Abstract
A bird feeding apparatus including a deck mount, a mounting rod, a feeder tray, and a rotating disk for interfering with animal access to the bird feed placed within the tray. Alternative embodiments may include additional structural elements or hooks for hanging a bird feeder from the apparatus. The rotating disk will cause squirrels or other unwanted animals from accessing bird feed within the feeder tray by spinning, causing gravity to drop the animal. Birds will freely be able to access the feed.
