I've learned so many things about squirrels in the past 4 years that it is unbelievable for me how some people could still consider them to be nothign more than a "pest" or "tree rats". Especially the Grey Squirrel, sciurus carolinensis, is highly social, is forming social bonds, and is being observed to do some really impressive, clever, courageous things. And they can get 20 years old, and older. We know of cases were they chosed the best of both worlds, lived free in the wild garden outside, but maintained life-long social relations to "their" humans, contacting them for hours every day, or returning when they were wounded, ill or close to delivering babies, raising them in the protection of the humans' home and care.



Adorable.

Amazing how careful it is. Their teeth are very sharp and they have serious biting power.
Its a sign of social affection.

What a fine gesture

In Germany, a 6 year old boy who loved Motorcycles was diagnosed with cancer. His family posted online asking if someone can ride pass their house to cheer him up. They expected 20-30 people. But in the end, nearly
20,000 bikers showed up.

I'm home now but not good!! a strap from the hospital gown snagged and when I got up it pulled/teared right up length ways of the hernia, now I have a problem urinating with extreme pain!
Hopefully over time it will heal otherwise I'll be back in for another op!! :doh:
Thanks for the support guys! :up:

[Eisenwurst]

Get better Reece mate. We need you round here. I had hernia op 30 years ago, now have mesh reinforcement inside me. Looks a bit strange but is a good conversation starter. :)

[Reece]

Thanks guys for all your kind words, while I'm in bed it is quite bearable but when I get up it goes to about an 8 out of 10. :doh:
Have had no follow up so my wife called the doctor and she had a fit as to how the hospital could release me without a follow up, anyway set to get my stitches/staples out next week. :yep:
Btw, the stitches are about a foot long, and my knob is blue!! :o:haha:

For a week now I've been getting daily morning visits from a female squirrel that has found its way to my 2nd floor (3rd floor in America) loggia/balcony. She was born spring last year, and I gave her the name Kleiner Geist: Little Ghost. She has her drey under the roof two houses north of me, and considering the immense amount of kapok wool she's been collecting in the last few days, I imagine she's getting ready to have offspring.


Who knows, in 3 months she might show off her whole family to me. I would be delighted!



Anyway, at the end of last week I prepared a corner of my loggia in an alarm-starting manner to give her plenty of reasons to keep coming back. Cunning is the Aquarius! His tricks do work. :yeah:



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDL8iAWVkF4


Still many squirrels in the garden, although the reign of the three brothers Kira, Taro and Sari, born in spring 2020, seems to have come to an end. With these three my love journey into squirrels started, and they are and always will be special to me. Sari is assumed dead, and Taro and Kira do not show up often anymore, I miss them, they were so familiar in behaviour and appearance, and so big and strong, and somewhat aristocratic in behaviour, sovereign, present. Kira ruled his kingdom for quite some time. They all three had their fifth birthday this February, so are in their sixth year if they still live, which is very much for wild-living red squirrels. 75% of new-born squqirrles in Germany do not make it to their first winter, not to mention: over the winter, not even one in ten lives until third birthday, not even one in a hundred makes it to fifth birthday. Kept in good care, they could reach 10-11, very rarely up to 12 years.



Beside the three brothers (the "Nutketeers") there are two more residential squirrels since Easter 2023, I call them Stummelchen (it has a very calm and friendly and pacifistic temper and I did not expect it to survive its first year) and "Katze" which was the first confirmed female squirrel I noticed in the garden. Stummelchenm, for some strange reaosns, was NEVEr attacked by any of th eother squirrels,. never chased away, all other suairrels, when they arrived and saw him, imemdiately halted, and then silently, carefull retreated, and that is not becasue he is so strong ajd fearsome, he is exacly the opposite. Its possible that Taro or Kira are his father. Since last year, there also is Kleiner Geist-Little Ghist. Two winters ago, for the core time of the cold over 6-7 weeks, we had many temporary foreign guests who visited from much farther away, I had never seen them before, and not again after this time. I assume they did not find food in their home territories and had to risk these longer trips despite the danger and energy consumption. In these weeks, I served nuts and ice-free water to 11-12 squirrels out there!



In this small regional space, the squirrels are well off, the population seems to do well. I am proud that to a certain degree this is probably also due to my investment. I spend around 700 Euros per year in nuts. Rarely were there closer contacts between me and either Kira or Taro, on a very few occasions they watched me filling the nut buffet in the garden from less than a meter away, on even rarer occasion they took a nut from my hand. I never pressed them to close the gap between them and me if they did not wish to all by themselves. I always allowed them to define terms and conditions of any interaction. The ylearned to not flee in panic when I arrived but won some space to me, but doing so calmly and relaxed.



I just love squirrels! :03:

The squirrel on my balcony - Little Ghost gets overwhelmed by an avalanche of whool: its a KAPPOKK ATTAKK !

She nists under the roof of a house two doors away. I assume she is a girl and possibly becoming a mother because she plunders so much whool recently - the boys are not so meticulous when it comes to making their beds. She was born spring last year.

Its around two weeks now - and Little Ghost has turned into a daily guest, increasingly coming several times over the day. I also seem to be her first stop in the early morning. She also porefer sit uo here to beign at the feeder down in the garden. Maybe because she now is a mom, she avoids any risks.

Its so nice to experience that awild animal - though cautiously - starts to trust you. She knows for sure that I am here. But I avoid anything that could scare her.

She carries the kapok away as if she has not one family to support, but two or three. She certainly has already readied a second drey once the current one where her babies were born has become too dirty. That move usually comes after 5-7 weeks.
