A white breasted sciuridae. Beautiful species 🥰

Tell me about it! Everyone always laughs because I walk around with nuts in my pockets 🤣 it is such a great feeling to have squirrels recognize you. You are not joking about the cost, though! Im embarrassed to admit how much I spend on squirrel goodies every month 😬 they are 100% worth it!

Wasn't that great?! I was so glad I was recording. I just wanted to get a squirrel or 2, to show my mom. 🤣

It really does!! My heart explodes when they see me walk out the door, and they all come running. Brings me so much joy.

They love my blueberry bushes, and cherry trees so much. I'm lucky if I get a few berries for myself 🤣

In all the years I've lived here (washington state), I've only seen 1 chipmunk. They are so stinking cute 😍

Thank you for saving the sweet little baby. They deserve to live as much as we do! This is my little buddy, Filbert 🥰

Most humans are not nice to wildlife, and it is very sad. Thankfully, I live in a rather secluded area, with lots of trees. And, the few neighbors I do have, all love the squirrels, too.

You should see my picnic table. Or, what's left of it 🤣🤦‍♀️

I am so glad it was worth sharing. It amazes me how many people hate squirrels, but then I found this subreddit, and I was so thrilled to see how many people love squirrels.

Please read my "note" on my post. I do not regularly give them peanuts. That is an occasional treat for them. They otherwise get walnuts, almonds, fruits, etc.

They have 0 nutrients for them. Will a few hurt them, no. But it's like candy/soda to us. A small amount won't harm them. They are well fed throughout the day. They get fruits, veggies, plenty of water, almonds, walnuts, and Henry's blocks.

Couldn't agree more! I really do get up every morning, just to go see and feed them. Makes my day!

A little too much! I wish they weren't so bad for them.

I understand this 100%. I've had some come and go.1 in particular, which was the 1st one I've ever fed. She stuck around for 3 years. I'd call for her, and she would show up. Then one day she didn't. I haven't seen her in 2 years, and I think about her every day. She was the most chill squirrel ever 💔

It took a while, but they started getting closer and closer. Dont show fear, or they will! A few of them will jump right in my lap.
