    Love that idea, but I'm working with ducks, so I don't think this method would work for their scooping of food. Yeah no issues with other birds competing for the food, and I like the idea of the lid for a rain guard! Since I'll have a 5 gal bucket at the end, maybe I'll use a garbage can lid...
