Abstract:
A thistle seed small bird feeder for small birds comprising:(a) a container comprising said small bird feeder, having a given length and width, for storing thistle seeds, said container having at least one broad roomy substantially planar perching surface enabling simultaneous viewing of a substantial number of small feeding birds and a depth smaller than the length and width of said small bird feeder for offering large amounts of accessible birdseed, said substantially planar perching surface having (b) a first set of numerous small perching openings, formed throughout substantial portions of said substantially planar perching surface, configured to support the claws of small birds while perching during feeding; and (c) a second of feeding apertures formed within said perching surface, each feeding aperture of said second set being considerably larger than said openings of said first set, to make it very easy for said small birds to feed to thus maintain their presence, and yet small enough to prevent substantial waste of birdseed during feeding.
