7. The Log “Drill Hole” Feeder

For a natural look, use a fallen log. By drilling deep holes and filling them with peanut butter, you encourage squirrels to use their long tongues and clever fingers, mimicking how they find grubs in the wild.

  • Materials Needed:
    • Thick branch or small log
    • Drill with a 1-inch bit
    • Peanut butter and sunflower seeds
  • Steps:
    • Drill several holes 1–2 inches deep into the log.
    • Mount the log horizontally to a tree.
    • Pack the holes with a mixture of peanut butter and seeds.
