How to Make a Squirrel Feeder

Step-by-Step Guide

   Step 1: Find a suitable piece of wood.

   Wood will function as the base of the corn feeder, so it is important that you find a stable piece of wood that is strong enough to remain in one piece once nails have been driven through it and can support the weight of the corn as well as the weight of the squirrels. , Once you have selected a suitable piece of wood, drive long nails or small spikes into the wood.
   
   Make sure the nails are spaced far enough apart from one another so that they can comfortable be fitted with an ear of corn. , Drive full ears of corn onto the nails you inserted into the piece of wood you selected.
   
   Make sure the ears are spaced far enough apart to allow multiple squirrels to access them at once. , Make sure that the feeder is placed in an area that is ideal for the squirrels and also accessible to you.
   
   You will need to be to access the feeder to replenish the food supply.
   
   If your primary aim is to observe the squirrels that come to your yard to feed, make sure the feeder is located in an area that will be visible to you. , If a feeder remains empty or the food supply has been exhausted for some time, squirrels will move on to other food sources.
   
   Be sure to keep your feeder well-stocked with ears of corn to ensure the squirrels keep coming back.
