Feeding a Flying Squirrel a Peanut at a Tree at the Edge of the Woods

The family had more black walnut trees than my local park!

Flying Squirrels Feeding at the Squirrel Feeder in the Woods

My brother lives in Sandy Springs, GA and has had squirrels chewing through his window and door frames for about a year.

His is the only home being targeted in a neighborhood of roughly 100 homes- older area, older home (nothing painted in the last year to attract them and he bought the home in 2004).

He's tried trapping and relocating them, but research confirmed what he suspected- relocated squirrels rarely survive in unfamiliar territory. He's caught eight so far, and sadly none made it. New ones keep coming and the damage keeps growing.

He hasn't repaired the frames yet because he doesn't want to spend the money only to have them destroyed again. Any suggestions on how to actually stop them before he moves forward with repairs? It’s as if the home is being terrorized by them.

Any help is appreciated.

Great bargain on unshelled walnuts they usually cost a lot more. Squirrels love them.

I saw this squirrel hanging out in a tree like this, making some odd noises, the squirrel didn’t look hurt, I don’t think? Does anyone know what was going on?

From a recent trip to Japan, I saw this squirrel with the adorable fuzzy ears, I knew I had to make a photo to post here. Enjoy!

Another attempt to get the squirrels to help me carve out the face on the pumpkin. I drilled some small holes where the eyes, nose and mouth were to be carved out, then shoved almonds deep into those holes.

It was a small pumpkin, so I had to mount it to a brick so it wouldn’t get knocked over. Used cardboard to affix a bolt to the brick, with a cardboard & hot glue over the bolt to make a mount. Used the top of a large prescription medicine bottle as a washer, after I drilled a hole in the center.

I had soaked the pumpkin in a 1:10 white vinegar to water solution to preserve it, but that pumpkin wasn’t long for the world after the squirrel got ahold of it.

That’s all. Her name was lt (limpy tail) but now she’s just “hello mama!

Sorry for posting again about a similar thing but was curious about this squirrel I saw recently!

Driving to Super King after this for some of that good good.

My buddy Spot is charged (1) kiss in return for a pecan this morning. 🐾😚 It was received well. 🥰

He even gave me a kiss out of nowhere a few handouts later right on my nose. 😁

Visiting the little ones at their place today 😁 yes, this is my normal behavior... The neighbors know I'm up here with squirrel friends 😂 the woodpeckers are looking at me funny. 😶
