Squirrels A Mission Impossible !

- Many years ago my father tried and failed to feed birds but not squirrels. His attempts were pretty clever (he was a designer) but he always fell short and the tree-rats feed on his nuts.
When he passed away I had a go, like a tribute....what you see here, apart from dizzy, sick squirrels starts at phase ten (yes 10) and after 3 months of trying I resorted to a 7-iron and a personal attack.....and yes the squirrels at my nuts! - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
The guy running at the end made me laugh so hard. Only because his frustration and anger of defeat finally got the best of him... cant blame him, these squirrels are smart.
I think the music encourages him...
🤣
lol
😝😁
BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Two years later, this comment still holds up well.
You gotta give the little guy credit, he's strong ¬ a quiter!!!;)
It's spelled q-u-i-t-t-e-r, doofus!
My old boss did this, he loved seeing how they would overcome the challenge and in turn challenged him to come up with new pieces to add. His whole backyard was a proving ground for this.
That is halarious! Those crazy squirrels do not give up.
It's beautiful!!

“Give up” isn’t an option
It’s “try or die”
That’s nature
Mr Innkeeper, please don’t be angry with the squirrel for outsmarting you, give him some credit. Lol 😂👍
Thanks
That squirrel's like..."What else you got!?" HA!!!
Cracking soundtrack to a hilarious video. Better than watching Tom Cruise any day.
This squirrel is teaching a very valuable lesson: "Persistence is the key to success"
Sometimes it's hard to admit it but life really isn't that much worse after being outsmarted by a squirrel.
I’m always pulling for squirrel
Moose can fend for itself
iq of a squirrel... 10 million
Booh dont chase the squirell off when it finally made the track! Deserved the reward not some angry baboon coming after it
Damn true.
I don’t think the birds even get a chance to eat. Too much going on.
It is nearly impossible to deter a squirrel. They learn from failures and mistakes. They size up traps -defenses and how to outwit them. Squirrels are survivors.
Oh
Yep, they’ll learn to run up snatch traps, no pussy will deter them. No good using a cat. Meeow ☺️
issa rat
They are til they meet up with Chris Notap from UA-cam. He has them outsmarted everytime.
The Mission Impossible theme playing in the background was funny as hell 🤣👍
gotta hand it to the little critter - he is persistant!
Dirk Baeuerle squirrels are relentless!! they don't give up!! trust me you will give in before a squirrel gives up!!
Lmao
He just kept trying, but the squirrels beat him!
Well, it is a rat of sorts.
Well it's free so what is it that you chased him out you could of let him feed a bit don't you think that he deserves a good feeding after he's been troubled to get his reward
🤣😂😂 I started dying as soon as the squirrel made his dramatic ass entrance onto the wire. A part of me thinks the squirrels might take enjoyment climbing your obstacles.
Absolutely right 👍💯
That was hilarious. That squirrel definitely was determined. What a smart Little Critter. I would love to have him in my yard. You should set up his own little Feeder because he really deserves it for all what he goes through just to get that little bit of seed.
My old friend Noah Touchton would have loved watching this. He was always coming up with a new angle to battle squirrels.
Mad Innkeeper part had me dying laughing. Wonderful video.
He defeated all your contraptions! Amazing squirrels! LOL!
Smart squirrel, life lesson:- 'Don't give up on your dreams"
Look up cross examined
That squirrel is a master on 'if at first you don't succeed, try again and again'. LOL.
Those squirrels are smart and determined! They just don't give up!
For Sure!
I rescued a baby squirrel last spring. I have a new appreciation for the rodents. She had as much personality as any dog I've had. I reintroduced her to the wild within a few months, she still remembers and visits me
I’ve been a Squirrel Mom twice. I adore them.
@@CobraDove1111 oh they're awesome, they live 15-20 years (natural life) and they def remember their "people" 🥰
Yeah we have one who revisits our garden every year and barks at my wife when she is planting our garden. It thinks we are digging up its buried nut stash. It is going to be really mad this year. We covered the entire back yard with woven weed barrier so we don't have to weed so much.
@@robinsommerhauser4256 Squirrel: Ha weed barrier, is that all you got 🐿
Nothing but tree rats that will get in your attic, chew on electrical wires and start fires! That’s why I have a .177 pellet rifle.
This mission, if you choose to accept it...
the feeder will self destruct in 10 seconds
Squirrel: I see this as an absolute win!
Good example how to keep moving forward in life. Never give up!
Squirrels are cute until they get into your attic, where they can chew on your house wiring and cause a fire.
Thanks for the positive motivation.
The movie _Young Einstein_ shows young Albert growing up on the family farm in Tasmania. One day, Albert noticed his dad was very busy doing something. "What are you doing dad?" "I'm going to flood this valley son." "But dad. That will drown all the little animals." "Yes son. In one go."
I really like Einstein's father. Squirrels are vermin. They chew things and cause huge damage. I'm going to have to replace the back window on my house. They carry fleas, ticks, and bot flies. They carry viruses and bacteria transmissible to humans. Vermin. They deserve to be killed.
@Rick E.S. 😂😂😂
@@puppetsock The vibes you sow are the vibes you reap.The only exception is covid-19.
puppetsock Ah yes, such great logic. We, as a species, also cause a lot of damage (if not more) to other animals, carry bugs, and carry bacteria, viruses, and diseases, which are transmissible, not only to other species, but *gasp* also to other humans! Does that mean we deserve to be killed too? And that just about every other animal does as well?
For one thing, other species do not need our “approval” in order to survive. Nonetheless, squirrels play a vital role in forest regeneration and seed dispersal, so they help maintain a healthy ecosystem, and we need a healthy ecosystem in order to survive, as it supports the environment we live in. Love them or hate them, other species have just as much of a “right” to exist as we do, and history shows us what happens when we try to “play God”, as some say, and attempt to wipe out species (I highly recommend looking up the Indian vulture crisis and its consequences, a great example of what happens when a species rapidly vanishes across its range. The poisoning was not intentional in it, but the consequences of this event do show how drastic wiping out an ecologically important native species can be for the environment. Vultures are keystone species, and they are extremely important in maintaining healthy ecosystems). If you wish to discourage squirrels or “control” their populations near you, I recommend putting up nesting boxes for owls, playing audio of predator sounds every now and then, and sealing off all possible entrances into your house.
*NOBODY* can ever stop a squirrel on a mission.😂😂😂
That Squirrel deserves some reward for going threw all that work!!!!!!!!
At the end I can relate. they do piss ya off. lol
The squirrel have definitely deserved that food after that agility display.
Let the little hard working sweetie have what it so courageously earned!!
That would be great if they ate a few pieces and left, but the little twerps eat EVERYTHING, and even chewed at the ports for the seeds.
@Mostly everything Sucks We feed the squirrels peanuts and then they try to take the bird feeders completely over. I don’t think yo realize just how bad they are.
No. They eat everything in site.
One squirrel will empty a feeder that would otherwise service dozens of birds of many species for hours or days. The squirrels are very aggressive with birds (the innkeeper’s FRIENDS, for whom he goes to trouble and expense to attract to his feeders). It is like “Why not just give the crack gangs enough money for their stuff, and they’ll leave you alone.” You wanna try that, don’t be being NEAR to me. Squirrels and crack gangs be WAITING IN LINE.
“Those house invaders had such a brilliant plan, they should get away with all the murders and everything.”
@@TampaDave perfectly stated! I absolutely agree with you!
I'd just give this squirrel everything it wants after such an impressive stunt
After so much struggle, it should have got the reward .
Loved this. :) If we could get our kids to be this persistent, we'd never have high school dropouts.
Yeah, but as they are not hungry enough,,, they'll never get this determined !
Squirrel out engineered the engineer. Inkeeper should have conceeded let squirrel have his winnings.
Sounds similar to news everyday
That was funny as hell especially at the end...lol
Omg its 1 am i woke my husband and kids bursting out with laughter when the guy ran after the freaking squirrel im still crying dude omg best video ever!
I am eating currently at a restaurant and started laughing too when I saw him lol
@@ssj2camaro21 who watches youtube in a restaurant?
@@tfGypsyKing people whith unlimited data
FuX - but it’s a restaurant you’re supposed to be concentrating on the food lol. Unless it’s something like a “McDonald’s restaurant”
@@luisgutierrez8047 trailer park people lol
"One day squirrels will rule the Earth!"
- Aldo Squirrel
Solution:
One metal pole
One metal cone under the pole, wide skirt side facing down (pole goes through cone opening)
One metal cone above the pole. make sure it wide enough to cover feeder, not wide enough to stand/crawl on (so use a cylinder feeder) so 45 degrees or more
Oil up the top metal cone and bottom.
Thats it!
And a slinky!!!!
Then make sure it’s not near any tree branches so they can jump straight onto it?
Solution: shotgun ? 🤷🏻♂️
Best video, I've seen so far!! The music is just the cherry on the top!
The squirrels initial leap when he begins the obstacle course has me dying
You said it! It's worth watching just to see him or her fly in for a rough landing! 🤣🤣🤣
I have to confess that I laugh my teeth off when the mad innkeeper showed up because I'm also one.
May your father rest in peace. He would be very proud. ♥ Much love and Happy Easter.
Love the soundtrack....such determination...lmao....gotta respect the I WILL SUCCEED attitude.
Just feed the freaking squirrel too... and those spikes look dangerous. Real nice...
You ever bought a squirrel feeder? The diameters different
Humans are so mean to squirrels. They are hungry, too. Good for them should be put out out, too. My bird visitors and squirrels share and it is darling to watch them.
I had one squirrel show up.within a week there were 7. No thanks. They spread the news!!!!
Yes.if you ever saw a squirrel in the middle of the road not knowing which way to go when you approach in a car,well one actually got inside of my glass bird feeder with a lift up metal top and he about killed himself trying to get out when he saw mei laughed him all the way across the yard.
I feed squirrels specifically, theyre awesome
I think this video is hysterical
Love the music!!! Perfect for the ocassion
I wish I had UA-cam 30 years ago. When I lived in NJ, I matched wits with Squirrels for years, trying everything from flying saucer top, greasing the pole, etc. These bastards figured out every obstacle and drove me out of my mind. I live in AZ and I am so glad I do not have to match wits with these bastards anymore.
Only mad because his design was a fail!
Boy that's one persistent squirrel.
I'm so glad people are willing to devote so much time & energy for my squirrel-hating pleasure.
...the epic battle between a man's birdfeeder and the extremely tenacious squirrels...
A lovely clip and by now, a classic.
Persistent squirrel, but the disks are not smooth. The holes give it grip, the wood itself gives grip, and the spikes work like handles.
Use smooth waxed disks with rounded edges, they use the same for rats on ship ropes.
+Robin Campfens Use sharpened aluminum discs. If they try to get a grip, they'll get cut
+Lindsey Bennik Well personally, I figure it will work best because they wont come back. But if you're someone who has more empathy for animals, you could use a dull disc covered in WD-40.
+Tiaan Fourie Its a wild animal. People keep saying that if the squirrel is smart enough to get past the trap, then it deserves to eat the rewards. If its about who is smarter, then clearly a sharpened disc wins that argument.
Exactly.
Those nails and holes you put on the disc' are just handles for the squirrel to grab onto.
Yep, need 120 volt potential between every other one!
Because 80% of humans are basically morons and squirrels are brilliant.
Yeah it would work better with no holes and no nails. Just use a wider circular board, and make sure it's smooth so the squirrel can't get a good grip with his little claws.
The squirrel seems to really enjoy the challenge 😁😁
Man I’d be glued to the window all damn day if I had this. 😂
A question on the design here. Why does the inner wheel have holes in it? Seems the fuzzy little ninja is going to make use of them.
Jeff Drake the fuzzy ninja did make use of them. Lol
i suspect we are getting a petty view about what actually went on. Looks like the designer only wanted to showcase and entertain not stop the squirrel completely. That's what these holes tell me.
Jeff Drake - the holes are for the wind to pass through.
I'm in NZ, are squirrels protected? Why not just shoot the little tree rats.
@@donreeves977 Don't waste bullets and it's just really overkill, to be honest.
Once he got through the traps, no human should have the right to intervene! He won it fair and square!!!
+Sudaraka MallawaArachchi Totally agree. He is so pathetic. Chasing after it in the end. What a looser.
+Sudaraka MallawaArachchi You're right, that's when I get the 22 rifle. I get more squirrel gravy this way.
+Sudaraka MallawaArachchi Not really. That is even the WHOLE POINT OF THIS!!! This isnt a challenge for the squirrel to pass and get a reward you dummy. He built it to keep them away. I would chase them off too. Its sad to see people backing up vermin.
+Olde Basstard so what makes squirrels more of a vermin than birds?
+Olde Basstard Thank you, thank you. At what point in history did vermin become adorable cuddlies?
I usually don't think music enhances a video... but this selection was perfect!
The comment read ,I think the music encourage him . I had know idea what to expect .I laughed so hard , thankyou .
This squirrel has more determination than a freshman college student undecided about which major they will do.
I think it’s apparent that squirrels were the true inventors of Parkour.
now that right there was a well put together, short/funny/viewer involved video... well done.
Love this! Good music,too...😲
I about died laughing watching this. I go through this every year. Mine isn't as elaborate as this one. They will jump, run, spin, hang upside down, and puke until they get what they want. Which is bird seed. Even though my back yard is full of nuts underground. They still want my bird seed. So lets say this really makes me sad to the birds not the frinken squirrel. I almost break my ankle every year from holes due to the squirrels and their food. Believe me there not going hungry. They're to finken smart and determined.
+Ms K. Johnson But when they hit the 110 volt trap they always quit.
Thomas Hanson
No no electricity... That's just cruel.
+Ms K. Johnson What made bust out laughing was the guy running out after the squirrel...
+Ms K. Johnson use cayenne pepper. Birds cannot taste it, but squirrels can!
Erin Where would I put the pepper. Some how they get up a pole. hahahaha
Lmao the dude running at the squirrel at the end had me dying
LMAO ! The music with this video made even more funny !
This is the best one by far... The music is perfect... Lmao... 😂
What great agility these creatures possess. When one did it fast enough, he soon learnt the trick over the wheels. That squirrel deserves a bag of nuts. 😄
poor squirrel worked so hard! GO SQUIRRELL!
gooo!!
Dorothea808 This guy is a jerk.off
I just sprinkle the black oil sunflower seeds on the pavement, and let the squirrels, sparrows, chipmunk(s), doves, robins, crows, bluejays, chickadees, feed to their delight. Been doing it now 10 years, track the populations, and enjoy the company. One squirrel and one chipmunk are almost tame. there was one chipmunk who used to feed a mole a few years back with bread crusts and seeds. Love it. Never had an infestation problem either. Poor baby squirrel. Jeesh.
Good Job the music from Mission impossible fit to the T, And I think Jim and the rest of his team would be more than proud to have this guy join them for that was some of the best work at overcoming things that would be impossible to some
Love it only wish the innkeeper would have let him have his meal after all he did work so hard for it and put his life on the line witch each jump
thanks for posting
Check out the Black label And from the 1980s with the Mission Impossible theme and its also a clip from a Program called Daylight Robbery.❤️🤣
Very nice presentation. Thank You.
P.S. I almost missed the grand finale & angry dad chase, or was it the son? :)
The squirrel is Smarter them the homeowner., the squirrel is ready for the Olympics
XD That Innkeeper. LOL
I can't stop myself to imagine Squirrel hanging on rock cliff with paws widespread like Tom did.
This is far far better than watching the two legged squirrels on TV, this is actually way more educational , informative, and entertaining than the TV squirrels in Washington DC and Hollywood. These squirrels are much more intelligent and interesting.
Now all we need is for the squirrel to become a Scientologist and we're all set to make the next Mission Impossible movie.
How do you know they aren't already???
😂😂🤣🤣👏👏
......And they shall call the squirrel “NEO”. He is the chosen one from the Matrix! 😁
🤣
Omg that's hilarious. The music
...haha. made my morning!! I suggest you move the other one to this side.
I love to see this video regularly 🐿
I was pulling for him the whole time!
Squirrels gotta eat too! If you don’t want “critters” don’t attract with food!
I keep seeing these, feeding birds but act like a squirrel is a rabid lion throw him a peanut 🥜
If people wanted to feed squirrels they would have put out squirrel feeders instead of birdfeeders.
Norm E that’s not how it works Norm. They all forage and hoard for winter. They’re called animals.
@@norme1850 lol
We just blast em away when they think they can chew on the bird feeder and nock it down
I think the squirrels enjoy a good challenge! 😁 Better off having a designated area just for squirrels because they always win! Lol 🌰🐿️
I have to admire the shear determination of the squirrels!
in the uk the grey squirels are considered non native and a pest (thing is you dont really see the native red squirels anymore) that is the only reason i can think of why not to feed them, 75% of people with bird feeders are subjected to stolen peanuts and fat balls from squirels, my parents had a decent bird table/station that birds flocked to but they took it down because a field mouse and a squirel (1 of each) fed off the scraps in winter (the squirel stole 4 or 5 fat/suet balls a week though) my neighbour has a good feeding station for wild birds and we have squirels, they feed the squirels "monkey nuts" (whole peanuts in shell) and they are too busy eating/hiding/burying them to care of the birdfood... this year i will reset that feeding station at the parents place, with squirel proof bird feeders and a squirel feeding station to keep him happy, not sure of the mouse yet lol
Gray squirrels are natives to Eastern North America. They were introduced to London parks in the 1800s and later spread all over England on their own. So they are not pests in Eastern North America, they are natives there.
01:11 Foolish Humans, aren't aware that they are dealing with Squirrels from a Special Commando unit.....
Loved every minute of it !!! GO MISSISSIPPI SQUIRREL!
Perfect music, awsome vid.
Not so bad having a squirrel brain, eh?
Very funny
Best laugh of my day!
I have lots of squirrels, but aggravated with bird feeder robbers..
They have an abundance of nuts from our trees
That was hilarious! Thanks for posting!
lol, this was good
DonnieDarko1 r
Lmao, the squirrel beat you. Great video..
Great video!!! I use to have a pet squirrel... There awesome!
Lol too smart!!! GREAT editing!!! Next edit you should add in those little titles of what the squirrels are thinking lol!!! 👍👍
I was rooting for the squirrel and, lmfao!
Uhhhh.... maybe if the larger second disc DIDN'T have holes drilled in it for the squirrel to use as hand-holds, it would be a sound design... What the hell are they there for anyway?
Because he didn't make this to prevent the squirrels from feeding, he made it for clicks and more clicks.
I was going to comment the same.
or maybe the fucktard didn't want the squirrel to suffocate. :·}
Two reasons I can think of off the top of my head: 1) Help prevent that one wheel from tearing down the whole line in strong winds; 2) The more holes in the wheel, the less overall mass/weight of it, all while still retaining it's structural integrity.
That should be the next american ninja squirrel 🐿️
I just discovered from Brome Bird Care the "Squirrel Buster...the seed feeding openings shroud allow birds to feed, but the weight of the squirrel forces the shroud down, spring loaded, closing the seed feeding ports. Some large birds affect the shroud in the same way. So far so good even if the squirrel manages to get to the seed feeder past the shroud. 😊
