Free Squirrel Feeder Plans
"These free squirrel feeder plans were just what I needed."

Below you'll find several plans for squirrel feeders to deter your backyard squirrels from stealing from your bird feeders and also just for the sake of enjoying watching the squirrels too!

You can use a variety of food in your squirrel feeder that will be a lot less expensive than bird seed such as corn and peanuts. Try to place the feeder well away from your bird feeder, if you have one, and eventually the squirrels will primarily or exclusively feed from their feeder instead of the birds.

Here is a nice looking squirrel feeder made with a mayonnaise jar and scrap wood.

You can fill this feeder with nuts or corn. The squirrels lift the lid and reach in to get the food. The dimensions can be adjusted to allow using different width cedar fence slats.

Here is a simple squirrel feeder woodworking project. It holds a whole ear of dried corn as a food source for the squirrels.

Squirrel Feeders currently availiable on ebay at very reasonable prices:

And if you love squirrels, you'll love this book we found, Squirrels: The Animal Answer Guide. An in-depth look at squirrels, their behaviors and great photos. As one reader commented, "If you have an interest in any of the squirrels in North America, you'll like this book. I am enjoying it immensely, and I have read most of the really good squirrel literature available."
