Houston here. Love watching
Not the way it works here after 17yrs with them
Nothing wrong with being different!
You can't go out looking like that, What will the neighbours think. 😅😅😅😅
Plenty of oak leaves...❤❤
We like to joke that when they bring in new oak leaves that they are changing the sheets 😂 Thanks for watching!!
@@mybackyardfriends7326 ❤❤ love squirrels. 🐿🐿
❤
Awwww there was a mama and triplets in our backyard they were so beautiful hopping around
Thanks for watching!!
i thought slender man was going to show up at 2:29
He did
Love it!!!❤
That is so cool!!
Thanks Anthony!
Pretty cool and interesting to see
Thanks for watching Jim!
Jump day… 😂
They weren’t lying when they said it’s literally jump day. I was not prepared for how funny yet amazing it was to watch
In my opinion the wood duck is one of the coolest birds in the world. They certainly can compete with any animal for the title of “Worlds Most Gorgeous/Beautiful”. I have heard that the wood ducks in lower Michigan often seek out the Pilated Woodpecker’s holes in trees to use as nests. Awesome video.
Watching this whole process over a month and a half a have a whole new respect for them! This mama put in a ton of time and work for these chicks. Mothers don’t get near enough credit! Hahaha Thanks for watching and the comment!!
Baby squirrels arguing can never not be cute!
Memories of having Macovies!
It’s funny how he curled up for a bit in the first 10 seconds.
Gotta test out the new sheets!! 😂 thanks for watching
@@mybackyardfriends7326 you’re welcome.
🦫
This is why I never bag my leaves as the animals and birds use grass clippings and leaves to build nests! All my clippings and leaves are put on my compost pile for free building materials!
Yep! Good on you! That’s very considerate of you. Many people don’t understand the ground cover it produces for wildlife/bugs that are important too. Thanks for watching and the comment. Blessings to you and yours!
@@mybackyardfriends7326 And my compost pile also provides cover for black snakes which help keep the mice population down! Last year I had 3 black snakes take up accommodations in my compost pile. They too are important to the neighborhood!
A merry mother to be! You are totally awesome, sir! Jovial greetings from Sweden. 😃👍🏻
Thanks so much for watching!
Cussing like sailors 😂😂
That’s exactly how I imagine it too!! 😂😂 thanks for watching Riot!
🥺🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thanks for watching!
Shootout at the O.K. Corral? Do they need more room?
We have plenty of other nest boxes and hole in our oaks. But this group still decides to pack in. Soon one will become pregnant this spring and will kick everyone else out. Just the cycle that happens. But this group has been extra cuddly and together. Fun to see the difference from litter to litter. Thanks for watching
One big happy family... or an interloper? Did the one that left come back? Domestic dispute?
They were all cuddling an hour later. Don’t be fooled by big attitudes lol. Domestic disputes do happen occasionally amoung sibling haha
Gary is upset with Carl as Carl is late on his rent...
😂🤣😂🤣 thanks for watching and the laugh!
wow they are chapped about something!! thx for sharing!
Momma squirrel looked super happy to come back to her babies. The babies finally fell asleep and she woke them and checked every inch of them to make sure they were fine almost like she worries nonstop when she is gone. What a good momma squirrel. I do know they have many predators to worry about.
Thanks for watching! Blessings to you and yours
😍
Thanks for watching!
We have beavers in Iowa!? So sick
Indeed! You’ve drove close past this spot every day going to school for years. Mr. Colby is helping me with this. He’s a DUDE!
When birds make noises, I pretend what they're saying. These birds...must have a forin laugh!!!😅
Now I see where the term ‘squirrelly’ comes from!
Indeed! 😂😂 Thanks for watching!
I want to figure out a good home for my Az ground squirrel thats above ground
Good luck!
🦆
Smart strong lovey !
Thanks for watching our fun critter friend!
I love fat squirrel season 💕
It really is the best! Thanks for watching
I love how the deer actually looked straight at the squirrel. Sharing makes me happy. But in warmer weather, Chipmunks steal all the squirrel and bird food!
The deer definitely realize the squirrels are key to more corn scraps. Thanks for watching! ❤️
Feeding squirrels in the morning reminds me of growing up on a farm. Animals need to be fed before breakfast!
In my opinion, the roof is not airtight. the roof should be made of one piece, it does not allow water to pass through, or the roof should be covered with something tight. I have a question: how is your roof, squirrels?
I understand your concern. But on the underside it had plastic siding barrier, then a small sheet of plywood. Then plastic protecting our cameras. We’ve never once have had an issue with moisture. We just use what we had around and made it work
what a great video. Thank you.
Appreciate you watching and the comment!!
what kinda of camera did you use? I just bought a nest for a squirrel that I'm pretty sure is pregnant, she comes every day to eat at a birdhouse I set for her, but I'm not certain how to set her house, any recommendations on how should I set it?
Is the camera wireless or will you have it wired ip?
Hey, I’m trying to find a squirrel house big enough just like yours, I haven’t seen any good ones online, I know that you made yours at home but, if you could recommend a good house, that’s perfect for the camera that you recommended, I would appreciate it greatly. Love the content bro 🙏🏼🔥
All squirrel houses I’ve seen online are a bit smaller than this homemade one. We specifically made this bigger because all the others were a bit smaller and we had the scrap wood. The size honestly doesn’t matter. Half the the year a dominant female will take it over for her birthing she’ll do twice a year. I’ve bought a few squirrel houses online and been most impressed with the JC wildlife ones if I’m being honest. Squirrel are going to chew and destroy anything you get, but that one has held up best of the ones we have bought. jcswildlife.com/collections/squirrel-houses/products/jcs-wildlife-ultimate-squirrel-house-nesting-box Good Luck! Let us know how it goes David!
Wear them down.
I wish I could have a squirrel house, but live in a Hoa. Still, enjoy feeding them.🐿️
Feeding and watching is still fun too! Thanks for watching, Lisa
🦌
Wow, this was so interesting
Thanks for watching!!
Good
Thanks for watching!
But it took some Time, right?
Yep. Everything does.. time is 💰
Very cool video. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
That’s the proper spirit! Good man - well done! 😃👍🏻
Thanks for watching! Blessings to you and yours!
Fantastic video view. Thank you
@@Buckeye532 thanks for watching!
❤Love this,I also have many squirrel friends living all around me and feed them everyday,am going to put up some houses too, this is so inspiring ""Thank you for sharing🥰💞💖💞
Thanks for watching! And good luck to you!
there are too many variables, every case, every situation is different, people following all the rules all the time is what has gotten us into the environmental problems we have today. We knew it was wrong to cut down all the big trees, pollut the river but, it was do what we were told to do are loose our jobs. All I know is it's time for change. Evolve into a species capable of taking better care of our environment are we will continue to suffer from the disasters we have caused. The beaver can and will help for free.
I hope they never come up here and jump my fence, Rocky insists on going out the pet door at 12:30 every night
Funny you say 12:30. I’ll send you a video of exactly 12:30. I know why he goes out
