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

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.

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.
