I've been watching the squirrels in my backyard for years. I see them cram leaves in their mouths and head for the evergreen trees to build their nests. There was a piece of cardboard on my deck that had been out there all winter. I watched squirrels tear off pieces of it and use it for nest building. My deck was the Home Depot for dray building supplies.
I have four grey squirrels who visit my garden and balcony several times a day. I think they are related. One is definitely a female and I think the others are her mate and 2 offspring. They often visit en masse, but this can lead to high speed chasing and screamed warnings when magpies and crows are around. I have hand fed all of them and two have explored inside my sitting room. They are such characters and brighten up my day watching their antics and seeing them grow.
I'm pretty ignorant about wildlife. During quarantine, I noticed a squirrel gathering moss in it's jaws from my garden then climbing to the very top of a fifty foot tree. I thought "they must be nesting, i didn't know they did that" then David not only confirmed it but showed me a candid view inside one of the nests. Also I live in an urban area, this is commonly seen if you notice patches in your grass or have tall trees nearby. Their agility is something to behold!
From being Ignorant to being learned about nature and wildlife is a wonderful and healing journey..🌿 very few people are blessed with this divine experience in today's busy world..
You speak as if you were there. I remind you that evolution is just a theory. I have faith in the Bible in that god created man in his image, you have faith you came from a rock by random chance. Which one takes more faith I wonder? That the watch was built by design, or that all the pieces were magically shook into place? I remind you one cell is said to be more complex than manhattan at rush hour.
They are tenacious at tasks that need to be done. Destruction is not a vocabulary in squirrel (or any other species) intelligence. They do have the intelligence to negotiate. However, squirrels are like very smart two year olds...with a different path of intelligence. Clearing land to build is not considered destruction, for example. With humans and humans, all parties involved have to come to an agreement before the destruction (clearing.) With humans and squirrels - there is no communication whatsoever. If you build a fence on the land, the squirrels would likely find their way past the fence with no intent to trespass. With squirrels to squirrels, the intent to trespass could be there...but usually squirrels would not use that intent unless there is some urgency. It's nice that you are not mad at the "destruction". Perhaps there is a way to improve the situation so that your garden is not destroyed.
Thank goodness, a squirrel video that isn't about them suffering or dying. What on earth is wrong with people these days to want to record the suffering of these beautiful little creatures?
@@vcemeteryyes but these are american grey squirrels, brought over here by stupid rich landowners who didnt know they out compete our native red squirrels, they also carry a fatal disease which doesnt effect them but kills european reds. They are also responsible for millions of pounds worth of damage to forests, by stripping off the bark of young trees killing them and making them worthless. It is an offence in the uk to release a grey squirrel in to the wild. The grey is a menace to the ecological of the uks woodland, I could go on there are 2.7 million of these creatures in the uk, whilst only 100,000 reds left
Yes they are cute and when I was a child I loved to tame them to eat bread from my hand but when I became an adult and had a house I hate them because they get into my attic That's a real mess. Now I chase them off if they get close to the house. I still like to watch them from a distance. One day I watched 3 of them play. They would run out a branch then hop on the end of it and use it like a diving board the branch would bend down and spring back up with one of them on it he would ride it to the top of the spring and then jump to land on a branch of a different tree about 6 feet away ...all of this while 20 feet in the air. Nice game and fun to watch.
@@barryinglaterra ahhh yesh I heard it but I think the reason is that someone brought from the usa and set it free. And gray squirrels are stronger than red ones.
I love watching this beautiful creatures of. God's creations! I saw 2 of them spend many arduous hours building their home tearing "huge" (for their size) branches carrying them up and "weaving" them in! AMAZING with no tools or machinery they manage to build their sturdy homes! Have seen several blown off after a storm and they remain fairly "intact" so quite a feat!!! ❤🐿️
have Tons in trees all around my place have them. I thought they may be squirrel nests. didnt know they were called Dreys until today. very cool tho. have a big ol fat squirrel who cuddles in the alcove of my kitchen ..I call it Fernando even tho I have no idea if it is male
Red squirrels thrive in coniferous forests with larch and Norway spruce whereas grey squirrels thrive in mixed forests with oak and hazel. planting champions!We bought a hazel tree and the grey squirrels planted two themselves. Guess which are the better ones?! The biggest threat to red squirrels, is yes, humans for cutting down so many coniferous forests. Luckily red squirrels thrive on the Isle of Wight and North West Scotland! I love grey squirrels as much as red squirrels. They are environmental, tree planting champions extraordinaire! 🐿️🌳🐿️🌲💚
I’m only here because a video where Daichi or Jesus of the volleyball team (this makes no sense if you haven’t watched Haikyuu, 10/10 recommend) to fall asleep💀💀💕
Idk... I'm not "frightening" to the squirrels I feed in my back yard... they associate me with food + water that's why... Yet I'm the deadliest predator they have. Fear really comes down to intellect. You can't fear something you can't even comprehend. A squirrel can't comprehend the mechanics involved with a gun, for example. Therefore, since I only kill the really big squirrels for eating, they don't see or hear rifle too often. It's rare enough that they forget about it, and when I bring it back out, they look at me like, "OH HEY BUDDY, WHAT IS THAT?" *BOOM!!!!!!!* "AHHHH OMG THAT HURTS! WTF~! AHHHHHH MY BODY, AHHH, AHHHH!!" That's pretty much their life
As long as you eat them all up and soup them so none is wasted - enjoy; though, I expect like rabbit, they are more ligament, tendon and sinew than easy meat.

We have Bob, Alfredo Jr, and the whitey twins. They love almonds and pecans.
Why would you let them inside....like seriously
@@lennarthagen3638 Why not? They’re cute and take almonds from my hand, and after a little exploration they go back outside, no harm done.
@@mandynewman8234 im just askin
I get lots in the garden which backs onto wooded area. Feed them, and love watching. This is so adorable.
Squirrels are very intelligent, curious, funny and beautiful creatures, just like me! Lol 😂
Darling mommies and their precious little ones! ❤️🐿🐿🐿❤️
Thank you mother nature 💚
Me and bae: I wonder where 🐿️ squirrels sleep?
UA-cam IT IS
This video is the world's best video
It helped me understand why I'm seeing what a rescued squirrel is doing now!

What kind of camera can film inside a small nest like this?
More squirrel 🐿️ 😂 videos BBC !
If you want more squirrels, I have a squirrel Puppy, for you to watch!
Squirrels are one of the most amazing God's creation. He must have been quite inspired on that day 🐿💞🙏
Agree!
Yes, they are delicious.
@@Pavia1525 Damn it was gonna comment the same thing lol

David Attenborough for the WIN!
0:46 I feel like he's holding onto a machine gun waiting for someone to approach
I'm hearing squirrels chirping all night every night these days. There's a nest at the top of my neighbor's tree.
Those might be Chipmunks.
They sound like smokers
HAHAHAHA Squirrel's face in 2:14
We have a ton of squirrels and they destroy my garden but gosh, they're cute.

Aren't they beautiful ❤❤❤❤
I have a few living in my backyard, they are so precious 😭😭
Beautifully done video! Great narration, this man is very talented, music is wonderful.
love the music

It’s a pest control in uk
I hear you but if we never learned the harsh reality of the animal kingdom we would probably fail to ever help them. Animals do some heinous shit lol.

Squirrel is so cute. Aww:D
I love the BBC. And squirrels are so cute
so cute
Shout out to any full time squirrel mums out there
Yes they are cute
and when I was a child I loved to tame them to eat bread from my hand
but when I became an adult and had a house
I hate them because they get into my attic
That's a real mess.
Now I chase them off if they get close to the house.
I still like to watch them from a distance.
One day I watched 3 of them play.
They would run out a branch then hop on the end of it
and use it like a diving board
the branch would bend down and spring back up
with one of them on it
he would ride it to the top of the spring
and then jump to land on a branch of a different tree about 6 feet away
...all of this while 20 feet in the air.
Nice game and fun to watch.
The camera work boggles the mind.
🌲🐿️🌳 which tree you hibernate? 😂🤣
Oh..!! I just assumed all the biggish looking nests I see in the bare trees during winter were bird nests, or abandoned bird nests.. Lol! 😂🤦♀️
My white car is parked under our squirrel nest and it ain't pretty 🤭😋
Haha I know that feeling😂
New recruits lol
I thought birds made those things, not squirrels.
Both
I thought they lived in holes in the ground.
I think they had to blend nest in from humans and birds. Years of abuse u learn. And storms
@@nikolas_schreck Some do. They're called ground squirrels.
@@nikolas_schreck your thinking of Hobbits.
Love your voice, can you tell me a bedtime story please?
its always interesting to watch to squirrels. we have only red squirrels. so for me its super nice to see gray squirrels. i like them too.
Gray squirrels are smarter than red squirrels too.
Gray squirrels have almost extincted the red squirrel across most of England.
@@barryinglaterra ahhh yesh I heard it but I think the reason is that someone brought from the usa and set it free. And gray squirrels are stronger than red ones.
Wow, clouds make squirrels grow. I didn't know that.

Makes me not wanna go squirrel hunting anymore. Lol..

How on earth are they water proof?!!
@Megaphone77 yes going into a squirrel nest is very bold C;
Western Gray Squirrels are listed as endangered in western Washington.
A thing I've noticed among greys is that they're very dominant towards black squirrels
goood video.
Where is
@KEM0SAVY he said something like "some things like the hawk are obviously deadly, but other are frightening but harmless"
How do they cope in strong winds and
Storms?? :(
Aww I want to see this whole episode. ☹️ anyone know where I can find it? For free if at all possible?
Me too
Me too
Me three
Word!
Birds make nests. The nests are usually on a limb not a place as sturdy as a drey.
Squirrels do make nests. I have proof. There on some videos I've made!
Well i guess my chance of getting squaids just increased by 50 %
I love these little guys, but they are insane for racing against cars... :(
no fool squirrels. didnt your mother EVER tell you those are squirrels nests.
I thought they lived inside the tree
I feed the squirrels in my yard nuts and bird food but they are so skittish - dosnt take much for them to hightail and run.
Until Gamo enter the dance...
Huh weird but cool
Just prevent infestation ....
Found a squirrel? Here is the proper care: squirrelforum.com/
I have a baby Squirrel living in my gazebo she had a baby a few days ago click my channel to see it it so so cute
Pan fried squirrel is delicious.

This was a fun read

Easy prey good meat. Squirrels know how to survive and nature provides. It normal
I think some people enjoy seeing animals suffer. That's why they post suffering creatures.
Pathetic. It shouldn't be allowed.
squirrels = rats with fuzzy tails
Tree rat life
Humans are Smartest and cruel animal on earth... they cut trees they destroys their lifestyle..🥲in cities they rarely expect love and habitats from us
