Built a new pigeon feeder

After many months of cleaning up after my birds. I built them a proper feeder!

Here is how I mounted the cups, I used a tall back board because they splash the wall with water and make a mess. I also put the food in the center so they can flick the food all they want and it wont go on the floor anymore.

Drawer in action notice the rubber seal! This seal is used on the bottom of garage doors. A good buy at homedepot only $18


Here is the bump stop on the other side of the feeder. It prevents the rubber seal from getting pushed out as well as going to far with the drawer.

Wow, that's fantastic!!! Plenty of food for thought, if you'll pardon the pun! Lots of good ideas rolled up into one!

Thank you for posting these very clear photos, and explaining every point.
If you don't mind, I'm going to put a link to this thread in the topic 'Helpful Hints and Tips', because I'm sure it will provide lots more pigeon lovers with some great guidelines and ideas.

Glad you like it. Its a great thing to walk into the bird room and not have to get out the broom everytime I come in there. Since installing this feeder there has been NO seeds or peas on the floor! It's also a great thing because I didn't like them eatting the food off of the floor either.

Wow, I love it!! I definitely need one of these feeders! I'm always cleaning up seed from the floor.
