Birds steal my squirrel's food :(

[Frog]

Hello! I only have one squirrel at my house, so she is very special to me. She's a beautiful fox squirrel with a lot of personality. She is also a nursing mama. I love to feed her, but unfortunately, the doves and Blue Jays are always stealing the food I put out for her. I'm hoping to find some type of feeder for her that the birds can't get into. it seems I have the opposite problem than most, as people generally are looking for squirrel proof feeders for their birds.
Any help is so appreciated!

That's great caring for your beautiful Foxer 😍
What's her name I'm sure you've given her one 😁🐿️
This is a different situation. We have a lot of creative members I'm sure some will be able to help 👍
I'll be interested seeing the ideas 💡

Do a Google search for "bird proof squirrel feeder". They work great for me.

Yes there are squirrel feeders that require the squirrel to nudge a lightweight "roof" open in order to get the nuts out. Birds can't manage this .

I never knew this , how cool 😎
Ummm but ya might want to still put out some seeds for your feathered friends 😁

I've spent this afternoon trying to remove a huge corn snake from my NUTHOUSE where I feed my squirrels....his name is CORNY (I'm hoping a he) he's hung around my yard for years I can actually pick him up but I DON'T want him around my squirrels 😬
I actually live in a jungle 😜
Pic's to follow 😉

CORNY he's about 5 feet 🙄 however I can walk inches from him and he never tries to be aggressive or move away 😅
I know but I do love snakes 🤗

Thanks, Charlie – her name is frog. I figure my username should be hers, as I am on "her board". 🐸 🐿️

Also, I do feed all of the birds, but they're just little thieves when it comes to her special organic foods.
I do like the idea of looking it up on a search engine, but when I have googled a bird proof squirrel feeder, it seems I always get squirrel proof birdfeeder. So if anybody has any names of products or photos, I'd be very appreciative!
PS: the corn snake – scary to me!

I googled squirrel feeder and found several on temu. I also got a hit in the Wal-Mart site and there were lots of pictures from all sides of the feeders. If you're handy, they are relatively easy to make. The design is easy to recognize: look for an overhanging roof with a hinge on the back to lift it up.

Thank you so much! I may just get the window feeder. I didn't mention that my squirrel climbs to my upstairs deck to come visit. (So anything that can be attached to a tree wouldn't work.) But the window feeder will be great! I have clear feeders for my birds so now they can all have a little snack. I really appreciate your sending that link!

Hopefully it will work 🤞
Looking forward to pics when you set it all up 👏
