Squirrels are always working, burying, digging, and planting the next generation of trees without ever meaning to. The WildYard Squirrel Feeder gives backyard squirrels a place to refuel, and gives you a front-row seat to the busiest residents in your yard.
Squirrels raiding the bird feeder isn't mischief; it's hunger looking for the easiest meal. Give backyard squirrels a station of their own and the raids tend to stop. The WildYard Squirrel Feeder mounts on a wall, fence, or tree, holds a steady supply of squirrel food, corn on the cob, peanuts, nuts, and seed, and turns the daily scramble into something you'll actually want to watch.
This squirrel feeder offers backyard squirrels a safe place to eat as urban development reshapes their habitat. Squirrels play a real role in a healthy yard, spreading seeds and improving soil as they forage and bury, so their presence is a sign of a balanced, thriving backyard. As a member of 1% for the Planet, WildYard donates 1% of annual revenue to vetted environmental nonprofits, and partners with national parks to support wildlife habitat beyond the garden fence.

Why a Squirrel Feeder + FAQs
A squirrel feeder gives backyard squirrels a feeding spot of their own, so the raids on your bird feeder tend to stop. Handcrafted from 100% cedar, it holds corn on the cob on twin metal wire holders and gives squirrels and chipmunks a spacious landing pad to sit and feed. It mounts on a wall, fence or tree, is built to last through any weather, and arrives fully built. Feed them properly, and the daily scramble turns into something you'll want to watch.
Lift the hinged roof, drop a fresh corn cob on the wire holders, top up the tray, close it. No screws, no tools, no taking the tray apart on the deck. Most yards need a refill every few days in autumn and winter when squirrels are caching hard, less in summer. The refill takes under a minute, which is the whole point: feeders that are annoying to fill end up empty.
It ships fully built with wall and tree mounting hardware included, so it goes up the day it arrives. Pick a spot 5–6 feet off the ground on a tree trunk, fence post, shed or garden wall, with a branch or railing nearby so squirrels have a route in. Somewhere you can see from a window is worth thinking about, since watching it is half of what you're buying.
Corn on the cob and squirrel corn for the wire holders. Peanuts in shell, walnuts, sunflower seeds, acorns, even carrot pieces in the tray. Chipmunks will show up too, and that's normal. Skip salted or roasted nuts, they're bad for squirrels. If you'd rather not feed at night, put out only what gets eaten during the day and keep the tray light going into the evening.
Cedar is naturally rot and insect resistant, which is why it's used for outdoor furniture and shingles. It won't rust like thin metal or crack like plastic. Left untreated it weathers to a soft silver-grey over a few seasons and keeps working. If you'd rather keep the original tone, a coat of exterior oil once a year does it. Never paint or stain the inside.
