What aspects of a design would you find useful?
Bird feeder designs are all over the map. Give us a little help here. What type of birds? What type of seed? Hung from a wire? Mounted on a post? Simple and easy to build? Complicated design requiring a well equipped shop?

welcome to the forum, Leish.
I agree wit this. theres a jillion different designs. heck, one of mine is just a piece of plywood on a post.
do you want designs or plans?
maybe just changing your search term to
"birdfeeder plans" will open up the door for ya.

Start learning your search engine. Here's one with all the basics constructed on a chick feeder. http://www.littlehouseliving.com/mason-j...eeder.html
Simple peanut butter jar, but not much of a reservoir. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F_0QfaYNA1c/TZ...feeder.jpg
Minimum woodworking required. Glue the ring from the jar in your base so you won't lose it. https://img0.etsystatic.com/043/0/919135...6_k0ou.jpg

Wood traditional. Either single or double-sided. First few I made - long ago - were divided to feed small mixed one side (small feed slit) and oil seed on the other. (twice the gap) http://www.azwoodman.com/woodstore/birds...er2-lg.jpg
Don't forget the suet for the 'peckers and nuthatches.
And remember, all feeders become squirrel feeders without a guard.

I sell a set of plans for making your own birdhouse and feeder from a "Lincoln log" kit you make yourself.
Nice rustic look, and you can 'build' them in many different designs. Made from cedar.
See the plans here.
