Why this feeder matters Lets you watch squirrels up close while keeping feed dry and contained. The slowrelease hopper prevents spills and the lockable lid protects corn and peanuts from rain and snow. Key benefits Reliable slow feed: Funnel hopper gradually releases corn or peanuts into the viewing tray so food lasts longer and feeding stays tidy. Weather protection: Lockable lid keeps rain and snow out so feed stays dry and usable. Built to last: Thick 15 mm charred (carbonized) pine resists warping and rot far better than thin 1 mm models, making it suitable for yearround outdoor use. Clear viewing: 5 mm acrylic front panel provides an unobstructed view of squirrel activity — for children and family wildlife watching. Fast refilling: Slideoff removable roof lets you load whole corn cobs in seconds. Deep tray plus covered hopper minimizes mess. Materials and performance Body: 15 mm solid charred pine (carbonized) for improved dimensional stability and rot resistance over thinwood feeders. Viewing panel: 5 mm clear acrylic for durable, crystalclear observation. Feeding system: Funnelstyle hopper that meters corn/peanuts into the tray to reduce waste and floor scatter. Lid: Lockable to seal out rain and snow and protect feed quality. What it holds and how it works Designed for whole corn ears, corn cobs, and peanuts. The slideoff accepts full corn ears and the hopper dispenses feed slowly into the deep viewing tray for continuous, lowmess feeding. Who this is for Families who want safe, educational wildlife viewing for children and grandparents. Teachers or nature educators who need a durable feeder for outdoor observation activities. Backyard wildlife enthusiasts who want a lowmaintenance, weatherresistant squirrel feeder. Use scenarios Window wildlife watching: Place the feeder near a window so kids and grandparents can enjoy frontrow views of playful squirrels through the 5 mm acrylic panel. Classroom or nature center demonstration: Use the feeder outdoors for lessons on animal behavior while keeping feed dry and contained. Patio or garden wildlife station: Mount the feeder in a yard to attract squirrels for regular, tidy viewing without constant refilling. What sets it apart Thicker, carbonized pine construction resists warping and rot for longterm outdoor use. Transparent acrylic front gives a true 'squirrel theater' experience without disturbing the animals.
