There are so many cool squirrel feeders now that will keep them entertained and away from the birds.
Making them work just a little bit for their supper is good for their teeth and gets them thinking creatively, plus is also very entertaining for you! I love the idea of this wheel that you attach to a tree or fence post and you add dried corn on the cobs. The squirrel will chew off the kernels and give their teeth a good workout. Then there is the cute tractor that holds a couple of ears of corn that is decorative and functional. It can be hard to find feeders such as these in the local bird food store where they mostly supply critter proof feeders, but you can get many cool ideas online or even make your own. This is a cheap way to add entertainment to your yard as well as keep your birds happy. |
Chair Cob Feeder
You attach these to a tree or post away from your birds feeding areas and there is a nail that you feed the cob onto that keeps it strongly attached. The squirrel ends up sitting in the seat and enjoying chewing on the cob.

Corn Cobs
It can sometimes be hard to find these dried corn cobs in the bird feed stores but you can get them online for a good price. This fit the squirrel corn feeders perfectly.
