A bird feeder having a hopper that has an open end and a closed end at opposing sides, and a scoop pivotally coupled near the open end so that the scoop is and selectively movable between a scooping position and a hanging position. In the scooping position, the scoop is lies generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bird feeder. In the hanging position, however, the scoop lies transverse to the longitudinal axis. In another embodiment, the bird feeder comprises a cage having a closed end and an open end at opposing sides, and a hopper the cage. Each of the cage and hopper have an open end facing a substantially single direction. A lid engages and covers the open end of the cage, and is selectively movable from a closed position covering the open end and an open position allowing the dispensation of bird seed into the hopper. Additionally, a hanger comprising a cord passes through apertures in the lid. The cord, lid and cage are configured so that weight of the bird feeder and its contents act to hold the lid on the cage when the bird feeder is hung.
