A bird feeder comprises a sheet of stiff paper or paper board, folded to form a plurality of inclined walls. The walls incline inwardly toward the top, and are of less breadth at the top than at the bottom. The bird feeder is a house, having a floor and a roof, forming an enclosure in which bird feed is contained. A thin, rigid bird platform surrounds the walls at a level above the bottoms of the walls, and is formed of a shaped piece having an opening permitting the platform to be assembled by movement downwardly over the top of the house, into friction contact with the front, back and sidewalls, and held in place by frictional force at a location above the bottoms of the walls. In a preferred form, the bird feeder has one or more longitudinally extending perforations, forming openings for movement of the bird feed from inside the house, for access to the birds on the platform.
A bird feeder comprising a flat floor having a plurality of sides, a corresponding plurality of walls of stiff sheeting material which are inclined inwardly toward the top, said walls forming the walls of a house and being secured at their bases to the respective sides of said floor, said walls at a predetermined distance above said floor having respective integral roof portions foldably inclined inwardly and upwardly and interengageable for forming a roof, to form an enclosure in which bird feed is contained, a piece of thin, rigid material forming a bird platform surrounding said walls at a level above the bottom of said walls, and means for providing feed to the outside of the enclosure.
