bird feeder

Backyard avian cafeteria

A bird feeder is a container placed outdoors to supply food for wild birds.

Feeders come in various designs—tube feeders, platform feeders, suet cages—each attracting different species.

The squirrels kept raiding the bird feeder.

Maintaining one becomes a hobby for many, who track which birds visit.
