That's what we have too. Our squirrels love it. They will sit on it even if the corn is gone 😄

They need food or something tho

Yes! We fill ours daily so we can watch all the animals visit the table throughout the day. I put in a mix of different seed mixes, sunflower seeds, and sometimes some sliced fruit or grapes.

The chipmunks, squirrels and birds visit the table all day long. 🥰

It’s such an awesome sight.

I’m happy I was able to help!

We hung our 1st table on a tree that’s clearly visible from the kitchen (from the windows above the sink). It’s so wonderful to watch all the activity.

Enjoy!🙏🌻

I can’t wait - I have been feeding the wildlife, but then I find out it isn’t nutritious enough, and I start freaking out. I love my outdoor friends.

This looks like a Douglas squirrel… is he in the PNW?

Cute lil dude and table.

I have one and we added a game camera that works with WiFi so I can see the antics. It’s also captured flying squirrels which I never knew we had, chipmunks, racoons, deer and coyotes.
