Lately, the squirrels have been noisier when they get fed. I don’t know what they’re saying to each other, but it seems as if they can’t stop talking. Didn’t their mother teach them not to talk with their mouth full? Be sure to have the sound on so you can hear their conversation.
It’s a funny spring this year,
Filberts, there are none, I hear.
Even fir cones haven’t grown,
Unlike other years I’ve known.

How sweet is this! They are chattering like old ladies and this with their full mouth. I love those squirrels.

What happened to being quiet so other animals don’t know you’re around? Hey, call them together. I need to teach them a few tricks of living in the wild.

They do! They like sunflower seeds (always not salted, of course), and when our trees have them, they eat the filberts (none this year) and the walnuts. Besides that they get their own food of fir cones and I’ve even seen them nibble on a dandelion leaf.

Sie sind jung und haben noch viel vor sich, sie müssen reden, damit Mutter ihnen erklärt, wie man am besten an Futter kommt 😍

Thanks, Peter. I get so much enjoyment from watching the squirrels. They get their own food, but the sunflower seeds are a sure thing that gets them through hard times.

While walking my dog, squirrel chatter drives him bonkers. When I played the video with the sound up, my dog started barking!

Ours do that too! I figure it’s a worried chirping that some other squirrel is going to take their food. You got a great recording of the sound. What a riot. Our little outdoor neighbors.

Squirrels are so entertaining as they go about their business. It would be good to know what they are saying. On one of our forest walks, I heard something go whizzing by my ear, then another and another. A squirrel was up in a Tamarack tree chucking down cones and I could swear he was aiming them at me. Happy Tuesday. Allan

Right now it’s the time they are doing that around here too, harvesting fir cones. They loosen them and the cones drop onto the steel roof of our woodshed with a loud bang and bounce to the ground. Then the squirrels retrieve them and hide them all around the woodshed for later in the winter.
