[0010] Preferably, the circular transfer groove is located directly below the feeding tray.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the circular adapter groove is located directly below the feeding tray. In this way, when the support tray is controlled to drive the bird feeder body and the food storage container to rotate, the distance between the food storage container and the tree trunk can be increased to a greater extent, so that the food replenishment process is not easily affected.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting groove connected to the circular adapter groove is provided at the upper end of the support tray, and the width of the limiting groove is greater than the width of the circular adapter groove. The upper end of the circular adapter column extends into the inner side of the limiting groove, and an assembly ring groove is provided at the outer wall of the circular adapter column. A retaining spring is clamped in the assembly ring groove, and the lower end of the retaining spring is tightly pressed against the bottom of the limiting groove.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, a clamping ring is installed to limit the support tray and the support base, so that the support tray and the support base are not easily disengaged.

[0014] Preferably, a decorative stop cover is provided at the upper end of the limiting groove, and the upper end of the decorative stop cover is flush with the inner wall of the limiting groove.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the decorative cover can block the notch of the limiting groove, so that debris is not easy to enter the limiting groove and affect the rotation of the support tray.

[0016] Preferably, a disassembly notch is provided at the upper edge of the decorative cover.

[0017] With the above technical solution, a disassembly notch is provided at the upper edge of the decorative cover for inserting a disassembly tool, thereby making the removal of the decorative cover more convenient.

[0018] Preferably, a fixing plate extending vertically upward is provided on the rear side of the support base, and the front side of the fixing plate is in close contact with the outer wall of the food storage container.

[0019] With this technical solution, the support base is fixed to the tree trunk via the fixing plate during use, making installation of the bird feeder much easier. The front side of the fixing plate abuts against the outer wall of the food storage container, providing support for the food storage container and thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the food storage container and the bird feeder body.

[0020] Preferably, a hemispherical positioning groove is provided at the lower end of the support tray, and the hemispherical positioning groove and the circular adapter groove are staggered. Two placement grooves are provided at the upper end of the support base, and the two placement grooves are symmetrically distributed with the circular adapter column as the center, and the spacing between the placement groove and the circular adapter column is equal to the spacing between the hemispherical positioning groove and the circular adapter groove. A spring and a limiting ball are sequentially provided in each of the placement grooves. When the hemispherical positioning groove is rotated to the top of the placement groove, the spring drives the limiting ball to press against the inner wall of the hemispherical positioning groove through elastic force.

[0021] With the above technical solution, when the food storage container is located at the rear side of the bird feeder body, the hemispherical positioning groove rotates above one of the placement grooves, and the spring, through its elastic force, drives the limiting ball against the inner wall of the hemispherical positioning groove, thereby limiting the relative position of the support tray and the support base. When the food storage container is located at the front side of the bird feeder body, the hemispherical positioning groove rotates above the other placement groove, and the spring, through its elastic force, drives the limiting ball against the inner wall of the hemispherical positioning groove, thereby limiting the relative position of the support tray and the support base.
