There is disclosed a multiple compartment birdhouse where the compartments are within three rigid white plastic cylinders with the end walls of the compartments being formed by resiliently deformable white plastic sheet material having an entrance opening cut centrally therein and removably secured about three inches from the edge of said cylinder by having its top and bottom edges captured in notches in the edges of elongated strips of semirigid plastic material running most of the length of the cylinder; the bottom such strip acts as a slightly raised floor in the compartment and is provided with holes to facilitate drainage and ventilation; each tube has two compartments and there is a double partition in the center of each tube formed of the same material and of generally the same shape as the end walls. The tubes are secured in a triangular array in mutual peripheral contact and metal fixtures are secured to the base of the triangle for mounting the array atop a conventional birdhouse pole. Horizontal perches are secured in front of the compartment's openings and along the sides and top of the array of cylinders.
A protective device for limiting access through an opening formed in one wall of a house for small animals or birds, including an elongated open-ended tubular body having first and second ends and a passage therethrough, a securement for securing the first end of the tubular body to the house, and a support structure extending downwardly from the second end of the tubular body. The support structure includes a perch substantially aligned with the tunnel and extending at least about 0.75 inches from the second end of the tubular body, and/or the top of the second end of the tubular body is recessed toward the one end.
A bird feeder comprising an outer enclosure having one or more access ports to the interior of the enclosure and an insert mounted for telescoping movement into the interior of the outer enclosure. The insert is formed with at least one compartment for storing feed with one or more openings into the insert adapted to permit access to the compartment. The insert is dimensioned to define a collection space between the outer enclosure and the insert when the insert is telescoped into the interior of the outer member. The collection space accumulates feed spilled from the compartment by feeding birds to prevent wastage. The insert is movable between a first raised position in which the openings in the insert generally align with the access ports of the outer enclosure to permit feeding by birds, and a second lowered position in which the compartment of the insert is positioned to automatically receive spilled feed from the collection space.
