I have not been making any videos lately because I have been keeping an eye on Mama Squirrel. A couple of weeks ago she was picked up by a bird of prey and thankfully she escaped. Unfortunately she did have two deep wounds but she has been healing and she is doing great!
I have been running off the hawks every day lately. But I’ve found that feeding crows and blue jays peanuts really helps. They run them off! I know people love hawks but I do not!!!
I am sorry your Mama Squirrel was attacked by a bird of prey. I know hoe upsetting it can become and the worrying associated with monitoring her and wondering how she is doing, especially with the cold weather coming. I love all of the squirrels that visit our property, especially the Mama Squirrels and babies. I will pray for your Mama Squirrel's continued recovery 😘🐿❤🥰🙏
Aww, thank you! She is doing good! It is so hard worrying about them. It’s always something too! Now I have another with a swollen face. Im pretty sure it’s Mr Gray. I’m hoping it’s an abscess and not tooth problems. I’m not sure yet. I’m just hoping for the best ❤️🐿️
Good to know that she escaped and that you take care of her 🐿💛 I've been so worried recently because there are big birds outside and when the squirrels are around I stay there as well so that those birds don't get too close.
I’m not a fan of those big birds!! I do try to stay out there with them while they eat to watch for the birds and I also try to put food underneath the bushes so the big birds can’t see them as well or get to them as easy and if I can’t be out there I only leave enough food so it will be gone in an hour or so so that there isn’t animal traffic all day out there. I also have an air horn to blow when I see big birds because the squirrels will not run if I yell lol. That’s all the tricks I have. The big birds unfortunately still win sometimes but I try to give them a good fight!
She is doing good! It is her right arm. It looked horrible when I first saw her. I talked with the rehabber and we decided to just keep an eye on her because I told her that I don’t think she would do very well in a cage. She is friendly to me but she is a very nervous squirrel so I don’t wanna ever have to catch her unless it’s absolutely necessary. I did have antibiotic ointment to try to put on her but I was unsuccessful. Thankfully she is healing good on her own!
Good job Mama Squirrel, and glad to hear she’s on the mend. I’ve had to move some feeders to protect from the hawks dive bombing the diners. Thanks for sharing, be well my friend.
Mama Squirrel !! Mel, it is so good to see her doing better though she still lacks the full range of motion in her right arm. Amazing that she can still catch! :D I think we've all been "pulling for her." Maybe we should start calling her Mama Houdini - the escape artist! Thank you for watching over her and for giving her some extra feed. Stay warm up there. It was slightly below Zero with some dry / lightweight snow this morning here in Arkansas and my bird feeding station is overwhelmed with Purple Finches, Pine Siskins (I think), a few Goldfinches, two Juncos and a mated-pair of Cardinals ... oh, and a couple of _very fluffed-out squirrels!!_ I haven't seen my Blue Jays, Chickadees or Titmice yet though.
Wow, you have lots of birds!! I have had a bunch of blue jays around here lately. I’m so glad Mama Squirrel is doing good too. It does look like she has a little bit of trouble with her arm but thankfully it seems to be good enough! It has been cold here too but not quite as cold as you have there. It’s been in the 30’s and the lows are in the 20’s and teens at night. I worry so much for my squirrels when it’s cold. I’m pretty sick of the cold already too! Brrrrr 🥶
❤🐿😺❤ ❤thanks❤ ❤the cat squirrel channel from Berlin 👍20 This is always a breathtakingly beautiful spectacle. It's great how the cute squirrel catches the nut. Thanks for sharing and have a nice evening
Hello ! She is a great catcher ! you are suppose to say something like "bravo" or "good girl" !? How do you apply the ointment !? Can you pet her ? I only had one friend that I could pet almost like a cat, it's not in their nature at all, much simpler with the chipmunks. Take care Mel !
Yes I have pet Mama Squirrel quite a few times! I was going to just smear the ointment that the rehabber gave me on her with my finger and leave it but I did not get to put the stuff on her though because she was extra nervous for a minute so I couldn’t get my finger close enough. I can’t blame her though. Luckily she’s still doing good! And since then she has come back up on my knee again so she’s back to being not so nervous around me. Yay! I posted a short a little while ago. I saw a baby today. The rehabber that I talk to thinks it’s about 8-9 weeks old. It’s so cute!!
@@MelGsBackyardSquirreling Yes exactly, there is one in my yard who has her baby face still, even after many months, she is small too. It's been snowing here about everyday for a week or so.
I actually had antibiotic ointment to put on her but I was unsuccessful. I have pet her before but she seemed more weary after the attack so I couldn’t reach out and get it on. I tried for three days and then I decided it was healing well enough so I stopped trying. She’s still doing good!❤️🐿️

The poor squirrel! I always fear that something like that would happen to my squirrels. So happy she is doing well ❤🐿
I’m so glad she is doing well too! I love Mama Squirrel! And I am always worrying too. It is so hard not to.
Once I see one of the big birds or a cat or dog I'm worried 🐿💛

OH wow,, bless her,,, how scary she was caught,, her Guardian Angels were watching over her!!
Right!! I am so thankful that she is still here!! I love her so much!!❤️
Oh, I hope she’s ok. Looks like her right arm? Poor baby! 😔❤️🐿

She’s lucky that she has you for a friend! ❤️🐿
@@SquirrelTheater and I am so lucky and thankful that I still have her here with me to be my friend!!❤️🐿️

I hope it helped! I’m not a fan of the big birds. I know they gotta live but can’t they go live somewhere else😆

@@MelGsBackyardSquirreling Good ! and I just saw the short, I like the baby squirrel faces, cuter than the mature ones.
@@levent8208 They do have a different shaped face! They are so cute!
@@MelGsBackyardSquirreling Yes exactly, there is one in my yard who has her baby face still, even after many months, she is small too. It's been snowing here about everyday for a week or so.
@@levent8208 it snowed a few inches here today. I think we are getting a little more in a couple days too.
Witam jaki piękny zwierzak pozdrawiam z Polski miłego wieczoru życzę
Thank you and hello from the USA!🙋🏼♀️
Some lady mixes antibiotic in almond milk for her sick squirrel….
