The Bird Feeding Tree

My feeder is a fake tree made of recycled wood.
Features are bird feeders with a wide variety of food in, water, squirrel feeders and barrier to stop them stealing bird food. Squirrel barrier also catches food for ground birds.
Leaves catch rainwater that is filtered by the fabric and goes through branches that are pipes for storage in trunk and is used in the bird bath when water is under a certain level.
There is a mealworm holder that goes into the holes in the trunk. Like all the feeders it can be pulled out to be cleaned and refilled. It tells you when to refill the feeders when it reaches a certain weight by sending you a notification on your phone. The bird bath has a shelter to stop food and dirt getting in. There are more leaves and branches to provide shelter and cover. There is ivy covering the nest hole.

This is incredible Toby! The amount of thought and detail that has gone into this invention is very impressive. The drawing is clear and I can see this being used as a real Bird feeding tree. I love all the features, especially the fabric leaves. Not only have you thought of how the water will be absorbed but also that it can be filtered clean and passed down through the branches just like a real tree! This design will wonderfully fit in its the park. I wonder what you will invent next...keep going!
