

The present disclosure provides an adjustable spring system, which is comprised of a central rod positioned partially within a member. A spring is positioned over the central rod, confined in the area in between the lower cap and the member. The member is attached to and capped by an end cap, and the member is threaded onto the central rod. As such, rotation of the end cap or the member directly correspondingly rotates the member, which moves up or down along the length of the central rod. When the adjustable spring system is installed within a bird feeder, it allows an operator to choose the amount of compression of the spring, which in turn affects the ability of the central rod to move with respect to the seed tray.

Modular Bird Feeder Assembly
20220295756 · 2022-09-22 ·

A modular bird feeder assembly includes a bird feeder that has the ornamental appearance of a log. The bird feeder has a plurality of protrusions each extending outwardly therefrom to simulate the appearance of branches extending away from the log. Additionally, the bird feeder has an axe integrated therein to enhance the ornamental appearance of the log. A chain is coupled to the bird feeder and a dish is removably attachable to the chain such that the bird feeder is suspended from the dish. The dish can be suspended from a support thereby facilitating the bird feeder to be elevated. A pole is provided that is removably attachable to the plate and the pole can be inserted into a support surface. In this way the bird feeder can be supported above the support surface rather than being suspended from the support.
