Bird Feeder

Bird Feeder

Design Intention

Longevity and resistance to corrosion was the primary focus of this design. Materials have been chosen, treated, and separated from each other in a manner that will inhibit galvanic corrosion. Stainless steel, copper, zinc-coated steel, and PETG plastic are all utilised.

The aesthetic design of this bird feeder is intended to elevate its value beyond something purely functional and present as a sculptural centrepiece.

Most bird feeder designs require some degree of dismantling or at least removal from their point of installation in order to refill the seed. This design offers a quick and easy solution to refilling that can be performed in situ.

The lid to the reservoir slides up the central thread.
