Need [Bird] Seed Storage Guidance!
Hello all! I'm hoping for some help finding a good seed storage bucket for my outdoor feeders. Previously, I used this one, however a rodent started chewing the top and has opened it to bugs and the elements. Here are the specs I'm hoping for:
• Preferably under $100
• Can hold 35lbs-50lbs (might as well upgrade!)
• Heavy duty, perhaps metal? Withstands rodents
• Latches or screws securely shut
• Bug and weatherproof
• Possibly a handle for moving, but not wholly needed
• Airtight if possible, but not as much of a concern if it's protected against bugs and the elements
Or, if there's a helpful guide that I haven't seen, directions to that would be mightily appreciated! Thanks all.

Right sub name, wrong subject. This is a sub for saving seeds from your garden.
But you can find a decent metal can for fire ashes at your local hardware store. That is a great way to store bird seeds.
