This squirrel now comes up on the deck when I go out the door if she is hungry. When I put water in the bird bath, she chatters at me like she is saying thank you! Yesterday I put peanuts out and she buried almost all of them.
@homeschoolmom I've seen those and we talked about getting one! We do have a feeder that holds an ear of corn that's on a strap and they swing it and grab it as it comes back to the tree.
You probably guessed that I'd LOVE this! Funny, though, that all my animals out back ignore the corn (though I haven't tried fresh-on-the-cob). If you really get into "The Care & Feeding...etc", get some sunflower seeds from the bird seed aisle. They're nuts for those...and they don't bury them! (Mine bury the peanuts, too!) Darling picture!
@Weezilou Yes, I've noticed that the squirrels pick the sunflower seeds out of the birdseed! I always put extra birdseed on a cement bench we have. Today I saw a little chipmunk there eating and I've even seen a wild rabbit jump up there and eat.
@lynnz I'll be passing the torch to you as "Disney Princess for a Week"! Of course in that reigning position, you'll have to share photos of your little Kingdom with the eagerly awaiting throngs!
the close-ups really make the squirrels look well-groomed and perfect: as if she had gone to the beauty shop before her photo-shoot. Different take on these creature from my usual reaction (which is, "oh, cute vermin.")
I did not know that they would eat corn! Is that dried corn? I guess I did know that! IT is in the bird seed mix. Never seen one with a whole cob. LOL Super close up! Fav and thanks for the follow. Following you now
Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.
