Woodworker Michael Dutko's creation to keep squirrels out of birdfeeders went viral.

When his bird-watching neighbors complained of squirrels chasing away all the birds from their yard, woodworker Michael Dutko of Hilliard got creative. Aiming to lure the squirrels away from the bird feeders next door, he created “The Nutty Bar” – a pub for the critters to grab a stool and partake in a range of nuts on tap: from Pecan Porters to Peanut Pilsners.
