We have squirrels!

I like squirrels but I LOVE chipmunks! I have a bad habit of feeding them every summer/fall. They come running down from the back woods, and I put food out for them under the shed. It doesn't take long for them to get it all in their mouth and then they run back up to their home. It's SO cute! Squirrels are OK, but they jump on the bird feeder and knock a lot of the food on the ground (which the deer appreciate). Overall, I do love watching wildlife! I know we shouldn't feed them, they will just keep coming back and could even become dependent on our food, but I can't help it! I adore them!

that is really cute... i hardly see squirrels here because i don't live in the countryside... but i do love squirrels... they are a very cute and loving animals... the animals that i often see here are only cats and dogs... and sometimes i also give them food if i see that they are hungry... take care and have a nice day...

only animal have around here is outr dog and she eats every thing!!!!!

hi celticeagle thats odd come to think of it we do not see any squirrels around here in garden grove Ca.there were some in the last apt complex we lived in along with all sorts of birds.oddly the grounds were lovely with lots of trees flowering shrubs and grass bu the apartments themselves needed repair and were still renting at 1250 dollars a month. go figure, rents here in 'southern California areout of sight and no wonder ordinary p eople are leaving for other states.I love the climate and tusten where we were is lovely city compared to Garden Grove.here its sprawled out and not particular care is taken with yards and such.In my homestate South Dakota we had both grey and red squirrels and they were so much un to watch.My granddad was so gentle the squirrrles would come down and eat out of his hand. I was not patient enough I guess.

oh yes they are just so cute. when i lived in florida, i used to see a lot and rabbits to. id put scraps out for them. here theres a big wall and i dont get out side much, so dont see them. but i do heve humming birds come right up close out on the patio. so cute. i used to keep a hummingbird feeder by my window when i had my own house. ive been telling son we need one here

I love squirrels very much. They stay in front of my building. Daily I will keep food for them on the compound wall. If I start to watch squirrels I forget myself for some time that much I love them.

We feed the birds...that's all. Squirrels are cute to watch, but if they happen to get into your garage or attack that will make a complete mess...they can chew through anything. We used to keep our birdseed in a Rubbermaid container in the garage. Squirrels got into the garage and chewed a whole down through the container. Squirrels are cute to watch but terrible inside a building.

Hi celti, With the change in the seasons the birds and other small creatures seem to be facing difficulty but I feel they manage somehow. We had a pair of rabbits and they had grown large too but one day the small house made for them was broken apart by big dogs and all the rabbits perished. It felt so bad that my wife and my son could not help crying. Yes, there are some doves that drop some time at the backyard of our house and my wife throws them some edible and every morning they are there hopin to get something to pick up.

What a sweet and compassionate daughter you have! We've done the bird feeders but we've never actually fed the squirrels. Maybe that is something we can think about when we go to replace the bird feeders. I have seen those little corn feeders so maybe we'll get one. I love watching the squirrels in the fall running about hiding nuts. They are just so cute. One of my favorite stories from my childhood is about my grandfather. He used to bring squirrels home with him from work. He walked home from school, for a period, and he would bring them home. Funny little critters. Namaste-Anora

congratulations! i love the idea of someone adopting and making this world better i have 4 cats, 1 dog and all were sick and homeless, i'm 5 times happier than a normal person because of that :D each one of them makes me one time more happy

I have watched squirrels and I really don't know if I like to watch them or not. I don't see them everyday but I saw them few times before. I like birds and I use to give the food to them. I was a child when I use to spread the rice in from of my home to watch them come and eat the every seed one by one. I love the way they eat. They put their beak at the right place and with a quick moment. Birds have many things in them which I like. I want to fly like them but I can't so I only watch them. Once I killed a sparrow and I felt so much guilty for that. Even though I was a child but I felt like crying for doing the sin. I still remember that incident and after that day I never did that again. I love birds and I will never harm them in my life.
