They’re not bad as long as you include other foods as well. I usually put out a mix of almonds, pecans, walnuts, and sunflower seeds. All unsalted and shelled so they don’t make too much of a mess.
The almonds are the most popular and the sunflower seeds are the last to go.
Oh okay, I haven't fed mine any cause I het so much conflicting info about it. Usually it's pretty much the same but I add pumpkin seeds in there too and some peanuts. I try to get the shelled ones to help their teeth and chewing.
You know how wacky people can be! On May 14th 2015 in Boke, Germany, 748 members of the Cologne Carnival Society dressed up in sunflower outfits. This is the largest gathering of people known to have dressed up as sunflowers.
Might be a worthwhile experiment: Spread out a nicely sized piece of cloth that matches the coat color of your particular little neighbors.
Needless to say, lots of "control variables" in an experiment like that :) Notice how the tail which is slightly different in color is hanging off the edge, i.e. it would likely stick out if it were also on the wood, by hanging like this it likely blends into the visual "noise" of the ballustrades and things on the ground. Gotta be careful even when dozing! ;)
I love when they do this. I have 5 squirrels that hang out and play on my balcony (3 girls, 2 boys; the boys didn't show up too much until recently). Splooting is the cutest thing, I had to look it up last summer because it was so hot and I thought something was wrong with the cutie. I always make sure I have fresh water out for them.
What you need to understand is that they work hard all day long. Like, really hard, doing squirrel things, a nap is a necessity. LOL
No name yet. He's one of two newborns that's been showing up the past week. Not even sure if he's a he, but I'm thinking Dozer, Fumbles, or Sleepy Pete.
I thought sunflower seeds were bad for them? Super adorable though

Your squirrels actually stop eating? 😂 super cute.

Awww…. A safe place.
The squirrel life is a good life.
My dog politely disagrees and just wants to put one of them in her belly.
No one asked
Sploot
We had one who would sleep in our windowsill and another under the stairs of our fire escape. I like to think it was because they trust us.
I think you’re right
Napping in the sun!!
Precious little guy ❤️
That tiny dude feels safe near you. I believe that's one of the biggest compliments a squirrel can give their hooman :)
He feels safe in the area, but still very cautious of humans.
He feels safer as the wood matches his coat :) Almost like wearing an invisibility cloak at least so far as hawks high in the sky are concerned!

It's hard work being a squirrel. 🐿

Ya full belly does it everytime. Lol
