I know i have already commented before but after watching this again I can't help but notice how well they parkour from one object to another in the blink of an eye! After jumping such distance you would think they would get a sliver in their paw from the wood 🪵 splinters. Anazing critters!🥰👍❤️❤️
Sure buddy, until they start destroying your property, chewing all your wires, etc, then we'll see how much you really want around. Don't be fooled by the fluffy tail, they are still pest, nothing different from a rat.
MJ H No, just like there are different species of squirrels, there are also variety’s of a certain type of squirrel. They can also be dark grey, and white. If you ever see a white squirrel you might want to check the eyes and any exposed undercoat though, they could possibly be an albino and not a variation of grey squirrels at all.
I think this is the initation ceremoni. If he can jump and reach the feeder he is adult. If not, training a week, and try again... 😀Great video, thank you
That's incredible, they are little buggers aren't they 😂 I guess the birds will get used to the squirrels eventually. I live in an apartment building on the fifth floor with no balcony and about 10 minutes ago a squirrel jumped onto my window screen! Frightened the life out of my cat. I've seen them a few times now clinging to the brickwork. Thank you for showing these videos! 🙏🏻
@@mjh5437 They will climb right up a brick wall!! I had a brick house in the past and always hung feeders on the perimeter of my covered patio. When the tray bird feeder under the tree was empty, a squirrel would climb right up the wall to the kitchen window, and either try to get in through the screen or would start squawking like crazy if the window wasn't open until I went out and filled the tray. No joke!! I hung a hummingbird feeder out there as well for many years, and in spring when they arrived, they would "announce" their arrival by hovering outside the large picture window next to the kitchen table until I hung the feeder on the patio. That always used to amaze me - every spring they would do it. I guess if they lived for their five years, in time they had an idea where their food came from.

Hi. Our Daisy Girl Scouts are participating in project squirrel today . I researched squirrels of New York where we live and am excited to show them your video
It is 11 feet from my roof to the end of my tree with feeder - they do that with ease - should watch Squirrel Obstacle Course from PBS and Red Squirrel Extreem Assault Course from BBC - they really show the power of these little guy!
Really enjoy your videos❣️‼️❣️‼️don’t watch the Europe or Africa videos because I only want to learn and see our Native American birds.thanks for your cool bird sanctuary, I also have a small sanctuary here in Kansas.keep up the great work in saving our birds this very cold winter.🌻😁⭐️🥇🇺🇸
You can put 6 inch galvanized steel stove pipe around your trees where they like to launch, they can’t climb or hold on to the slick pipe. It’s about $14 for each 5 foot pipe. It works, i use it to protect my bird feeder.
I once had a rain barrel half full of water, and discovered two drowned squirrels, always wondered what ever happened to them when I used the water for my plants.
I think the squirls are having fun freaking out the birds. They don't really care about the food, they want to scare the birds or see how many times it'll take to break the feeders.
Squirrels are basically the bullies of backyards lol. People call pigeons the "rats of the sky" but squirrels might as well be the rats of the suburbs. On the one hand, it's frustrating how they eat the birdseed and scare away the birds, on the other they are kinda cute and you gotta admire their ingenuity.
such a wild video! Did you end up doing some heavy-duty reinforcing on that green feeder which was being used as a "landing pad" for the squirrel to transfer to the box feeder, or just continually putting those metal rods back through the section they came out of?
Luckily, the feeder is easy to put back together. So I just continually put those metal rods back through the section they came out of. Thanks for watching!
Me: "Aw, an amazing mix of birds all peacefully enjoying some free snacks...." *instant mayhem from squirrel flying in from a random direction* "HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GUYS! It's me, Sammy the squirrel, back for more of those free snacks!" Bye bye birds. :(
Hello Scott, this is totally off topic from video but I was wanting to ask you some questions please. The big green metal feeder can you set it just to feed one starling at a time? Also is it hard for the birds to sling seed all out on the ground? Thanks 😊
The green feeder is weight triggered so a starling would be too heavy for that feeder. It is for smaller birds. And you cant set it, it is set and thats all you can do. And yes it is hard for the birds to sling seed on the ground which is a good thing because with this feeder there is less mess. Thanks for watching.
Can you put a super large transparent plastic baffle over that blue feeder? They wouldn't be able to get a grip on it and would fall right off. I'll try to post a link to what I'm talking about
Yes, I have thought about it, but it would probalby look ugly, and there are so many other trees around that they could just climb those and jump over!
Can we not find some wild birds that attack squirrels. I thought the Blue Jays around my bird feeder would go at the squirrels because they are super feisty. But they just sit in the trees waiting squawking away until squirrels leave.
Obviously, you need to cut two trees down and get rid of that unfortunately placed blue feeder!! LOL. Nope, obviously not. I've got the same problem in South Carolina. I just raise the window and cuss at the squirrels. Well, it works, and nothing else has!!
And if you look at the hanging green tray in the back ground, that is filled with sunflower specifically for the squirrels. They have plenty of food to eat.
Hey Cindy. Make sure to check out my live cameras, my squirrels eat better than most humans! There is food for them on the ground and a green tray feeder hung in the trees specifically for them. I try to keep them out of my bird feeders since they scare away the birds.
number 16 was impressive
Amazing little guys. Such agility!
There are only 2 constants in life.
Squirrels getting into bird feeders, and humans who think that they can stop the first constant.
Even though they're pests at the feeders, I can't help but admire their agility.
They are genius's! No matter what I do, give the squirrel a day or two and he will figure out how to beat it!
I know i have already commented before but after watching this again I can't help but notice how well they parkour from one object to another in the blink of an eye! After jumping such distance you would think they would get a sliver in their paw from the wood 🪵 splinters. Anazing critters!🥰👍❤️❤️
Squirrels are so smart!
Nothing can stop a ninja squirrel, great athlets. It's always a pleasure to see their jump, and sometimes misses. Thanks for this video.
The misses are my favorite part!

gotta love squirrels! one of natures acrobats. wish we had more around us.

@@YeahCalifornia_ we've had PLENTY of them around our house. WHATEVER.
@@bbdudeyt they get into my attic they jump from a tree (which was cut down but not enough)
Especially liked # 5, the black squirrel from the tree on the right. Was the only time I've ever seen that. Thanks for posting this clip !
Hey Paul, it took a long time to get a black squirrel jumping. It seems the gray ones did it much more often.
@@BirdWatchingHQ Are the black ones some kind of freak mutation?
MJ H No, just like there are different species of squirrels, there are also variety’s of a certain type of squirrel. They can also be dark grey, and white. If you ever see a white squirrel you might want to check the eyes and any exposed undercoat though, they could possibly be an albino and not a variation of grey squirrels at all.
@@pez6684 most squirrels in Canada Re black!
They are literally crashing the party. LOL But I must confess...I adore Squirrels.
Wow,I`ve never seen a black squirrel before!!
They from Detroit
Squirrels are very entertaining, and enjoyed seeing all your birds too!
Gotta love how everyone scatters when these guys show up
Love this!!!!!!! Love that you feed them!!! Love the birds!!!!! Love squirrels!!!!
Scott, you've got some ninja squirrels
thanks for all the birding information
Umbeliveable how they jump. Even, if sometimes it is disaster. They scare all the birds. I enjoy the video.
Thank you so much.
I think this is the initation ceremoni. If he can jump and reach the feeder he is adult. If not, training a week, and try again... 😀Great video, thank you
That's funny!
XD awesome ! These squirrels are daredevils ! ^^'

Do they climb up the wall?

Dem mischievous fricks. I like how they broke the cyan feeder a few times, and also failed some jumps, lol.

haha, they're just havin fun. There's obviously lots of food for them below if they're hungry.

№17 and №18 This is riot!))
WoW, how far did that black squirrel jump 😄😄 Great capture 😚😎
They can jump about 12 ft and will take advantage of any feeder under a tree’s drip line. They’re squirrelly, but very smart.
They have no fear .. they fall off they run back up lol. Spider Man of the animal world :) .
This could be called bird and squirrel watching! 😮
I once had a rain barrel half full of water, and discovered two drowned squirrels, always wondered what ever happened to them when I used the water for my plants.
great Scott, thanks for sharing these , so funny how they jump sometimes so far. you are the best.
I think the squirls are having fun freaking out the birds. They don't really care about the food, they want to scare the birds or see how many times it'll take to break the feeders.
Incoming look out.
I have one that hangs down by his feet and does stomach curls for a seed and repeat!

On the one hand, it's frustrating how they eat the birdseed and scare away the birds, on the other they are kinda cute and you gotta admire their ingenuity.
I just moved the feeder from a nine foot jump that the squirrel made!!

I am amazed at the activity you have on all of your feeders. May I ask you what seed you are using in them all?
Hey Diane, it's a mixture of sunflower kernels, peanuts, nyjer seed, safflower, and suet!
Ever consider putting baffles on the trees?
Yes, I have thought about it, but it would probalby look ugly, and there are so many other trees around that they could just climb those and jump over!
🤩
They say to have 6+ feet distance.
Can we not find some wild birds that attack squirrels. I thought the Blue Jays around my bird feeder would go at the squirrels because they are super feisty. But they just sit in the trees waiting squawking away until squirrels leave.
Hope the Birds don't get hurt.
Obviously, you need to cut two trees down and get rid of that unfortunately placed blue feeder!! LOL. Nope, obviously not. I've got the same problem in South Carolina. I just raise the window and cuss at the squirrels. Well, it works, and nothing else has!!
Funny
Why not give them a feeder there hungry as well as the birds
He does have a two big trays directly below on the ground. He has a separate camera that covers those.
And if you look at the hanging green tray in the back ground, that is filled with sunflower specifically for the squirrels. They have plenty of food to eat.
Squirrel can be little bird feeder terrorists🥴
ngl an no hate
you kinda like Martin Cabello
They eat baby birds too
Air rifle time!
Lo scoiattoli... sono inarrestabili
I guess you're not down with feeding squirrels. Funny how people take care of some.

rats all over your bird seed
