Sharing is Caring: Feeding Your Squirrel Friends

Keeping the peace in your backyard by giving local wildlife a snack spot of their own!


Let us face it, squirrels are acrobatic masterminds with an impressive dedication to free food.

But instead of playing an endless game of backyard guard duty, a great way to solve the bird feeder raid is to set up a dedicated dining spot just for them! By offering dedicated squirrel feeders stocked with corn, peanuts, or special treats away from your main bird station, you can keep everyone happy, well-fed, and out of your bird seed.

When local squirrels and chipmunks have an easy-to-reach buffet of their own, they are far less likely to bother your fine-feathered visitors. It is a win-win setup that lets you enjoy the entertaining antics of your furry neighbors while keeping your premium bird seed safe and sound!
