I think about squirrels and how their welfare ALL THE TIME!! People think I'm crazy when I say "oh look how windy it is I hope all the squirrels home are going to be ok." I'm happy to see that I am not the only person who worries and cares about them. Thank you for this great idea. I don't get any squirrels that can come up to my window but I'm going to leave those near were I see them the most!!
I have a type of pet brush that releases the fur in pads. I leave them for the squirrels and birds. They love it. We have a husky, so fur lined nests all around. I do love the nuts in a cotton ball. It's a great idea.
If you have a garden, you can purchase a squirrel feeder then gradually train them to come closer to the window and feed. That’s what my parents have done. Squirrels have now learnt if they knock on the window, they’ll get food 😮
Me too, me too nat369i. I always comment while on walks, about the squirrel or bird nests and worry about them in the rain, cold, wind, sleet and snow etc. And am always amazed at nature and the resilience of all God's creatures that survive yet another winter to visit with us once again.
That's a great sentence for smalltalk, I might use it too 😂 it sounds like a lovely mix of being socially awkward, loving animals and being a bit crazy, but in a nice way
Giving them cotton is a truly beautiful thing! The little ones will have some extra warmth and padding through chilly nights. Bless you for your goodness. 😊😊❤❤
I usually will leave out like an old stuffed pillow, they love grabbing the cotton in those! Great second use for something that would just end up in a landfill ❤
Anybody else love how squirrels do that thing where they hold both little arms up when you talk to ‘em or feed ‘em? It’s like they’re saying “who, me?” 🥹🥹 It’s so sweet, I love all my “pet” squirrels. But if I don’t get their food outside quickly in the AM, my planters get dug through like crazy! 😂
Omg yes! That's exactly what my boyfriend & I say when they do that. "Who, me?" Great minds think alike 😊 I love them so much. They're the cutest. I have several that I leave nuts out for all the time. I told my boyfriend that if we ever find one that's been displaced from their nest, if mama doesn't come for it, we're going to have a pet squirrel & he's perfectly OK with it 🥰
I'm fascinated that they took the cotton balls. Obviously it's some warm extra padding for their beds, but the split-second decision to grab it was so interesting.
I've raised two squirrels from babies. The ones eyes were completely white when her eyes opened. My girlfriend was devastated thinking she was blind. We started feeding her avocados and her eyes miraculously healed.😊
That's amazing, because avocado is toxic to so many animals! I love avocados so much, but have to be very careful that my Cockatiel is not out when I eat anything containing it and I don't put it in scraps that I put out for the feral cat that lives under my porch. (She keeps the mice and rats away.) I guess it's safe for squirrels if it didn't kill your baby!!
Hang in there. In my experience, 4 years after losing my kitty, I still think of her every day and miss her, but it stopped hurting a good while back. The memories are a gift that you get to keep. 💙🐾🐾
My husband and I are known as the "chipmunk whisperers." After we'd fed a number of chipmunks on a vacation, chipmunks began showing up to us--asking for food--everywhere else we went. It was bonkers. I even had one semi-tame one come right up to me, as I stood in a parking lot, and placed his (or her) foot on mine, looking for food.
I'm bedstruck and haven't been outside in quite awhile... Thank you for bringing nature and so much love into our homes! The squirrels are lovely! - and so are you, for noticing, caring and sharing ❤
Oh my gosh!!! I can't believe how incredibly sweet and thoughtful this is!! You really are their fairy squirrel mother/protector! Such a kind and sweet soul all around with everything!!! Hugs to you, your beautiful cat and amazing squirrels!!! ❤🐾🐿❤🐾🐈🐾❤👩🐾❤
I feed them year round. Never thought about cotton balls. Great idea. I'll do the same. I have one squirrel who takes peanuts out of my hand ❤. Thanks for your kindness .
About a year ago I had 2 squirrels start coming to my house and I started feeding them. I called them Bonnie and Clyde. Now I have so many I can't tell them apart anymore. I love feeding them. I never thought about giving them cotton balls. I'm going to d that tomorrow it has been really cold in baltimore.
I was sad when I heard about it. Rest in peace peanut 🥜 💗🐿️ all animals should have rights. Good people have our eyes and ears open for these types of things. And it's not forgotten.
I love the cotton balls. I knit and I leave bits of wool or cotton yarn on the trees for the birds as they make their nests. Not acrylic because it doesn’t disintegrate. But I bet cotton balls would be welcome as well. 😊
What a sweet idea. I'm picturing the ones that took the cotton resting their heads on a soft pillow tonight. Thank you for sharing your little ones with us. R.I.P. P'Nut ❤
Oh wow, I didn't even think about the cotton! That's very thoughtful and the squirrels seemed to love it. Also lovely to see Mighty take after his mama, he's so smart brave, even took empty cotton that she had left! Thank you for helping them ❤
Today I just happened to watch a video unaware it was going to end up very , very disturbing. I spent the entire day thinking how I was going to erase forever from my brain the short glimpse I had . I could not just un- seeing it....until I saw this amazing , inspiring random video that just popped up and the impact it had just erased that uncomfortable moment from this morning. These little fellas are so intelligent and the labor of love from this lady makes her an outstanding role model. Gratitude OP
I chuckled from the cute way Cutie felt of the cotton when she first took it. It’s as if you could see her thinking…hmmm, whats this. Lol..Your squirrels are so spoiled. There is a verse in the Bible that says that even the animals of the righteous are blessed. (Proverbs 12:10). Your babies and Kiara are certainly blessed❤❤❤
I actually made a shirt with Proverbs 12:10, and the first part of the scripture is "Good people take care of their animals". If you are interested, you can find the link for the merchandise in the description.
Remember, if you put out nesting material for the wildlings: only use natural fibers like 100% cotton, wool, or (in our case) llama fiber. 🐑🦙🐐🐕🐈⬛🐇 Synthetics can wreak havoc on our little friends’ digestion if they happen to swallow it, and some form long, tough strands that can entrap them or cut off circulation to an extremity.
@@ominous27 Yes! And cat hair is very warm. I met a spinner who tried making mittens from her cat’s hair. She said they were pretty, but made her hands sweat!
Ok I officially envy You all the lovely squirrels You've been blessed with. I was a caretaker for a couple of lovely asian redbellied squirrels for nearly 10 years, and I really enjoyed it
These videos make me cry because I have outside squirrels I help out too and so many people just... aren't like that. I love my squirrel buddies though ❤
Thank you so much for this brilliant idea! I’ll put little cotton balls in their feeding house! They’ve been storing like nuts! 😉 They’ll stop in to to eat the walnuts and pecans, but make trip after trip for the peanuts. Then they lay down for a rest on the branches. 😊
I love the cotton ball idea. I am in so California and we have squirrels that visit our yard daily. Although it's not super cold at night, I still think they would love the cotton for their nest. I know I would LOL.
You’re truly an amazing person for showing such compassion for these animals. God bless you and may God grace you and your family great health and prosperity.

I truly enjoyed watching!! I had a young rescue squirrel during covid. He was def one of my favorite pets. He was released long ago and I still miss my little guy. 💜
Thanks for helping the squirrels out so much. I love squirrels too and buy nuts without shells from Dollar Tree for them. I think they have the cutest personalities. 🌰🥜
Wow thank you so much for your helping hints. We have squirrels that weve rescued and released and your cotton balls is just what the doctor ordered,also just fine for warming up hummingbird nests during rain and before going into stasis to regain strength for their long journey ahead to be there till next year. Thank you 😊
A squirrel with a beard, lol lol, thank you for the idea of cotton balls, that was one of the funniest things I seen, can't stop laughing, thank you, bless you.

Anyone else thought this was some kind of nut sushi?
I thought maybe coconut 🥥😂
I definitely thought the nuts were wrapped in sticky rice 😂
Idk why, but i did think it was crisco...
🐿🍣
🙋♀️ me
Cutie always demanding stuff from the secret menu
The V.I.P. menu. ;)
😂😂😂😂😂💙
😁
😂😂 exactly
I like how 🐿️he peeked in the window 🪟like “ you got something else in there” 🧐 or he was like “ hmm nice place you have here” 😄
😂😂
So true, it's hilarious! 😂🎉
Indeed 😂😂😂😂 Cutie is a very special squirrel ❤❤❤❤
So sweet lol ... they're getting more comfortable. 😄
I'm thinking nice place...😂
When they get stuff they're all excited like they won the lottery. Such a great idea.
In squirrel world they did win the lottery
Well it's the squirrel equivalent of getting a free bag of groceries and nice comfy pillow 😊

There were a group of squirrel watchers in York UK. They had notebooks with stats on each squirrel and what nuts they had eaten
That's a great sentence for smalltalk, I might use it too 😂 it sounds like a lovely mix of being socially awkward, loving animals and being a bit crazy, but in a nice way
Giving them cotton is a truly beautiful thing! The little ones will have some extra warmth and padding through chilly nights. Bless you for your goodness. 😊😊❤❤
Right ✅!! And they can construct their dress even faster!!😃
@@sheilayoung9082 lol! This was so wholesome 😂❤
We don't have squirrels in Australia. It's strange to see them so prevalent in the States. Cute lil' suckers
I usually will leave out like an old stuffed pillow, they love grabbing the cotton in those! Great second use for something that would just end up in a landfill ❤
@megan2878 We have lots in the UK too 😊
Thanks! I now know a treetop squirrel nest is called a drey. 💜💜💜
Ditto.
Thanks for the information, 😉I didn’t know 👍🏻🫶🏻❤️🐿️
I’ve joyfully found the most peaceful place on YT.
THIS. ❤️💞🐿️💞❤️
right! how lucky are we! so sweet😍
It balances out my police cam channels and crime story channels indeed.
Awwww that’s so sweet🥹

@katbird5775 I know we did some research first because Avocado is good for eye health. Maybe it was just a little miracle.
Cutie, "LOOK everyone.....HEAVENLY nuts....they are floating on CLOUDS!!!!" hehehe
😄
I feed the squirrels and birds, as well, but had no idea they would take cotton balls! Thank you for sharing your lovely videos! :-)
I had no idea about the cotton I will give it to my squirrels THANK You
I got a tear in my eye when I saw "Joey". That was my dog's name, who passed away last year. I miss him every single day. ❤
Hang in there. In my experience, 4 years after losing my kitty, I still think of her every day and miss her, but it stopped hurting a good while back. The memories are a gift that you get to keep. 💙🐾🐾
And me, it was my kangaroos name.
🥰
I still miss my husky even after 15 years. I hope your Joey comes and visits you in your dreams, that's always a very special night :)
😢So very sorry for your great loss.❤
How sweet. My Mom used to call me the “squirrel whisperer.” Looks like I’ve found a kindred spirit. 🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️
My husband and I are known as the "chipmunk whisperers." After we'd fed a number of chipmunks on a vacation, chipmunks began showing up to us--asking for food--everywhere else we went.

@ Love this story! 💞
Im obsessed with squirls aswell. They are such interesting people.
🤣
Thanks you for a very pleasant break every now & then.
Thank you very much for your kind gift 😊❤️
I'm bedstruck and haven't been outside in quite awhile... Thank you for bringing nature and so much love into our homes! The squirrels are lovely! - and so are you, for noticing, caring and sharing ❤
Wonderful care packages, you are such a special lady.
You are very kind, thank you 😊❤️
Mighty is just as brave as his special Mama. The kits looked great & I'm sure the extra cotton will help line their nests.
Oh my gosh!!! I can't believe how incredibly sweet and thoughtful this is!! You really are their fairy squirrel mother/protector! Such a kind and sweet soul all around with everything!!! Hugs to you, your beautiful cat and amazing squirrels!!! ❤🐾🐿❤🐾🐈🐾❤👩🐾❤

After a long day at work, sitting down to watch your squirrel videos is just the balm I need for my soul. Thank you for sharing them!
I'm very glad 😊❤️
Neat idea w/ the cotton. My squirrels just rip open my outdoor toss pillows I have in the chairs, & use that as their bedding. ;)
I like that you seem rather calm about losing your outdoor toss pillows to the squirrels. 😁 I also very much like your TH-cam handle.
You are a kind, thoughtful person... Thank you for sharing this glimpse with the squirrels.
Thank you for your kind words 😊❤️
I soooo agree!!! ❤️
4:23 ode to little Peanut. May he r.i.p. ❤
I was sad when I heard about it. Rest in peace peanut 🥜 💗🐿️ all animals should have rights. Good people have our eyes and ears open for these types of things. And it's not forgotten.
Oh no, what happened? 😢
@@pretzel2272 It was from a different channel with a pet squirrel. It was confiscated and euthanized. Sad story this week in the news.
@@debm8470 Thank you for the information. That's really not fair 😔.
I heard a little bit about what happened to Peanut, I can't bear to hear the whole story in detail. It makes me so angry and extremely sad.
Spoiled babies! ❤😂 God bless you!
I love the cotton balls. I knit and I leave bits of wool or cotton yarn on the trees for the birds as they make their nests. Not acrylic because it doesn’t disintegrate. But I bet cotton balls would be welcome as well. 😊
I do the bits of wool as well and we found a discarded nest one year with my wool bits wound into it. Best feeling ever
What a sweet idea. I'm picturing the ones that took the cotton resting their heads on a soft pillow tonight. Thank you for sharing your little ones with us.
R.I.P. P'Nut ❤
As always, Cutie has standards. Not any old nut will do! She’s such a little queen! 😍

Also lovely to see Mighty take after his mama, he's so smart brave, even took empty cotton that she had left! Thank you for helping them ❤

I can’t wait to have a place of my own where I can feed all the animals 😢❤ I just wanna scatter all kinds of treats around the yard
Thanks!

We have 2 huge trees in our backyard - one oak tree & one pine tree. Needless to say, we have a pretty big squirrel & bird population back there. I alternate putting out different raw, unshelled nuts for them, especially during the winter months. I never thought of putting out cotton balls for them. Thanks so much for the tip!

Thanks for helping them out!!! Keep up the great work.
Aww. You're the best squirrel mom ever! 😍
Love squirrels.
I absolutely adore those that care for others (even animals ) and do something so sweet & mindful 🌹
Squirrels are absolutely beautiful ❤
this is a great idea to help those babies store up for the winter 💙💙
Sweetest video. Oh my. Their eyes.

Thanks for being a rando buddy to little creatures.
I truly enjoyed watching!! I had a young rescue squirrel during covid. He was def one of my favorite pets. He was released long ago and I still miss my little guy. 💜
Made my day.
