I love squirrels. We have lots. They are so cute when they play together & chase each other. My cat sits at the window & watches them play in my pine tree in the front yard. Some of my neighbors don't like them & one asked me to stop putting out peanuts but the crows & jays like them, so too bad.

Here's a guy, Mark Rober, who built three different backyard obstacle courses for his squirrels. These vids are a hoot! He even did a taste test in one of the vids to see what treat the squirrels liked best. Spoiler: walnuts.

Not sure why so many people seem to resent squirrels. Because they eat birdseed? WTH? LOL

Enjoy your sweet squirrels!

If the lower bowl gets emptied by the squirrel they will move it to my sliding glass door and the squirrels like to cuddle with my ceramic cat.





I put a second bowl on the deck under top one because the previous one ended up shattered on our deck last year

These pictures were taken 5 years apart ! I wonder if it’s the same squirrel or a relative ?

Sent it to my brother who tends the squirrels in his yard. He needs to get building!
