Abstract
An animal feeder includes a housing including a bottom wall and a peripheral wall. A cover is removably positionable over an opening defined by an upper edge of the peripheral wall for selectively opening or closing the housing. Each of a pair of mounts is positioned on the peripheral wall. A funnel is positioned in the housing and includes a spout extending outwardly through the bottom wall. A plate has an upper side that has a central area having a raised portion thereon. Each of a plurality of rods has a first end attached to the bottom wall and a second end attached to the plate such that the spout is vertically aligned with the raised portion. A limb mounting assembly includes a pair of male couplers for attaching to the mounts and a tether for selectively hanging the housing.
