Abstract

A hand held bird feeding assembly includes a container that has a bottom wall and a perimeter wall that is attached to and extends upwardly from the bottom wall. An upper portion of the container distal to the bottom wall tapers inward. An opening extends into a top end of the container. An artificial flower is attached to the container adjacent to the opening. A feeding fluid is placed within the container and can be used to feed a hummingbird from the container as the container is being held.

1. A bird feeding assembly to facilitate feeding a humming bird, said assembly comprising:

a container having a bottom wall and a perimeter wall being attached to and extending upwardly from said bottom wall, an upper portion of said container distal to said bottom wall tapering inward, an opening extending into a top end of said container;

an artificial flower being attached to said container adjacent to said opening, said top end being positioned in a central area of said artificial flower such that petals of said artificial flower radiate outwardly from said top end; and

a grip being attached to said container to facilitate holding of said container.

2. The bird feeding assembly to facilitate feeding a humming bird according to claim 1 , wherein said opening has a diameter being between 1/16 of an inch and ¼ of an inch.

3. The bird feeding assembly to facilitate feeding a humming bird according to claim 1 , wherein said container has a height from said bottom wall to said top end between 2.5 inches and 5.0 inches.

4. The bird feeding assembly to facilitate feeding a humming bird according to claim 1 , wherein said container includes a body component and a cap component threadably coupled together, said cap component including said top end, said cap component being removable from said body component and said body component being configured to receive a fluid for feeding a humming bird.

5. The bird feeding assembly to facilitate feeding a humming bird according to claim 1 , wherein said grip includes a pair of finger receivers.

6. The bird feeding assembly to facilitate feeding a humming bird according to claim 5 , wherein at least one of said finger receivers forms a closed loop.

7. The bird feeding assembly to facilitate feeding a humming bird according to claim 6 , wherein each of said finger receivers is aligned with each other and positioned on a same side of said container with respect to each other.

8. A bird feeding assembly to facilitate feeding a humming bird, said assembly comprising:

a container having a bottom wall and a perimeter wall being attached to and extending upwardly from said bottom wall, an upper portion of said container distal to said bottom wall tapering inward, an opening extending into a top end of said container; and

an artificial flower being attached to said container adjacent to said opening, said top end being positioned in a central area of said artificial flower such that petals of said artificial flower radiate outwardly from said top end, said artificial flower having a diameter taken perpendicular to an axis of said opening of between 1.0 inches and 2.0 inches.

9. A bird feeding assembly to facilitate feeding a humming bird, said assembly comprising:

a container having a bottom wall and a perimeter wall being attached to and extending upwardly from said bottom wall, an upper portion of said container distal to said bottom wall tapering inward, an opening extending into a top end of said container, said opening having a diameter being between 1/16 of an inch and ¼ of an inch, said container having a height from said bottom wall to said top end between 2.5 inches and 5.0 inches, said container including a body component and a cap component threadably coupled together, said cap component including said top end, said cap component being removable from said body component and said body component being configured to receive a fluid for feeding a humming bird;
