- Over the last few months, I have been collecting clips whenever a squirrel was caught leaping from the trees onto my bird feeders.
In this video, you will see 31 squirrel jumps. Some are much more graceful than others, but they all provide a lot of entertainment.
These jumping squirrels were videotaped from my live bird feeder cam. The black squirrels are my favorite.
SUPPORT Bird Watching HQ by shopping my favorite bird feeders, squirrel-proof items, books, etc at my Amazon store! geni.us/bwhqstore 😀

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!🥰👍❤️❤️
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!
There are only 2 constants in life.
Squirrels getting into bird feeders, and humans who think that they can stop the first constant.
Amazing little guys. Such agility!
Squirrels are so smart!
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!
Gotta love how everyone scatters when these guys show up
Scott, you've got some ninja squirrels
thanks for all the birding information
gotta love squirrels! one of natures acrobats. wish we had more around us.
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.
@@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)
Wow,I`ve never seen a black squirrel before!!
They from Detroit
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!

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!
haha, they're just havin fun. There's obviously lots of food for them below if they're hungry.
number 16 was impressive
Dem mischievous fricks. I like how they broke the cyan feeder a few times, and also failed some jumps, lol.
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
Rofl 🤣 Holy marauding squirrys 🐿 Batman 💥 😜! Messin w the fine furniture. Distance is deceiving w the cam eh. Lv #18, overshot the runway. Thx Scott 🤣🐦
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! 🙏🏻
Do they climb up the wall?
@@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.
Ninja squirrels!!! 🥷😳🥷
Love this!!!!!!! Love that you feed them!!! Love the birds!!!!! Love squirrels!!!!
Squirrels are very entertaining, and enjoyed seeing all your birds too!
Umbeliveable how they jump. Even, if sometimes it is disaster. They scare all the birds. I enjoy the video.
Thank you so much.
They are literally crashing the party. LOL But I must confess...I adore Squirrels.
thanks for the vid... the Canadian judge give #26-30 top marks for sticking the landing on the green metallic feeder. Used your footage to place my solo feeder just far enough away so its a 4-5 ft horizontal jump to a steel 8 x 8 in flat roof on a feeder. My fav squirrel shows up around 09:30 daily, and was able to pry the flat roof off... after she defeated the slinky on the 1 in rebar. Love challenging the little buggers. Amazing beasts, surely. How can something that weighs less than my brain be so able?
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.
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.🌻😁⭐️🥇🇺🇸
That was hilarious!
They have no fear .. they fall off they run back up lol. Spider Man of the animal world :) .
WoW, how far did that black squirrel jump 😄😄 Great capture 😚😎
They never give up 😂
XD awesome ! These squirrels are daredevils ! ^^'
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.
Incoming look out.
This could be called bird and squirrel watching! 😮
Very good video.
Thanks!
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!
№17 and №18 This is riot!))
Thanks Scott!!great vid!!
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.
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. :(
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!
lol 🤣 🥜🐿🥜🐿🥜🐿
I just moved the feeder from a nine foot jump that the squirrel made!!
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.
great Scott, thanks for sharing these , so funny how they jump sometimes so far. you are the best.
🤩
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.
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.
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.
@@BirdWatchingHQ okay thank you very much it helped me make up my mind. 😁👍
Funny
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!
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!!
I have one that hangs down by his feet and does stomach curls for a seed and repeat!
They say to have 6+ feet distance.
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!
ngl an no hate
you kinda like Martin Cabello
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
Hope the Birds don't get hurt.
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.
Squirrel can be little bird feeder terrorists🥴
They eat baby birds too
Air rifle time!
Lo scoiattoli... sono inarrestabili
rats all over your bird seed
Ok
I guess you're not down with feeding squirrels. Funny how people take care of some.
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.
