Claims
- 1. An animal feeding apparatus having a first end and a second end, comprising:a mounting region located at the first end; a resilient biasing device coupled to the mounting region, the resilient biasing device having a biasing force within a range that is capable of suspending an animal above the ground and moving the animal in a substantially oscillating motion; a food attachment device coupled to the resilient biasing device, and located at the second end; a mounting device attached to the mounting region, the mounting device including a length of chain; and a length of metal cable coupled between the resilient biasing device and the food attachment device.
- 2. The animal feeding apparatus of claim 1, wherein the resilient biasing device includes a coil spring.
- 3. The animal feeding apparatus of claim 1, wherein the resilient biasing device includes a biasing force within a range that is capable of suspending a typical squirrel above the ground and moving the typical squirrel in a substantially oscillating motion.
- 4. The animal feeding apparatus of claim 1, wherein the food attachment device includes a screw.
- 5. An animal feeding apparatus having a first end and a second end, comprising:a metal mounting device; a metal spring coupled to the mounting device, the metal spring having a spring force within a range that is capable of suspending an animal above the ground and moving the animal in a substantially oscillating motion; a flexible shield substantially covering the metal spring; a length of metal cable coupled to the resilient biasing device; and a metal food attachment device coupled to the length of metal cable, and located at the second end.
- 6. An animal feeding apparatus having a first end and a second end, comprising:a mounting region located at the first end; a plurality of length adjusting members attached to the mounting region; a resilient biasing device coupled to the plurality of length adjusting members, the resilient biasing device having a biasing force within a range that is capable of suspending an animal above the ground and moving the animal in a substantially oscillating motion; and an article of food located at the second end and coupled to the resilient biasing device using a food attachment device.
- 7. The animal feeding apparatus of claim 6, wherein the plurality of length adjusting members includes a length of chain.
- 8. The animal feeding apparatus of claim 6, further including a length of flexible material coupled between the resilient biasing device and the food attachment device.
- 9. The animal feeding apparatus of claim 8, wherein the length of flexible material includes a length of metal cable.
- 10. The animal feeding apparatus of claim 6, wherein the resilient biasing device includes a coil spring.
- 11. The animal feeding apparatus of claim 6, wherein the article of food includes a cob of corn.
