Squirrel Feeders

Why fight squirrels when you can feed them? BIRDLOVER's handcrafted squirrel feeders are made from natural, non-toxic materials — giving squirrels their own dedicated feeding spot so they leave your bird feeders alone. Safe for wildlife, beautiful in any garden, and endlessly entertaining to watch.

Why a Dedicated Squirrel Feeder is a Smart Move

Squirrels are relentless. No matter how squirrel-proof your bird feeders are, determined squirrels will keep trying. The most effective long-term strategy isn't exclusion — it's redirection. A dedicated squirrel feeder placed away from your bird feeders gives squirrels exactly what they want, in exactly the right place, and dramatically reduces raiding behavior at your bird feeding station.

Squirrel Feeder Styles We Carry

  • Picnic table feeders: Miniature wooden picnic tables where squirrels sit and eat — endlessly entertaining and a garden photography favourite
  • Corn cob holders: Simple spike or clamp designs that hold whole corn cobs — squirrels' favourite food, hours of activity
  • Box feeders: Enclosed wooden feeders with a hinged lid that squirrels learn to open — great for nuts, seeds, and corn
  • Hanging feeders: Suspended designs that swing and spin as squirrels feed — natural, acrobatic entertainment

Best Foods for Squirrel Feeders

  • Whole corn cobs: The #1 squirrel food — long-lasting, natural, and keeps them busy for hours
  • Peanuts in shell: High energy, loved by squirrels, and fun to watch them crack open
  • Mixed nuts: Walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds — squirrels will cache extras for winter
  • Sunflower seeds: A squirrel favourite that also attracts birds if any spills

Placement Tips for Maximum Effect

  • Place squirrel feeders at least 10–15 feet away from your bird feeding station
  • Position near trees where squirrels already forage — they'll find it quickly
  • Refill regularly — a well-stocked squirrel feeder keeps squirrels focused and away from bird feeders
  • Enjoy the show — squirrels are acrobatic, intelligent, and genuinely entertaining to watch
