Squirrels

There are many ways to keep squirrels from eating all of your bird food.

 

The Right Food - Safflower


Safflower is a small, white seed that is high in protein and fat. Many of your favorite birds, including jays, cardinals, chickadees, House Finches, doves, titmice and nuthatches, readily eat safflower, but squirrels typcially do not.

On-Guard Cages


Try an On-Guard™ wire mesh cage around your existing feeders. Our On-Guard solutions are designed to allow smaller birds access but prevent squirrels (and larger birds) from reaching the food in a feeder. Openings are typically 1.5 or 2 inches wide. Orioles, House Finches, and Small Woodpeckers can gain access. Mockingbirds, Jays, Crows & Ravens, Doves & Pigeons are excluded

Distance


Place your bird feeding setup at least 8 to 10' away from any tree or building. This keeps squirrels from jumping on top of, or onto, your feeders. Consider any fences, tree branches, or plants that can be used as a launching point. 

 

Baffles


Try a pole baffle on your bird feeding setup to prevent squirrels from reaching your feeders from below. Mount the baffle 5' from the ground. You can also use a hanging baffle with your feeder tucked below it to deter squirrels from reaching your feeders from above.
