A poultry feeder system and method provides a mobile or movable feeder system which incorporates the functions and features necessary to provide poultry (for example) with essential and/or non-essential food and provisions for living and thriving. The poultry feeder system and method includes a body or (the cart) in which compartments are installed to divide various feeds or to provide storage of feed so the user can store and replenish the feed bins as needed. The feeder system may include wheels and handles, making the feeder system easy to move across terrain so that the user can move the feeder system to various locations in a field or property. The system includes an optional removable scratch spreader system that can be used to throw feed of various types.

The grow fence garden planter and bird and small animal feeder system for planting vegetation or bird and small animal feeder in limited space by stacking in standard vertical posts and horizontal rail is disclosed. The vertical posts provide structural support to the fence and horizontal rail provide base for growing vegetation. The vertical post can be provided with metallic support for fixing on hard floor. The vegetation can be planted directly in vegetation holes in horizontal rail or can be planted in the vegetation pots. If horizontal rails of grow fence are not being used either as bird and small animal feeder or growing vegetation, the faces of the horizontal rails with holes turned in downwards direction. A feeding platform and bird bath can be also installed in the same way as vegetation pots. A lighting arrangement is provided to illuminate the system in night.

Implementations described and claimed herein provide a bird feeder finial assembly. In one implementation, a bird feeder includes a finial having a finial body. The finial has a longitudinal axis. A swivel surface is disposed on the finial body, and a neck extends distally from the finial body along the longitudinal axis. The swivel has a swivel body with a proximal surface and a distal surface. A swivel opening is defined in the swivel body. The neck extends through the swivel opening, and the swivel body is translatable along the neck. A hanger is connected to the swivel body. The swivel body translates along the neck towards the first swivel surface into a swivel position when a suspending force is applied to the hanger, and the finial freely is rotatable about the longitudinal axis independent of the hanger when the swivel body is in the swivel position.
