Platform bird feeder with an adjustable wobbling baffle

A platform bird feeder comprising:

• a pole having a base platform connected to a lower end thereof;
• a tiltable baffle having an aperture through the pole extends;
• and
• an adjustable securing mechanism enabling the user to movably mount the baffle on the pole at any desired height above the base platform, said adjustable securing mechanism including a vertically movable height adjustment component and a resilient member mounted between an underside of the baffle and the height adjustment component, the vertically movable height adjustment component including a tightening member and a locking bolt with a shaft having an axially extending relief cut that divides a lower part of the shaft into two sides, both the tightening member and the shaft having openings to receive the pole, the relief cut enabling the sides of the shaft to be squeezed toward one another to pinch the pole when the tightening member is tightened on the shaft so that the locking bolt is frictionally secured at a specific height on the pole and held there by the tightening member;
• and
• upward vertical movement of said height adjustment component toward the baffle partially compressing the resilient member while allowing the baffle to wobble when mounted at said height, said partial compression of the resilient member allowing one side of the resilient member to be further compressed when weight is applied to one side of the baffle so that the weighted side of the baffle tilts downwardly relative to the pole while an unweighted side of the baffle tilts upwardly relative to the pole.
