      I love them too but i just bought a small game license to reduce their population where i live in Washington state. The eastern gray is invasive and completely destroying the Douglass squirrel population here. They are incredibly racist lol.

      How do you know the busy one was the male? I’m honestly asking because I was wondering if it was a male and female or two females since I have seen other houses with sisters in it only because they use each others heat in winter so buddy up but not necessarily for raising family. I though probably a couple too but was thinking the one all excited and eager to decorate was the female because wives get excited, want to decorate and make it “homey” where the men are usually more laid back. They are obviously squirrels not humans but it was super weird that only one squirrel did everything while the other was just sitting there, not even being a lookout or anything, almost like it was falling asleep lol

    I’m a huge cat & dog lover but also every since I was a kid I’ve loved rabbits, marmots, otters, beavers, chipmunks & squirrels. When I was a little kid My Mom always fed the birds & squirrels in our yard so I became very fond of squirrels & they are nostalgic to me due to those memories. They are adorable & quite smart & very industrious little buggers. Watching them is actually relaxing & their little quirks are funny. Glad these guys have a nice little apartment now that keeps them warm & safe.

    It’s funny how the one squirrel is just sitting there almost looks like it’s sleeping while the other squirrel is super active and excited to decorate and get things done. Not sure if it’s a mates pair or just friends but it reminds me of how human couples are when they move into a new home. The man is usually laid back but the wife is eager to decorate and busy planning how to renovate and make the place seem “homey”. The busy squirrel would be the wife in this scenerio

    Thank you so much for this video years ago I lived in Seaback, Washington and I built a squirrel house for the red squirrel that lived in the fir tree next to our house and when we opened it that little squirrel had filled the whole thing tight with the moss that grows on those trees up there And he had made a tunnel to sleep in. I'm sure he was toasty warm all winter, but that was before the days of trail cams or GoPro.

    The babies came down from the nest in the oak tree outside my house on June 2. Pandemonium as they chased each other around for four hours, then all went on their way. It happens that way every year. Last year one stopped to press its face up against the window to look at me. This year, one of the babies has a bright red tail.
