The squirrel's diet is more healthy than mine.
That last squirrel jumping out of the blue, looking at the camera was so funny!😅🤣
They are so cute. They’re like Nope, these are not nuts! Then they give the sad eyes!
Yeah, nothing beats nuts 😊🐿️ 🥜
So the squirrels and the Blue Jays know you have a tender heart. I love them.
Thank you very much for your kind words 😊❤️
Anything new and they always think it's a trap, lol.
Yeah, lol 😄 But it's good to be cautious 😊
They are looking cute when they do nothing but even more so when they show emotions 😅
5 squirrels ;
"We're on strike".
"No to red nuts" !!!
🍅 👐🐿

😄
He dropped those tomatoes on purpose for sure lol
😄
Their individual personalities really show up. Each of them had a different opinion. 😁 They are not so different than us. ❤ 🥰 🤗 💞 Thanks for sharing your kids with us.
Well said! Thank you as well for all your kind and lovely comments 😊❤️
sooo….we didn’t descend from the apes but the squirrels. I’d happily go along with that 😁🐿
@@hermask815 We didn't descend from any animals. We were specially created by God. The similarities just show that we have the same Creator. 😊
Most people pay them no mind but they are quite smart and unique.
@@nohandle4u2see True, squirrels are amazing animals, the more I observe them the more fascinated I am with them. 🐿️❤️
I tried giving my neighborhood squirrels and chipmunks cherry tomatoes too. They were not happy.
Their faces are so expressive 💕
Indeed, thank you for your comment 😊❤️
🍅🐿🧠💭🤔 naaaah, the tomato seems scary 🤣😘🐿❤️❤️❤️
I love going to the park on my lunch break and watching the squirrels. They're so fascinating
Indeed 🐿️ Thank you for your comment 😊❤️
You would be surprised how many people have never taken the time to enjoy nature. Nature is so much more enjoyable than any movie.
My rescue squirrel baby loved tomatoes. A sliced up cherry tomato was probably one of the first solids she ate.
I noticed when squirrels find something good or seem to be enjoying eating something, birds will sometimes land nearby to try to get the leftovers.... sometimes a lot of birds with a few trying to chase off the squirrel to get them to drop it for them. 😂
I've also noticed that birds like to hang around squirrels to see if they can get some of their food, but I haven't seen any birds trying to chase off the squirrels. But the blue-jays are also helping the squirrels with warning them and even chasing away the hawks, so it's good for them to be around each other. 😊🐿️🐦
your precious little chipmunks and squirrels are calming and reassuring to me in a hectic world as human being I live in.
I'm very glad 😊❤️
I loved this! They stare at those large funny looking red nuts, then look at you like you're nuts. Silly little squirrels use the bush like kids in a bouncy castle full of balls, so funny!😂
All my best!😊❤
Lol 😂 Thanks friend, all the best to you too 😊❤️
How can you not love squirrels 🥰❤❤🐿🐿 they are all so cute. Loved the video and the squirrels reactions towards the tomatoes. 😅
Exactly! ❤️🐿️ Thank you you very much for your lovely comment 😊❤️
I had to laugh, how he made it known he did Not approve tomatoes as food, he even knocked the tomato over the edge.There goes a beautiful wasted tomatoe, that Human's could eat. the Squirrel's are so Cute
I feed my squirrels too. They are so sweet and fun to watch.
😄
Squirrels make me happy!❤
I'm very glad 😊❤️
It takes a special degree of trust for a squirrel to come so close to a human being like that.
What do you mean by "a human being like that"?
Looked like at least one of them liked the tomato. Thought the video showed him eating one in the parking lot.
i dont know how anyone could not love a squirrel.?? they are adorbs!
I totally agree 😊❤️🐿️
So funny to watch the reactions and I was really surprised a few squirrels ate the tomato 🍅 They are so funny and very cute 🥰
Thank you for your lovely comment my friend 😊❤️
ROFL 🤣 this is hilarious 😂 Cutie was so bothered and freaked out by them and Bee wanted none of it lol and then the one at the end hanging by there edge and changing her mind after it was tomatoes, at least that's how it looked lol 🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿
ROFL 😂 Good point about the one at the end, that's exactly how it looks, lol 😂🐿️ Thank you so much for your lovely comment 🤗❤️
Squirrelies love my garden's tomatoes! I can't be mad at them when they eat them though they're just hungry and they're too cute
I'm very glad you're sharing the tomatoes with the squirrels, they usually eat them to hydrate.
I know my squirrels go after my neighbor's tomatoes. This was a fun video! Always love seeing your squirrel friends! ❤🐿
Thank you so much, I always appreciate your lovely comments 😊❤️
Sometimes I think squirrels (and birds) go after tomatoes for the moisture when it is hot and dry.
The squirrels are so funny! With their antics and no tomatoes!! Just love watching them figure the tomatoes out and all the energy they have!
I'm very glad you enjoyed it, thank you 😊❤️
Haha no tomatoes 😝 we are very picky 🤣🐿🤗💖
Yes they are 😊🐿️ Thanks friend ❤️
The squirrel's be like, "dude, why are giving us tomatoes !! Are you nuts?! ” 🤣
Lol
Lol, thanks but no thanks. 😅🐿
"Nah, I'm not down with the fruits that pretend to be vegetables. That's sketchy behavior." 😂
Lol 😂
I thought the green bushes were trees which made it look a lot higher and I was scared the squirrel would fall off and tumble 50 feet !
Lol, it's barely 5 feet to the ground, but squirrels can survive falls from very high up.
Thank you for your videos squirrels are amazing animals I feed them in my local park brings me so much joy and relaxation
That's wonderful! Thank you also for your lovely comment 😊❤️
This was too cute!! When I lived in the city, an abandoned bunny showed up in my driveway one day. I took him in to foster him until I could find him a permanent home (as I could not keep him). I quickly learned that one of his favorite foods was tomatoes. He loved them except he never ate the skin. He peeled his tomatoes 😂
Ok, I am ready for part 2. The suspense is killing me! Will they or won’t they eat the tomatoes 👀🍅
Squirrelsare creatures of habit I've learned.
I feed squirrels in the park and they have the same reaction to cherry tomatoes :) There are a few who really enjoy them while the majority it is a pass on tomatoes even if they are supposed to be good for them .
Thank you for sharing this 😊❤️
City squirrels 😊. My sister-in-law planted a small garden of grape tomatoes and some squirrels loved to ransack it, although most preferred seeds from the bird feeder or the peanuts I always left them on my window 😁.
Animals are often more picky eaters than us humans - as long as food supply is ample at least. It's a good survival instinct to have to prefer what you know is safe.
They often need a lot of time to get used to something new they havent eaten before. If you leave one tomato in with the usual food they will figure it out eventually, and just like kids they can suddenly switch completely from skepticism to loving it once they have tried some :P
Adding a little food variety that they cant usually find by themselves is great enrichment I think - as long as you are careful to research that it's safe for them.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and I agree with most of what you said. 😊 I already determined that they love nuts, but I'm trying to see what other foods they may like. Of course I only offer them new foods after I do my research, but I don't want to force it on them. I noticed that if they like it, they'll take it after first or second try. Squirrels are pretty smart and they know what their body needs. Also, they all have different personalities and preferences, so some squirrels may like certain foods and others don't. 🐿️
Never had a problem with gray squirrels stealing my tomatoes. Now chipmunks and groundhogs were a whole other story!
But I hope you're not upset with the chipmunks and groundhogs, you can take it as a compliment, they really liked the tomatoes you grew. 😊
Gourmet squirrels!
Come on Babies, eat your veggies! 😆
I love they all would smell it and then give that face like🤔
😄
So cute. I get a lot of squirrels on my 2nd floor bedroom window sill in the city. Now that I put out treats, the blue jays show up, also.
That's very nice, I'm glad you are taking care of the squirrels and blue-jays in your area. 😊🐿️🐦
@@Squirrels_at_the_window Saw that curious jay watching your squirrel friend eat a tomato!
@@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134 Yeah, they are good friends, I love to watch them eat together. The blue-jays warn the squirrels when there's a hawk in the area, they even chase the hawks away sometimes. 🐿️❤️🐦
@@Squirrels_at_the_window I saw a couple of blue jays and a grackle that was always with them form a phalanx and escort a hawk out of the neighborhood, it was incredible! Blue Jays don't get enough credit for their leadership. I've never seen them "bully" anyone but predators - cats and hawks. Otherwise they wait patiently for smaller birds or a squirrel to finish eating before they take a turn, and always sound the alarm when danger is afoot. They are the ornithological men in blue 💙
Too funny. Mine do the same with new foods. They act like you're trying to poison them. How dare you give me something other than a nut.🤣🤣🤣🤣 you would think they would be happy to try something different. Thet never get tired of nuts. Cute video! 👍🥰🥜🐿
Indeed, nothing beats nuts. Thank you my friend 😊❤️
@@Squirrels_at_the_window I love your little friends and the cute videos 👍👍👍🥰😊
I'm very glad 😊
I think we can all relate to really enjoying some delicious peanuts, cashews or any other nut really! The squirrels know what they like, you've got to give them that 😂
I had a similar reaction the first year my parents added an orange to my Christmas stocking. Looks like you posted this a few months back. Have the squirrels learned to enjoy tomatoes yet? If not, I wonder what would happen if you split the tomato. That way the smell and sweetness would be right on top at the surface.
I love squirrels! Happy to have found your channel.
I'm very glad and welcome! 😊❤️
Very cute and funny!
Thank you 😊❤️
Remy “oh no I don’t know how that fell… leaves “
Lol 😂
My rescued squirrel Mrs Daisy loves tomatoes 🍅 but they have to be the small cherry tomatoes, she also likes her avocados 🥑 but I must say her absolute favorite veggie is (sweet sugar snap peas) she will eat them like she hasn’t eaten in a while, lol 😂 I try to get as much veggies in her as possible because she is an indoor squirrel 🐿 and she definitely needs all the nutrients she can get. I also get her Henry blocks, as well as a couple different supplements that we buy off Amazon, they have all the nutrients that squirrels 🐿 need, unfortunately they are a little on the pricey side, but anything for my spoiled big girl. We also feed the wild squirrels 🐿 in our backyard, they however also don’t like veggies, they just want the good stuff like the peanuts, 🥜 and other mixed nuts 🥜 we have them spoiled as well and they all know where to go for the food!! 😂 Thanks so much for caring for our wild little furry friends!! 🙏😊 They need love too. ❤
Well said and thank you for sharing your story, I enjoyed reading it 😊❤️ It's interesting the different preferences the indoor/pet squirrels have vs. the outdoor/wild squirrels have. So far my wild squirrels don't care for much else besides nuts and few fruits, but I'm going to continue to try new vegetables and fruits to see if they may like/need any, to add to their diet. 🐿️
I hope no one accidentally leave that window open without supervision 😂!
We don't but I would love for all the squirrels to come inside 😊🐿️🏠
Isn't red in nature often a sign of "this is dangerous, don't try to eat!"? I wonder if the color adds to their hesitation.
There may be some truth to this, because once I had a red colored lid on the window sill and they seemed to be scared by it.
Ironically, the squirrels that liked the tomatoes are called "health nuts."
I really enjoyed the different reactions. It’s always fun putting out something new for the squirrels 👍.
True but I only try the foods I think will be healthy for them.😊🐿️ Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️
when we had a vegetable garden the squirrels would only take a bite out of the tomato if they were thirsty
I leave treats out for my local population too.🙂👍
That's very nice, thank you 😊❤️
I feel like they are more willing to eat different things when there isn’t any other choices but if I’m sitting out there with them they won’t take anything else, they just keep looking at me to throw nuts!
That's true, as long as they have nuts, there's not much else they need 😊🐿️ Thanks for your comment my friend ❤️
I have two I named Mike and Frank, yes after the Pickers 😂 Mike chatters to me until I feed them. They will even follow me into my garage to remind me it’s feeding time. ❤️❤️❤️
@@karengossett1475 That's very cute, thank you for sharing this 😊❤️
@@karengossett1475 🤣Isn’t it funny how a little squirrel can be so pushy?😆 They definitely let you know what they want lol!
@@MelGsBackyardSquirreling I had just retired and was spending a lot of time outside on my yard when we became friends. Now they have me where they want me! I just adore them ❤️😂
Reeree popping through the bush 🙂. They will love a tomato if they just give it a try
Some of them did eat the tomatoes 😊🐿️🍅
Very healthy squirrels!
Thank you, they really are 😊🐿️
Aww, not so fussy! Thankyou so much for sharing, ☺☺❤❤🐿🐿
Thank you as well for your comment my friend 😊❤️
😆😁❣ THX 4 SHARING. WAY SO CUTE 🤭❣
Thank you 😊❤️
This is so funny!
Thank you 😊❤️
Grey squirrels used to eat my mom's tomatoes on the vine. She was always complaining about it.
I think is only fair to share our food with animals/wildlife, because we destroyed their habitat when we built our houses.
Nice one
I have similar feelings about eating fruits and vegetables. 😂
😄
it's like they're mortal enemies
Lol 😂
I always feed the squirrels shelled walnuts unsalted they love them I throw them a handful and they sit there and they eat them all once I got one to eat a pumpkin munchkin Donut from Dunkin' Donuts he really liked that LOL me too.
That's very nice, my squirrels love walnuts too, also almonds, peanuts, grapes, cherries and blueberries. 😊🐿️🥜🍇 🍒 🫐 Regarding the donut, is not very healthy for them, so make sure you don't give them very often. Thank you for your comment and for sharing this ❤️
We grew Cherry Tomatoes! The squirrels nibbled on those that were still green!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I Personally Love Tomato, But With Salt. Especially The Kind That Are Green, And Red, That Make Them Kind Of Look Brown.
Tomatoes are supposed to be good for us and the squirrels, but each one of them has their own preferences, just like us. I also like tomatoes 😊🍅
Squirrels : what are these fake nuts? Where's the real food at?!
Lol 😂
The squirrels in my neighborhood don’t care much for tomatoes….but they love apples ♥️
Thank you for your comment ❤️ I've noticed that every squirrel is different and has its own preferences 😊🐿️
@@Squirrels_at_the_window 😊🐿
And peaches
The proximity of the road is freaking me out. I love squirrels and have the privilege to see them and feed them in my garden every day. Sadly, they’re scared of humans.
It's not a road, it's a parking lot.
Guess if all you eat is crunchy salty stuff, something squishy and sour would be weirdly offputting. Can't say I've seen squirrels share before though, that's neat!
Remy.. Is such a smooth operator XO
Indeed 😊🐿️
Were I live - The Isle of Man, In the Irish Sea off The UK - We don't have ANY Squirrels. Actually we don't have quite a lot of other wild animals that are common in the rest of the world ; But I really miss the Squirrels Most!
Love that you can tell who is who....WOW 👏👏👏
Tomatoes,carrots,cirn,grapes,apples....you name it and I tried giving them a variety but no luck; what wins outright are hazelnuts and peanuts in their shells !😊😊😊
These videos are absolutely gorgeous.....thanks.
Yeah, nothing beats nuts, but my squirrels like to eat some fruits like grapes, cherries and blueberries. 🐿️🍇 🍒 🫐 Thank you very much for your kind words 😊❤️
kinda like my kids when they are offered tomato lol
Lol 😂
They act like they're afraid of the tomatoes.
"what's this red lumpy thing"
Can read squirrel thoughts: RED NUTS BAD!!!
"And all the little squirrels in the neighborhood got together to sneak in
THAT house, go under the bed and make poo-poo in a shoe in revenge
for being tricked with tomatoes... The End."
🤣😁😂
ROFL 😂 You have quite an imagination 😊
animal muito lindo Deus abençoe abraço a todos
Thank you, God bless you too 😊❤️
Thanks
The squirrels by my house don’t like tomatoes, unless that’s all you got. They prefer pizza, blueberry pie, sweet potatoes and Mac & cheese.
That sounds like something you may prefer, not the squirrels, lol. If you can, try to feed them healthier food, like unsalted nuts and fruits.
I threw a piece of garlic & coriander Nan bread out and the squirrel wasn't interested. Maybe later it'll have it 😊
Squirrels don't like garlic.
I have the same reaction to tomatoes. Push them off the windowsill
ROFL 😂
They probaly didnt see nothing like that before 😂why they not eating probaly because the color and the shape of them keep up the good work with the videos
Thank you 😊❤️
We raised baby squirrels and they didnt like tomatoes either. Of course they at least tasted them.
Thank you for sharing this 😊❤️
Tomatoes ARE suspicious characters.
Lol 😄
@ 5:09 He/She Looked Like A 🦇 The Way He/She Landed On The Wall.
This is the first video on this channel I'm seeing so my questions are: have you tried a variety of nuts (pecans, walnuts, peanuts, cashews, Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, almonds, etc)? What about cheek storage capacity? Place a fairly sizeable amount of their favorites on the window ledge and see who can pack off the most (don't forget to count them before and after each squirrel arrives).
I tried all the nuts you mentioned and they like all of them, but the ones I feed them the most are almonds, walnuts, peanuts and unshelled (in-shell) dry roasted peanuts. Most of the squirrels can hold 2-3 almonds in their mouth, with the exception of one squirrel called Feefee, who can hold 5-6 almonds. Also I've been trying to see what fruits and vegetables they may like, and so far they like grapes, cherries and blueberries, and they don't like tomatoes avocados, bananas, apples, pears, strawberries, raspberries or carrots. This is as a majority, but each squirrel has its own preferences, so some of them ate some of those fruits and vegetables I mentioned. 😊🐿️
Awwwe!! Great video! Squirrels are sooo darn cute! Do you think he/she was more afraid of the camera, than the tomatoes?
No, most of them are used to the camera.
Being wild, I wonder if their diet reflects the seasons.
That's a good idea, I'll pay more attention to that and maybe make a video about it. 😊🐿️
@@Squirrels_at_the_window Sounds like it would be an interesting video. 🙂
These squirrels won't touch those tomatoes yet when we tried growing tomatoes in my yard the squirrels devoured them
Well you can take it as a compliment, it means that you grew very tasty tomatoes and probably those squirrels needed hydration and antioxidants. I think it's kind but mostly fair to share our food with them since we destroy their habitat to build our houses. 😊🐿️
Tomatoes were a failure with mine. Grapes sometimes pleased.
I've fed cherry tomatoes to these fury guy's before, they seem to enjoy them, some have rejected macadamia nuts, others didn't.......strange beasts...........🥶.......CHILL....
Lol, they are not strange, they just have different personalities with different preferences, like we do. 😊🐿️
Amazing! U can tell their difference name by name. My squirrel love a tomato. Maybe u can give them a half cut too from new fruit / or food. N they can smell the sweet thing from fruit. I usually feed mine, many fruits. 👋🐿️❣️
Thank you 😊 I feed them fruits too, their favorites are grapes, cherries and blueberries 🐿️🍇🍒🫐
:) This must be the reason why we find tomatoes in our garden with only one bite taken from them. :D
Lol 😄 I hope you're not upset with the squirrels about that though. 😊
@@Squirrels_at_the_window :D No. I kind of feel that way about tomatoes myself. >.< To each their own. :)
Lol 😄
