A birdfeeder conveniently separable for loading with bird feed is disclosed. The feeder is separable into two portions, with the mechanism for separating and holding the birdfeeder together being constructed completely integral with the two portions. In an upper portion, a lock rod connected to a protective top extends through a tube extending through a feed reservoir from a base of the birdfeeder, the base and reservoir being part of the lower portion. On a portion of the lock rod that extends into the base is provided a groove that is engaged by a spring-loaded pin, the pin in turn extending horizontally from the base and configured as a bird perch so that when the perch is pulled outward, the upper portion may be separated from the lower portion, providing access to fill the reservoir. Additionally, capacity of the birdfeeder is such that it will contain a relatively large quantity of bird feed, making the feed available on a more consistent basis, and increasing intervals between which the birdfeeder must be refilled.
