Simply put, squirrel feeders help keep squirrels away from bird feeders. Not only do squirrels damage your bird feeders, but they also consume a lot of costly seed mix. We suggest posting this squirrel feeder on a tree, post, or deck in your yard (back mounting bracket included). Accepts peanuts, corn, and other large seeds to delight squirrels. Metal construction fights chew damage. Holds up to three quarts (4 lbs) of food.
