A Zany Squirrel Puzzle Feeder
Hey Guys, I guess its not enough to make puzzling things for people to enjoy, it seems squirrels can be quite entertaining!
Since Squirrels can be so clever I wanted to make a feeder that was fun for them and me, ha! Morning coffee has never been more entertaining.
I do like to recycle where I can so upcycling a pair of old mason jars was the ticket to make it all come together.
There is a divider inside that goes corner to corner so that one jar is attached to one door.
Each door has a different locking system just for giggles. Each locking system is super simple and can be set to easy or hard for the squirrels.
While I tested this outside in the weather, I do think that because of the moving parts, that an out of the weather spot is best.
I really wouldn't want to make more than one of these, though fun, but if you want the plans I would be happy to share the link.
I am patiently waiting for a great squirrel video to happen, until then I await with my camera ever ready.

That is cool, making them work for the freebies. They can be very entertaining to watch, have a bunch around here that we laugh at.

AnI\ interesting build and I'm sure entertaining but I would rather feed those tree living rats lead. They are destructive flea and disease carrying varmints around my place.
Ha, I hear ya LesB. I used to feel the same way.
However, watching the joy it brings my 78 year old mum is the brightest part.
