A wild bird feeder with separate compartments and adjustable dispensing means for seeds of various sizes so that a greater variety of the preferred smaller birds can feed. Novel means are also provided for protecting the seed from rain and from destructive animals and for providing adjustable perches to attract the preferred smaller birds and to permit either hanging or post mounting of the feeder.

A bird feeder having a generally planar seed tray and means for mounting such in a generally horizontal position. The bird feeder further includes a cover, generally of dome-shaped configuration and having a lower peripheral edge frictionally supported on an upstanding peripheral seed tray rim. The cover is capable of rotational movement with respect to the tray such that a bird access opening in the cover may be adjustably positioned downwind of the feeder in its use position.

A new and improved tip-resistant outdoor pet feeding or watering dish for providing an outdoor pet food or water dish that is secured upright whereby preventing loss of food or water due to the pet tipping over the dish. The post has a central aperture with a radially extending recess. The tip-resistant outdoor pet feeding or watering dish comprises an open bowl having a closed planar bottom. The planar bottom has a hollow, post projecting upwardly therefrom to slightly above the edge of the top of the bowl whereby liquid placed inside the bowl can not flow into the hollow post. The tip-resistant outdoor pet dish also includes a spike having a pointed lower end. The spike extends downwardly through the hollow post and is inserted into the ground under the dish whereby the dish may not be tipped by a pet animal. The spike has a radially extending projection adjacent to the upper end adapted to be received in the complimentary axial recess in the post of the dish.

A bird feeder construction of the type having a dish for receiving feed material and a hood member associated thereabove so as to protect said dish, not only from the elements, but also from access by undesirable bird species and other pests, such as squirrels and the like. Accordingly, the hood is not only adjustable in varying spaced positions above the dish but is further movable to a position wherein the terminal portions of the hood and dish are either on a level with each other or the hood extends therebelow so as to provide additional security to the feeding system. Additionally, even though the hood is so positioned with respect to the dish, it may at any time be freely upwardly withdrawn therefrom so as to provide complete access to the dish for refilling.

The present invention is an apparatus that prevents crawling insects such as ants from infesting a pet food dish. The invention accomplishes this task without the use of any chemical pesticides, bait or electronics. The apparatus prevents the ants from detecting the smell of pet food by preventing the smell from reaching a critical portion of the path from the food source, to the ground. The apparatus may also be configured to attach to the bottom of table legs such as those used at a picnic or other outdoor gathering.
