Abstract
A birdfeeder has a base (20) comprising a frame (30), a floor (40), and a railing (50). The frame (30) can be inexpensively constructed from wooden boards having standard widths and depths. The floor (40) is selectively removable from the rest of the base (20) and can be economically made from a perforation-provided sheet with unturned edges. The railing (50) is situated below the floor (40) but not below the frame (30) so as to accommodate ledge-seating, limb-hanging, or pole-mounting of the birdfeeder.
