<p>A bird food dispensing system comprises: a generally closed-walled container (2) provided with a single feeding port (5) or a plurality of discrete spaced feeding ports (5), and an outer cage-like housing (4). The container (2) holds bird seed and dispenses seeds only at the feeding port(s) (5). The cage-like housing (4) surrounds the container (2) and defines an enclosed space intermediate the container (2) and housing (4). The housing (4) is defined by elongate elements (9) together defining one or more bands of contiguous apertures (10) sized to provide generally free entry to and exit from this enclosed space. This provides many different entry and exit points for comparatively small birds, while preventing entry into the enclosed space at least of adult squirrels. The enclosed space is dimensioned to allow these comparatively small birds to readily move about therewithin.</p> |
