A feeder assembly is used in a feed distribution system having a feed
supply conduit. The feeder assembly includes a pan member, which is
preferably elongated in configuration, in a shape of two intersecting
circles. The feeder assembly also includes at least one fill port for
receiving feed from the feed supply conduit and for providing feed onto a
base portion of the pan member. The at least one fill port is defined
through an outer grill member which is operatively associated with the
pan member. Like the pan member, the outer grill member has a rim member
which is preferably elongated in configuration, in a shape of two
intersecting circles. The outer grill member defines a plurality of
apertures therethrough through which birds can eat the feed presented on
the base portion of the pan member.
