Two is better than one
While many people see birds as a welcome addition to their local wildlife, they also see squirrels as a problem. However, squirrels can bring vibrant and exciting activity to your backyard. Providing just as much entertainment as the beautiful birds you feed, squirrels are a great reason to stock up on feed corn before 2016.

This one’s for the birds… And this one isn’t
First things first, it can be a nice gesture to separate bird feeders and squirrel feeders. It is great to feed both of these little critters, but providing the same source of food for both of them can be troublesome. While squirrels pose no immediate threats to birds – they food or knock it out of place or on the ground where it could get wet and rot. They also have a habit of scaring songbirds away from the feeder!

The best way to keep squirrels out of bird food is to first buy feeders specifically made for each animal. Then, place your birds’ feeder out of reach from their furry-tailed friends. Remember that squirrels can jump around 10 feet vertically, so it is best to put your bird feeder on a metal pole as far away from any roofs, branches or other structures as possible.
There’s a season for feeding
While you can feel free to feed the birds and squirrels all year round, some times are more important than others. Squirrels can be fed year-round if you wish, but most birds only need help at certain times of year. There are specific seasons and events when birds need extra energy and that is when it is important to feed them. Late winter and early spring, migration seasons and extreme temperatures are the most important times to provide food for birds. Stock up on feed corn and you can be prepared to keep your backyard birds fed at the most crucial times, or all year long.
