Object of Desire: A Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder from Germany

Hanging from a slender steel cable, a wooden bird feeder with a peaked roof can thwart marauding squirrels—with style.

To manufacture the bird feeder, Germany-based designer Sabine Meyer partnered with the Caritas Wendelstein Workshops, which for the past 25 years has given vocational training and jobs to workers with learning difficulties.

Meyer’s bird feeder is part of the Side by Side homewares collection, which also includes a clothes drying rack, a freestanding clothing wardrobe, and other products made of domestic woods “treated with environmentally friendly oils, waxes, or paints.”
