Platform bird feeder with an adjustable wobbling baffle

A bird feeder comprising:

• a support member;
• a baffle having an aperture through which the support member extends, diameter of the aperture being larger than an outer diameter of the support member to create a gap that allows the baffle to tilt and wobble relative to the support member;
• and
• a securing mechanism for mounting the baffle at a point on the support member, said securing mechanism including a fastening component and a resilient member mounted between a lower side of the baffle and the fastening component, the fastening component including a gripping member and a locking member, both the gripping member and the locking member having openings to receive the support member, the gripping member including a shaft having a relief cut that divides a lower part of the shaft into a plurality of parts, the relief cut enabling the plurality of shaft parts to be squeezed toward one another to pinch the support member when the locking member is tightened to secure the gripping member on the support member with frictional engagement;
• and
• the resilient member being partially compressed between the fastening component and an underside of the baffle when the baffle is mounted on the support member, the partial compression of the resilient member and the gap allowing the baffle to wobble relative to the support member and one side of the resilient member to be further compressed when weight is applied to the baffle off center so that the weighted side of the baffle tilts in a first direction away from the weight while an unweighted side of the baffle tilts in a second direction different from said first direction.
