Isn't interesting how some become quite comfortable with hand feeding, whilst others are always nervous. Well I guess it proves that just like humans, they are NOT all the same!
My Uncle has a lot of pine trees in his backyard. He built a swing that sat out in between two of the pines. He would go out every day with nuts and sit and eat…eventually my Aunt would look out the windows and there my Uncle would be with 15-20 squirrels sitting on his lap, the swing, his shoulders and at his feet while he would share his time and nuts with them all.
I really love how you don’t pull your hand away ( so you don’t scare them ) it shows that you fully understand these guys & know how to build trust & show calmness 😘🐿 😇🙏💜
I love how you put the hand feeding in slo-mo! You could see how sweetly Cutie and Lily put their paws on your finger! Absolutely precious! Poor Mickey - if he weren’t so skittish, he could have that squirrel-human connection too! But they all have different personalities. I love them all.
It’s so beautiful & heartwarming to see your more experienced regulars actively seeking out the one to one attention & physical contact with you. Such a strong sign of trust & the bond you’ve forged with them that they’d rather wait, hold your fingers & trust your selection than take the easy “safe” option & grab the food left out for them. It’s seeing & having been lucky enough to experience similar moments myself with my own wild squirrel visitors that make me love them so much as creatures. They’re so full of character, courageous & inquisitive, & are often so open to the idea of forging relationships with the strange, furless giants that must seem so imposing & dangerous to their sweet little eyes. Plus, you’ve got a real gift for charming them! As always, a lovely watch 🤗❤️🐿
That's as good as any reason, because I really don't know why Cutie and Lilly prefer to be handfed. I would like to think that it's because they like to touch my hand, but I don't know... 😊🐿️❤️
That's how I feed all of the squirrels around my home, by hand, once in the morning and once in the evening. About 10 I would guess, but they're all named "Mr. Squirrel", as I cannot tell any of them apart! Been bit or scratched a few times but I don't think it was aggression. Those peanuts can look like fingers sometimes I suppose. Over time I've begin to notice the signs of anxiousness, and sometimes I get new ones that are really scared to approach, so I'll just toss it to them instead. But they always come around eventually when they get more comfortable. Now even the blue jays, doves, and cardinals come up to me for food. I really can't afford it but it's fun and I'm addicted to feeding them 😊
I just love your videos! Thank you for your care and love of your neighbor squirrels; it's so clear how much they trust you, even the ones who are more hesitant or dramatic about it. :)
This is so cute! Mickey is dramatic! I love how Cutie and Lily put their paws on your hand. So trusting... how could anyone not love these special little friends. I had one on my mailbox early this morning waiting for me! ❤
Very cute how Cutie and Lily really want you to hand feed them 😊🐿🌞🐿🌞 Mickey was funny as well being so dramatic and skittish lolol, i wanted to see Pierce but he decided not to get food at that time i guess lol
I've been feeding my squirrel friends for something like 10 years. Though I never tried to feed them by hand, I don't think they'd let me. At first breakfast, some will come up on the patio, a couple of feet from me. But that's as close as they get. You are truly blessed. They have touched your hand!
Why do they put their hands on your fingers when they’re hand fed? I don’t know the exact reason, but I do know this: It feels really great and it seems like they’re saying “Thank you”, or maybe “I accept you as a friend and a food source.” 😊❤️🐿
They’re all so cute, I would love to be able to hand feed them as well. I also like how Cutie and Lilly prefer to take the food directly from your hand. They’re all such sweeties, I am envious. Thanks for putting up these videos; it’s wonderful to watch them. 😍
I could sit there and do that all day long , , , I had a squirrel back in the early 80`s that used to come in my house ( we left the back screen door open for him ) And he would jump up on top of my fridge and yell like crazy until I gave him Walnuts ! His name was Oscar and he was around for about 12 years until he died in the back yard of old age ... YOUR PAGE BRINGS BACK THOSE GREAT CHILDHOOD MEMORIES AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT ! Many Great Wishes To You And Yours My Friend .............
Miss Squirrels at the window and her squirrels is what makes me tune in YT early every morning. They are just my daily dose of sunshine and always brings me much happiness. GOD Bless you dear
So Mickey is a Drama Queen? 😄 It's really cute that when you hand fed Cutie and Pierce, they put one of their paws on your finger... Their way of saying thanks? 😊
In Tonbridge Park, (Kent UK) years ago, I hand-fed a squirrel a nut from my chocolate. It actually stood on it’s hind legs and placed it’s front legs on the palm of my hand to take it. It was so gentle and polite and it’s little pads were so soft and cool. I gave it another and I felt we’d really made friends that day.
I love squirrels! When I went to the park for exercise, occasionally some squirrels would cross paths with me and stand on their hind legs. Kind of like they're begging for food, but I had none! I then bought some nuts for them and I would hand feed them. One of them even gripped my finger. I knew their claws were sharp, but I had no idea just how sharp they were! They didn't cut skin, but I knew I wouldn't want to get a claw swipe from them! Anyway, squirrels are real cuties!
Fascinating. Melodrama Mickey, I like it. I was imagining Mission Impossible music while Mickey was darting about. It just came natural. Another great video. Thank you.
This is so delightful. I’ve been feeding my squirrels here, and I’ve learned a lot from your lovely channel. May I ask what happened to beloved Smoothie? And what was wrong with her left eye? I’m Hank you so much for doing what you do and for this truly delightful channel Of yours.
Hello 🤗 there Dearie,while it can be tough to for us, viewers to watch how pained, Mickey is, when getting hand fed, though I feel it could serve him or her well, in self preservation skills hopefully... As for Cutie and Lilly, I do feel, there's a trust and connection, they're expressing with the finger grabbing.. I learned very early, the value of a stead hand, when feeding them. I've been nipped a couple of times, early on, though I also believe, the ones that crave hand feeding, want to steady themselves, and make it less likely to have "nip" moment.. I choose to believe it's sign of affection... God bless...
I have two squirrels that will eat out of my hand. One of them will touch my hand and sit on the porch with me whilst he eats his peanuts. Thanks to your super cool channel. I have more ideas for treats.
I had one little sweetheart I named scrappy who liked to be hand fed by me and would touch my hand and climb up on my chair outside I loved her, she is gone now I miss her :(
Lovely, you obviously have their trust. I see black squirrels when the nuts are out, waaaay down the garden. There´s a snake lives in the old dry bush, we hear him, rather than see him, we call him Russell. Mostly I have ants, impressive, but not much fun. Enjoyed the video, thank you.
Isn't interesting how some become quite comfortable with hand feeding, whilst others are always nervous. Well I guess it proves that just like humans, they are NOT all the same!
Love how cutie and lily touches your hand
My thoughts exactly!
Yes, I found that endearing too. They want the contact.
@@leondgreat1 Mine too! Sweet little paws making that connection is priceless.

Pierce looking over the edge of the A/C...."Is Ellie up there eating all the peanut butter again?" LoL
Lol 😂
I love how you put the hand feeding in slo-mo! You could see how sweetly Cutie and Lily put their paws on your finger! Absolutely precious! Poor Mickey - if he weren’t so skittish, he could have that squirrel-human connection too! But they all have different personalities. I love them all.
How wonderful when the squirrel put its tiny paw on your hand,in trust,when you offered a piece of walnut.
What a beautiful bond you have with Cutie and Lily ❤
Getting ready for a new generation of squirrel 🐿️ is a blessing. They trust their Mama's actions and trust you ❤❤❤❤
I just love watching the squirrels. Nothing fancy just squirrels doing squirrel things.
Aw, bless Lily & Cutie. The way they touched your hand was so sweet. Almost like a human to squirrel fist bump 😂.
Cutie lives up to her name, as always. They all took the food very nicely from you, such good manners!
They all look well fed. 🫶
Aww, they just want to give you a "Thank you, kind lady!" hand-shake. 🤝🐿

I'm very glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your lovely comment 😊❤️
Cutie and Lilly are really two lovely squirrel. I love how they put their little hands on your finger. ❤😊
Who knows how those little squirrel brains work, but maybe Cutie thinks the ones from your hand are freshly picked off the tree this morning.
That's as good as any reason, because I really don't know why Cutie and Lilly prefer to be handfed. I would like to think that it's because they like to touch my hand, but I don't know... 😊🐿️❤️
@@Squirrels_at_the_window Well, I'm sure touching her person is quite the bonus..
1:39 - I like his gentle tap on your finger when he took the walnut piece. That shows trust.

They are still fearing the giant could retaliate for all the stolen nuts :) :) :)
It's so fun to see how comfortable Cutie and Lilly are with you. They touch your hand when they feed. Thanks for sharing!
Micky very dramatic. Ahh! I can see why cutie has the name. So special how she touches your finger. Thanks very much for sharing ❤
I love it when they touch us.. people always ask if I’m afraid I’ll get bit feeding shelled peanuts. She’s so gentle, not at all. Momma is my friend 😊
They are the sweetest things!
They are so adorable. ❤🤎🧡
You gave Cutie the perfect name. She really is a cutie.
I could watch a squirrel do their *_yumnomnomnomnomnomyumyumnomnomnom_* for 7 million hours a day and never get tired of it. So stinkin cute!
It’s so touching to see them trusting you so much and touching your hand when you feed them ❤
It is so cute the way those two demand to be hand fed. Cutie and Lillie are like, “Please hand it to me. I am a civilized squirrel.” Lol 💅🏼 🐿️🐿️
I just love your videos! Thank you for your care and love of your neighbor squirrels; it's so clear how much they trust you, even the ones who are more hesitant or dramatic about it. :)
I'm very glad and thank you for your kind words 😊❤️

😄 That's cute! 📫🐿️❤️
Mickey likes it! 😂 (Mickey, Mikey, close enough lol) I think Cutie and Lily know that Mom’s food just tastes better ❤🥰😘
They can really taste the love in there! 😂
Very cute how Cutie and Lily really want you to hand feed them 😊🐿🌞🐿🌞 Mickey was funny as well being so dramatic and skittish lolol, i wanted to see Pierce but he decided not to get food at that time i guess lol
"those blue jays sound weird in slow motion"
😂🤣 Yes! I thought it was a turkey! :)

what a relaxing way to spend a few minuets! i've never learned so much about squirrels!
❤❤❤❤hola ardillitas
Why do they put their hands on your fingers when they’re hand fed?
I don’t know the exact reason, but I do know this:
It feels really great and it seems like they’re saying “Thank you”, or maybe “I accept you as a friend and a food source.” 😊❤️🐿
Oh I never go to about pages, most I do is check descriptions. Cute channel, I hope it continues to grow!
Thank you very much for your kind and generous gift 😊❤️
@@Squirrels_at_the_window No problem 🙂
I'm jealous. I want to have this trust with neighborhood squirrels
I love Lilly

Sounds like a hawk was cruising above.
There was no hawk, those sounds are made by blue jays.
@@Squirrels_at_the_window wonderful 👍
The slo mo is so dramatic... And yes, the slo mo birds sound very Jurassic Park! 😂
1:40 That is such a beautiful freeze frame. Cuties’ gentle touch is precious.
Pierce playing peek-a-boo…….so cute.
Just magic ❤
TOO CUUUTE! 💖🙌😺
"Mickey is one of those overdramatic squirrels." Hahahaha I love how you know the personality of each squirell. (I'm still laughing.) 😺😺
Miss Squirrels at the window and her squirrels is what makes me tune in YT early every morning. They are just my daily dose of sunshine and always brings me much happiness.
GOD Bless you dear
I'm very glad, your comment made my day. God bless you too 😊❤️🙏

So Mickey is a Drama Queen? 😄 It's really cute that when you hand fed Cutie and Pierce, they put one of their paws on your finger... Their way of saying thanks? 😊
Yeah, or maybe they want to make sure I don't take the nut back. 😄
@@Squirrels_at_the_window Haha. 😄

That hand fed moment in slow mo...needs some romantic and titillating music for the effect. Its a moment if try bliss for the 👀"SQUIRREL"👀
Blue Jays slow mo gives you an idea of how Dinosaurs sounded perhaps?
I love how they hold your hand with their tiny hands, it is too darling.
❤❤❤❤
They are so cute! The one who is so trusting and puts his paw right on your finger while gently taking the nut has such good manners.
I found Not you are living in canada or Amerika so beautiful your Videos. I looking from germany.
❤such sweethearts!
How beautiful ❤
Thank you for sharing. You had me chuckling.
I like Pierce lookin over like peek a boo
Aww, they trust their human friend ❤
Cuties ❤❤ Squirrel drive thru
This is so delightful. I’ve been feeding my squirrels here, and I’ve learned a lot from your lovely channel.
May I ask what happened to beloved Smoothie?
And what was wrong with her left eye?
I’m Hank you so much for doing what you do and for this truly delightful channel
Of yours.
Thank you very much for your kind words 😊❤️ Unfortunately Smoothie's eye infection spread to her head and she passed away.
Precious moments 😍 I thought the slo mo was a great touch too

Bell notifications failed me, but it’s working now 🤷♀️weird

Thank you for this video. I needed it :-) i like them all but Cutie's reaction was Epic👍
Awww the way they hold onto your finger is so cute.
I have two squirrels that will eat out of my hand.
One of them will touch my hand and sit on the porch with me whilst he eats his peanuts.
Thanks to your super cool channel. I have more ideas for treats.

Xin ăn dễ thương đáng yêu quá đi ve ry good cute ve ry nice
Aww- one of mine accidentally bit me. She was so excited! OUCH! Oh well!! I love them all!
pierce cracks me up!
Yes, they want you to hand feed them, but I think they like that the process involves them voluntarily touching your hand. Part of the fun for them!
