If you’re a do-it-yourself type of person, why not try to build your own squirrel proof bird feeder for the wild squirrels in your yard? With the right tools and supplies you can build squirrel proof feeders at a lower cost than store models. This may even be a great project to get the kids involved (with supervision of course).
With a few supplies commonly found in hardware stores, you can build your own squirrel proof bird feeder. You just might finally win in the man verses squirrel bird feeder game. The feeder may not win awards for the most beautiful design but if it works, you’ll definitely be saving some money on bird feed. It does look a bit labor intensive but I know some folks out there love being able to make things themselves. Your wild squirrel friends are waiting.
