Abstract

A wildlife feeder is provided comprising a housing for holding wildlife feed and a separable mounting subassembly for releasable attachment of the housing to a support structure. The housing comprises a base from which extend upstanding walls. The base has a peripheral skirt and an underside with anchor structures for placement of the free ends of a wire form wildlife perch structure. The wire form extends a predetermined distance out from the base outer periphery and is constrained from downward tilt with retention notches in the peripheral skirt. The mounting subassembly comprises a bracket having engagement elements for insertion into slots in the back wall of the housing. The engagement elements include releasable retention tabs so that the housing can easily be removed from the bracket for food resupplying, cleaning and repair. The bracket includes a hinged roof structure. When the housing is attached to the bracket, the roof rotatably encloses the housing open top. The roof and bracket have coordinated abutment structures to prevent the roof from exceeding a maximum angular rotation.
