A seed port, intended to permit dispensing large and small seeds from the same feeder, can be used with a bird feeder having a columnar reservoir for the containment of bird seed wherein the seed port has a platform with an opening that attaches to the reservoir in alignment with an opening in the reservoir. The seed port further provides a trough and a hinged lid with a small opening that will alternatively deny access to the trough while permitting access to seeds in the reservoir; or deny access to seeds in the reservoir while permitting access to seeds in the trough.
