DIY Squirrel Feeder

This squirrel feeder requires only a minimum of materials. All that’s needed to build it is a 6-ft. fence board, a handful of screws and a 1-gal. glass jar. If you don’t have the glass jar, or don’t want to eat a year’s supply of pickles to build this feeder, ask local restaurants, schools or other establishments that buy food in bulk if they have a jar to spare. Just be sure it has an inside diameter of at least 6-in., so the squirrels can dine in comfort. Plus, giving squirrels a place to feed can keep them out of places they shouldn’t be— like your birdfeeders.
