Dedicated Squirrel Feeding Station: Offering squirrels a separate feeding area with popular treats can help draw them away from songbird feeders and reduce competition for bird seed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this station help keep squirrels away from my bird feeders?
Squirrels are opportunistic feeders and are naturally drawn to easy sources of food. By placing this high-capacity snack station in a quieter area of your yard and filling it with favorites such as ears of corn, peanuts, and fruit, you can give squirrels a dedicated feeding zone that may help draw them away from your songbird feeders.
How do I install the corn ears and keep the water cups clean?
The station includes pre-installed, heavy-duty metal stakes for mounting ears of wildlife corn. Simply push or twist the core of an ear of corn onto each stake until it is secure. On the Large model, the two removable plastic cups fit into the built-in poly lumber cutouts and can be easily lifted out for rinsing, cleaning, and refilling.
Why is poly lumber a better choice than traditional wood for a squirrel feeder?
Squirrels have strong teeth and claws that can wear down traditional wooden feeders, while moisture from rain and fresh foods can contribute to wood rot

This has been a hit not only with squirrels, but raccoons, and the corvids as well! It's sturdy and well-made, and I do agree that cleaning it is a major issue, as it got pretty gross pretty fast (wildlife are not neat eaters)! I wish there were either small holes drilled in the bottom where the nut hopper is to give the option to spray it out and let it drain, or perhaps an inch opening at the bottom of the plexiglass to also allow for a good hosing while also letting the Jays get to the peanuts. The biggest issue is shell removal. It would be great if the plexiglass could be removed, but I don't think the design would allow for that. Maybe a hinged door on the bottom to clean out the shells, or a keyhole hanger to allow you to remove it from the tree for cleaning. Right now- once you drill it in the tree, it's there for good, which poses problems for cleaning and refilling. Overall, it's a great treat for the wildlife and the humans!
Hi JB, thank you for sharing such detailed feedback! We're thrilled to hear the wildlife enjoys the station. Your suggestions for easier cleaning are very valuable, and we'll consider them for future improvements. We appreciate your support and hope the station continues to bring joy to both the animals and you!
Also, thank you for the pictures! We love to see them. That racoon is adorable!

I love these so much that I bought two for our beloved wildlife. They are durable and easy to clean. It’s great for wildlife camera enthusiasts and keep our squirrels and chipmunks happy. The size is perfect for them and they just love having something that is theirs. They stand on it and wave their tails around declaring “This is for us! Squirrels are important too! Hooray!” 59 million people feed birds. So, it’s nice to take care of squirrels too. 🐿️

After years of trying to keep squirrels out of our feeders, I decided to surrender and create their own "buffet" on the other side of our yard. They are absolutely loving this squirrel feeder. I bought critter food, added a squirrel cake on the right and a fresh apple on the left. They are fighting over it and finally staying away from the feeders. This squirrel feeder is well made and the screws that come with it are long enough to keep it from moving on the tree. There are 2 pre-drilled holes for extra stability and we added a 3rd just to be sure it will not shift. It's not made of wood so it will not split like others. It should last through all the winter weather. Thanks to JC's for a fine product.

My wife loves it. She can see it from the kitchen sink. I have not had to wash dishes for a week.

Great product

I really love the sturdy materials and design of this beautiful squirrel feeder. It blends with the gray of our weathered fence that the squirrels like to use for a highway, and they stop by frequently. We decided to cut off the sharp screws on the platform and just fill the inside with critter food. I like to sometimes put out several shelled walnuts on the platform too, which they enjoy.My only complaint is that it is difficult to clean, other than scooping out the leftover debris by hand. If it were mounted in such a way as to be able to lift it off the screws and shake it out, or if the front glass panel could slide up in order to sweep out debris, it would be perfect.

Greta quality, love the mixture of design and function. The screws are perfect for corn.
E
Outstanding craftsmanship! Material should last for many years with no maintenance required! Made in America! Worth every penny!

Excellent construction

This product is very nice looking and very well made. It’s well worth the price. If you like feeding your squirrels this is the feeder for you.

Large and high quality. Excellent materials.Only wish front plexiglass was much higher. It’s partially open so you can add food. Would have liked option to enclosed entire front due to weather and just add food from side holes.Really like item and it will work from many years to come.
C
Nicely constructed and very attractive, but I have a problem with the plexiglass not being removable for easy cleaning. I'm currently trying to figure out if I can remove the plexiglass before I install the feeder. A lid would have been nice. Squirrels are very messy, urinating and pooping both inside and outside of the feeders.
s
The backyard animals love this feeder. It’s very sturdy and well made. I installed it on the fence so I put a board underneath to support the weight. Im very happy with my purchase!

Very big and built very well, With quality material. Should last for years unlike those little cheap wooden type. I quess you get what you pay for.

Made with recycled plastic so it will not decay in the Florida climate - which destroys all types of wood easily. Removed the screws for the corn which we place on a concrete platform on the ground.Update 9/18/23 Reduced rating to 4 stars because it allows small raccoons to empty the feeder. I had to duct tape the entire front.Update 9/23/23 Duct tape didn't work. I bought this EasBriight 2-Pack of 12"×12" Plexiglass Sheets - 1/8" Thick Clear acrylic sheets from Amazon, measured and cut, installed 2 sheets with #4 x 3/4 zinc screws. The sheets go up to the roof. Be nice if the manufacturer would do this with the existing window as well as put a drawer on the bottom to allow removing and cleaning.

Built this for squirrels. Now it’s a meth lab for raccoons. I’m too scared to reclaim it, but they leave tributes—like shiny bottle caps and bones I don’t recognize. Five stars for fostering interspecies crime and giving me a reason to never go outside.

Well made. Looks good and will never rot.

We love this feeder! Thanks!

Great product for feeding squirrels. Holds lots of peanuts and its fun watching them go through the side holes to get them. I only wish it had a drain hole since we have so much rain and it is hard to get the water out that traps in the back. Very pleased with purchase

I am looking for a fly through with a cover for my sweet birds. I have a platform with like a dome covering, but I would rather have one altogether.
And… what do you suggest about keeping the black birds away. They are back again and my cardinals and blue jays stay away.
I’m South in Tennessee.
My ex-in-laws live in Cambridge, Evansville, and Greenfork. It has been many years of up that way… 😊
Thank you for your time.
Maybe I can someway send a picture of what I have already and you can suggest.
Hi MarthaLee!
I love that you know our sweet location - we ended up here almost 30 years ago and have loved it!
For something to keep the black birds away, and to keep feeding the cardinals and the blue jays, you should just bring the food in for a few days so that the black birds move on. You can also feed only safflower or golden safflower since the cardinals will eat it but the black birds can't crack the shells.
If you were feeding bluebirds, I'd recommend one of our enclosed bluebird feeders, but those aren't large enough for the cardinals and the blue jays. Unfortunately, cardinals and blue jays are a similar size to the black birds so there isn't a feeder that will feed one and not the other.
For a platform feeder with a cover, I'd suggest our fly thru - they are very popular. Here's a link to them (they come in 2 different sizes medium and large):
If you have any other questions, I'm happy to help!
