Free Squirrel Feeder Plans
Below you'll find free squirrel feeder plans 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.

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."
If you love squirrels, we think you would love this book. When you take the time
to really watch an animal, you start to learn a lot about them; much more than
the casual passerby who sees them come and go in the park. This book tells all.
