How to keep squirrels out of your bird feeder

Squirrel eating seeds out of bird feeder.

Trying to figure out how to keep squirrels out of your bird feeder is likely high on your priority list if you enjoy attracting flocks of feathered friends to your garden. Squirrels are notorious for trying to break into feeders to steal nuts and seeds, but thankfully there are plenty of humane ways that you can deter them.

Investing in one of the best squirrel-proof bird feeders is a great place to start. Unlike traditional feeders, these have been specifically designed to allow birds to get in but keep squirrels out. While these are a great help, it’s worth noting that there’s currently no such thing as a completely squirrel-proof bird feeder, so we recommend pairing this with other methods.
