GAZEBO BIRD FEEDER:
A TV FOR YOUR CAT
I designed my Gazebo Bird Feeder to be in the window bird feeder style to function as an aesthetic piece for the human viewer, a safe destination for birds, and a TV for a cat. The feeder takes into consideration experience and features that benefit both human and bird, as well as factoring in manufacturing capabilities and costs.
The goal for the Gazebo Bird Feeder is to satisfy a love for the whimsy and romantic while also ensuring durability, in both material and ability to replace suction cups when they age. It is a timeless design meant to last.

PRECEDENTS
A classic gazebo shape demonstrating general structure and details.
Gazebo with a romantic and whimsy atmosphere, what gazebos are often associated with.
A house-style bird feeder with laser-cut windows. Demonstrated the possibility of laser-cutting in acrylic as well and a a tray-style feeder.
Another similar style bird feeder. This has a roof, walls with cut-out windows, and a thin perch that I integrated into my final design.
I looked at castle toys nd play houses for form inspiration for my castle ideations
This shape of castle window helped inspire my window shapes in my castle ideations as well as tie into the final form of my gazebo design.
A tower was a precedent for one of my earlier ideations because it has a main chamber for food and the bird but also references the idea of a castle and has a shape common for bird feeders.
This is a size reference. My feeder will take up a similar amount of space on a window.
