Abstract
A bird feeding assembly includes a plurality of feeders. Each of the feeders includes a housing that has a bottom wall and a perimeter wall that is attached to and extends upwardly from the bottom wall. The perimeter wall has a fill opening extending therethrough. A chute has an open first end and an open second end. The first end is attached to the perimeter wall and is in fluid communication with the fill opening. The second end of the chute is positioned above the perimeter wall. Bird feed is positionable in the chute to fill the housing with the bird feed. A mounting bracket is attached to the chute. A strap is removably coupled to the mounting brackets of each of the bird feeders and extendable around a vertical support. A coupler on the strap couples the strap in a closed loop.

A bird feeding assembly being extendable around and couplable to a vertical support, said assembly including:
- a plurality of feeders, each of said feeders including;
- a housing having a bottom wall and a perimeter wall being attached to and extending upwardly from said bottom wall, said perimeter wall having a fill opening extending therethrough;
- a chute having an open first end and an open second end, said first end being attached to said perimeter wall and being in fluid communication with said fill opening, said second end of said chute being positioned above said perimeter wall to funnel material poured into said second end outwardly of said first end and onto said bottom wall, wherein bird feed is positionable in said chute to fill the housing with the bird feed;
- a mounting bracket being attached to said chute, said mounting bracket including a sleeve having an aperture extending therethrough orientated parallel to a plane of said second end, said mounting bracket being positioned nearer to said second end than said first end;
- and
- a strap being removably coupled to said mounting brackets of each of said bird feeders and extendable around the vertical support, a coupler on said strap coupling said strap in a closed loop.
A bird feeding assembly being extendable around and couplable to a vertical support, said assembly including:
- a feeder including;
- a housing having a bottom wall and a perimeter wall being attached to and extending upwardly from said bottom wall, said perimeter wall having a fill opening extending therethrough;
- a chute having an open first end and an open second end, said first end being attached to said perimeter wall and being in fluid communication with said fill opening, said second end of said chute being positioned above said perimeter wall to funnel material poured into said second end outwardly of said first end and onto said bottom wall, wherein bird feed is positionable in said chute to fill the housing with the bird feed;
- a mounting bracket being attached to said chute, said mounting bracket including a sleeve having an aperture extending therethrough orientated parallel to a plane of said second end, said mounting bracket being positioned nearer to said second end than said first end;
- and
- a strap being removably coupled to said mounting bracket and extendable around the vertical support, a coupler on said strap coupling said strap in a closed loop.
A bird feeding assembly being extendable around and couplable to a vertical support, said assembly including:
- a plurality of feeders, each of said feeders including;
- a housing having a bottom wall and a perimeter wall being attached to and extending upwardly from said bottom wall, said perimeter wall having a fill opening extending therethrough, said perimeter wall including a rear wall, a front wall, a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall, said bottom wall having a plurality of water drainage holes extending therethrough, said fill opening being positioned in said rear wall;
- a chute having an open first end and an open second end, said first end being attached to said perimeter wall and being in fluid communication with said fill opening, said second end of said chute being positioned above said perimeter wall to funnel material poured into said second end outwardly of said first end and onto said bottom wall, said chute being arcuate from said first end to a central area of said chute, wherein bird feed is positionable in said chute to fill the housing with the bird feed;
- a mounting bracket being attached to said chute, said mounting bracket being positioned on a back side of said chute to position said chute between said mounting bracket and said housing, said mounting bracket comprising a sleeve having an aperture extending therethrough orientated parallel to a plane of said second end, said mounting bracket being positioned nearer to said second end than said first end;
- a cover removably positionable over said second end of said chute to close said second end, said cover being hingedly coupled to said chute;
- at least one bird perch being attached to and extending outwardly away from said perimeter wall;
- and
- a strap being removably coupled to said mounting brackets of each of said bird feeders and extendable around the vertical support, a coupler on said strap coupling said strap in a closed loop.
