A multiple bird feeder comprising three elongated hollow cylindrical bodies of a clear transparent plastic material. The cylinders are grouped in contiguous relation and held in position at the top and bottom. An annular dished member is provided with three integral socket portions, the bottom ends of the cylinders setting into the socket portions. At the top, a scalloped top is provided which covers each of the cylinders. An assembly rod is provided with an integral hook at the top and extends through a central opening in the top through the space formed by the grouping of the cylinders. The rod is pushed down until the hook engages the top. The bottom of the rod extends through the bottom into a recessed central portion where it is engaged by a threaded nut, tightening the nut ties the assembly together. A squirrel shield may extend over the top and have a short central rod which is provided with integral hook portions at the top and bottom. The hook at the top of the rod is suspended from the hook at the bottom of the squirrel shield, and the hook at the top of the squirrel shield serves to suspend the entire unit. Two of the cylinders are adapted to dispense bird seed and the last one is adapted to dispense thistle. Each cylinder is provided with three perches formed by wooden rods extending through each cylinder and projecting outwardly from an opposite side. The perches are staggered around the cylinders out of vertical alignment with each other. The thistle dispenser is provided with a small opening above each perch. The bird seed dispenser is provided with a large opening having a baffle member to prevent the seed from spilling out.
