Abstract

A bird feeder (1) for feeding granular bird feed to poultry, has an enclosed feed storage container (2) held above the ground by legs (3) and at least one feed dispenser (12, 13, 14, 15) with an aperture. The container and the aperture are arranged so that in use feed may flow freely under its own weight from the container to the aperture, and the extent of the aperture may be adjusted such that feed may not flow freely through the aperture under its own weight and such that poultry may feed at the dispenser by pecking feed from the aperture. The aperture is situated such that while poultry may feed from the aperture, vermin may not reach the aperture to get at the feed.
