A wild bird game feeder, having a cylindrical shell with a closed flat bottom and a lid which is removable or which has a bung, through which game bird feed may be introduced. Within the interior of the cylindrical shell is a partition and partition top which defines and encloses a smaller subspace within the interior space of the cylindrical shell. An opening in the partition allows feed to flow into the smaller space. An access opening is defined in the sidewall of the cylindrical shell, giving external access to the smaller space within the partition and partition top. A curvilinear hood is positioned medially above the access opening. A perch or ledge is provided along the bottom edge of the access opening for the benefit of smaller game birds.
