@gilbertwood No, we bought it - it's a feeder, which provides a bit of shelter too and an eating platform. There are lots of them sold around us, made by some enterprising people, no doubt. The squirrels can use it, but the crows can't - or at least they won't as long as you don't fill it up to the top. Half full is the trick - the crows don't dare go in that far. The agile squirrels love it! Although I notice that from the photo, you don't actually see that the box has peanuts in it.
