Feeding squirrels in your garden can be not only entertaining to watch but might convince them to leave your bird feeders alone by purchasing specially designed squirrel feeders and squirrel food. And by placing the feeders in an area of your garden away from bird traffic, feeders and nest boxes. As a result, you can maximise your chances of squirrels and birds co-existing in a happy, healthy garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt may take a while for squirrels to find the feeders. Placing some peanuts or specially-formulated squirrel food on or around the feeder will encourage them to use it. Once discovered, and you remove any old food and top up regularly.
