Silly Squirrel
Hey mister, 
you got any more of those
unsalted sunflower seeds?
My doctor says
I need to watch my
sodium intake.
Silly squirrel, those seeds
are for the birds
the nuthatches
finches
stellar jays
wrens
townsend’s warblers.
What? There’s enough
so they can share.

Haha. I love this. We have peanut shells all over the garden from a certain squirrel who like to use our drain as a bin. I think he only does it to wind up my husband.
They can be quite mischievous like that.
The squirrels always find ways of getting to the birdseed…
That is a great photo and you can almost hear the squirrel talking.
Thanks. My husband took the picture. Our squirrels are very bold.
I have a love/hate relationship with them! They are so darn cute but they clean out my feeders way to fast!
Get a squirrel proof feeder. When they get on it their weight pulls it closed. They work great.
I have one but they always have figured out a way to hold onto the pole so their weight doesn’t close the doors. Now, all my feeders are on my clothesline which I keep slack enough for them to wobble off if they try. Good luck if I ever want to hang laundry out again! It will probably have bird poop all over it whilst looking for their missing feeders!

Okay….you made me smile. I’m thinking of our days in Iowa many many years ago when we had to try and outsmart the squirrels with our bird feeder. I think we finally went to our vet and bought one of those plastic cones you put on your dog so they don’t scratch their face….greased it up and somehow connected it to the pole….the squirrels slid right down but when the grease wore off, we had to go out a vaseline it again! 🙂
Thanks for the silly memories! 🙂
That’s hilarious. My husband hung a flat square feeder from a line this year and put seed in it for the birds. He created an obstacle course of wires on both sides of the feeder to keep the squirrels out, but they just navigated the obstacle course like pros. It’s nice that now there are the squirrel proof feeders that close from the weight of a squirrel so they can’t get all the seed.
Adorable. I live in the desert, so no squirrels here. Appreciate the photo.
I suppose you have lizards though, and they are cute in their own way. 🙂
I have those same seed stealing squirrels at my house 😂
They are cute though.
What a squirrely notion!
I like how the squirrel is watching his diet.
😁
Squirrels always insist that birds share the seeds! Cute photo too 🙂
My husband took the photo, but our squirrels are pretty bold so it’s not hard to snap a pic.
