The 'Squirrel Jar' Corn Cob Feeder | Birds Choice USA-Made Recycled Poly Lumber Squirrel Jar Feeder

The Experience

The Birds Choice Squirrel Jar is a recycled poly lumber squirrel feeder built around one of the most naturally compelling food presentations in backyard wildlife feeding — a full gallon glass jar packed with corn cobs and critter mix, mounted in plain sight, completely visible to every squirrel within range of the property. There's no lid to figure out, no mechanism to master — just an open-face jar presentation that puts the food on display and lets squirrel instinct do the rest. The 1-gallon glass jar provides both generous capacity and unobstructed visibility, allowing the property steward to monitor feed levels from a distance and observe the full spectacle of squirrel feeding behavior without approaching the station. The recycled poly lumber frame in Birds Choice's signature taupe and green colorway is guaranteed never to crack, split, or fade under normal weather exposure — no painting, no staining, no seasonal treatment required. Stainless steel fasteners throughout ensure the hardware holds as long as the shell does. Mount it to a post, pole, or tree at squirrel height, load the jar with corn cobs or critter mix, and step back. The Squirrel Jar doesn't just feed squirrels — it puts them on stage.

Scientific Engineering

• 1-Gallon Glass Jar Reservoir: A full gallon glass jar provides generous feed capacity for extended intervals between refills — holding a substantial supply of corn cobs or critter mix while keeping the entire contents visible from outside the feeder at all times.
• Open-Face Presentation Design: The open jar configuration presents food without a behavioral barrier — no lid to lift, no mechanism to master — allowing squirrels immediate access upon arrival while maximizing the observation value of each feeding visit.
• Full Visibility Feed Monitoring: The glass jar construction provides unobstructed views of the feed supply from any angle — allowing real-time monitoring of food levels and consumption rates without approaching the feeder or disturbing active feeding sessions.
• Recycled Poly Lumber Frame: The feeder body is constructed from recycled poly lumber — a high-density material manufactured from post-consumer recycled plastic — guaranteed never to crack, split, or fade under normal weather exposure. No painting, staining, or seasonal treatment required.
• Stainless Steel Fasteners: Stainless steel screws throughout provide corrosion resistance and long-term structural integrity across seasons of outdoor exposure without hardware degradation.
• Versatile Mounting Configuration: Compatible with post, pole, and tree mounting — adaptable to any existing garden infrastructure without additional hardware requirements.

Boutique & Conservation Values

• The Theater of Squirrel Feeding: Eastern Gray Squirrels are among the most cognitively active and behaviorally expressive wildlife residents on any property — capable of problem-solving, cache memory, and social negotiation that makes sustained observation genuinely rewarding. The Squirrel Jar's open presentation and glass visibility turn every feeding session into an unobstructed behavioral study worth watching.
• The Corn Cob Advantage: Corn cobs engage squirrels in extended feeding sessions — the physical act of stripping corn from a cob takes significantly longer than consuming loose seed, keeping squirrels anchored to their dedicated station rather than ranging across the property in search of additional food sources.
• The Redirection Strategy: A dedicated squirrel feeding station positioned away from bird feeders gives squirrels a better option than your Chickadee feeder — not eliminating squirrel activity, but redirecting it toward a designated observation point that benefits the steward as much as the squirrel.
• Proudly Made in the USA: Manufactured by Birds Choice in the United States. ✅
• Conservation-Grade Materials: Recycled poly lumber diverts post-consumer plastic from landfills while producing a material that outlasts wood by decades — conservation embedded in the construction, not just the catalog copy.
