I think about squirrels and how their welfare ALL THE TIME!! People think I'm crazy when I say "oh look how windy it is I hope all the squirrels home are going to be ok." I'm happy to see that I am not the only person who worries and cares about them. Thank you for this great idea. I don't get any squirrels that can come up to my window but I'm going to leave those near were I see them the most!!
I have a type of pet brush that releases the fur in pads. I leave them for the squirrels and birds. They love it. We have a husky, so fur lined nests all around. I do love the nuts in a cotton ball. It's a great idea.
If you have a garden, you can purchase a squirrel feeder then gradually train them to come closer to the window and feed. That’s what my parents have done. Squirrels have now learnt if they knock on the window, they’ll get food 😮
Me too, me too nat369i. I always comment while on walks, about the squirrel or bird nests and worry about them in the rain, cold, wind, sleet and snow etc. And am always amazed at nature and the resilience of all God's creatures that survive yet another winter to visit with us once again.
That's a great sentence for smalltalk, I might use it too 😂 it sounds like a lovely mix of being socially awkward, loving animals and being a bit crazy, but in a nice way
Giving them cotton is a truly beautiful thing! The little ones will have some extra warmth and padding through chilly nights. Bless you for your goodness. 😊😊❤❤
I usually will leave out like an old stuffed pillow, they love grabbing the cotton in those! Great second use for something that would just end up in a landfill ❤
Anybody else love how squirrels do that thing where they hold both little arms up when you talk to ‘em or feed ‘em? It’s like they’re saying “who, me?” 🥹🥹 It’s so sweet, I love all my “pet” squirrels. But if I don’t get their food outside quickly in the AM, my planters get dug through like crazy! 😂
Omg yes! That's exactly what my boyfriend & I say when they do that. "Who, me?" Great minds think alike 😊 I love them so much. They're the cutest. I have several that I leave nuts out for all the time. I told my boyfriend that if we ever find one that's been displaced from their nest, if mama doesn't come for it, we're going to have a pet squirrel & he's perfectly OK with it 🥰
I'm fascinated that they took the cotton balls. Obviously it's some warm extra padding for their beds, but the split-second decision to grab it was so interesting.
I'm bedstruck and haven't been outside in quite awhile... Thank you for bringing nature and so much love into our homes! The squirrels are lovely! - and so are you, for noticing, caring and sharing ❤
I've raised two squirrels from babies. The ones eyes were completely white when her eyes opened. My girlfriend was devastated thinking she was blind. We started feeding her avocados and her eyes miraculously healed.😊
That's amazing, because avocado is toxic to so many animals! I love avocados so much, but have to be very careful that my Cockatiel is not out when I eat anything containing it and I don't put it in scraps that I put out for the feral cat that lives under my porch. (She keeps the mice and rats away.) I guess it's safe for squirrels if it didn't kill your baby!!
My husband and I are known as the "chipmunk whisperers." After we'd fed a number of chipmunks on a vacation, chipmunks began showing up to us--asking for food--everywhere else we went. It was bonkers. I even had one semi-tame one come right up to me, as I stood in a parking lot, and placed his (or her) foot on mine, looking for food.
What a sweet idea. I'm picturing the ones that took the cotton resting their heads on a soft pillow tonight. Thank you for sharing your little ones with us. R.I.P. P'Nut ❤
Oh my gosh!!! I can't believe how incredibly sweet and thoughtful this is!! You really are their fairy squirrel mother/protector! Such a kind and sweet soul all around with everything!!! Hugs to you, your beautiful cat and amazing squirrels!!! ❤🐾🐿❤🐾🐈🐾❤👩🐾❤
I feed them year round. Never thought about cotton balls. Great idea. I'll do the same. I have one squirrel who takes peanuts out of my hand ❤. Thanks for your kindness .
Hang in there. In my experience, 4 years after losing my kitty, I still think of her every day and miss her, but it stopped hurting a good while back. The memories are a gift that you get to keep. 💙🐾🐾
Today I just happened to watch a video unaware it was going to end up very , very disturbing. I spent the entire day thinking how I was going to erase forever from my brain the short glimpse I had . I could not just un- seeing it....until I saw this amazing , inspiring random video that just popped up and the impact it had just erased that uncomfortable moment from this morning. These little fellas are so intelligent and the labor of love from this lady makes her an outstanding role model. Gratitude OP
The most I have been able to befriend is neighborhood cats 😂 I love how safe the squirrels feel with you. They look straight at you to ask for a special nut it 😂
Oh wow, I didn't even think about the cotton! That's very thoughtful and the squirrels seemed to love it. Also lovely to see Mighty take after his mama, he's so smart brave, even took empty cotton that she had left! Thank you for helping them ❤
I chuckled from the cute way Cutie felt of the cotton when she first took it. It’s as if you could see her thinking…hmmm, whats this. Lol..Your squirrels are so spoiled. There is a verse in the Bible that says that even the animals of the righteous are blessed. (Proverbs 12:10). Your babies and Kiara are certainly blessed❤❤❤
I actually made a shirt with Proverbs 12:10, and the first part of the scripture is "Good people take care of their animals". If you are interested, you can find the link for the merchandise in the description.
I learned a new word/term! Dreys! We've got a mama squirrel who's had one in our back yard for years. The cable company is telling us to cut the tree down, but I know how important that spot is to her.
I love the cotton balls. I knit and I leave bits of wool or cotton yarn on the trees for the birds as they make their nests. Not acrylic because it doesn’t disintegrate. But I bet cotton balls would be welcome as well. 😊
Remember, if you put out nesting material for the wildlings: only use natural fibers like 100% cotton, wool, or (in our case) llama fiber. 🐑🦙🐐🐕🐈⬛🐇 Synthetics can wreak havoc on our little friends’ digestion if they happen to swallow it, and some form long, tough strands that can entrap them or cut off circulation to an extremity.
@@ominous27 Yes! And cat hair is very warm. I met a spinner who tried making mittens from her cat’s hair. She said they were pretty, but made her hands sweat!
Ok I officially envy You all the lovely squirrels You've been blessed with. I was a caretaker for a couple of lovely asian redbellied squirrels for nearly 10 years, and I really enjoyed it
These videos make me cry because I have outside squirrels I help out too and so many people just... aren't like that. I love my squirrel buddies though ❤
I was sad when I heard about it. Rest in peace peanut 🥜 💗🐿️ all animals should have rights. Good people have our eyes and ears open for these types of things. And it's not forgotten.
We have 2 huge trees in our backyard - one oak tree & one pine tree. Needless to say, we have a pretty big squirrel & bird population back there. I alternate putting out different raw, unshelled nuts for them, especially during the winter months. I never thought of putting out cotton balls for them. Thanks so much for the tip! My woodland creatures are gonna be extra warm this year!! 🥰
I love the cotton ball idea. I am in so California and we have squirrels that visit our yard daily. Although it's not super cold at night, I still think they would love the cotton for their nest. I know I would LOL.
AAAAHHHHH THIS IS THE SWEETEST IDEA!! You're a very sweet human and my favourite sort! Thankyou for thinking of the animals, you're so thoughtful and kind. 😍
My husband and I do this for the crows and squirrels on our property. It's so awesome to know someone else gives out tiny appropriate first aid packages for our tiny friends.❤

Cutie always demanding stuff from the secret menu
The V.I.P. menu. ;)
😂😂😂😂😂💙
😁
😂😂 exactly
When they get stuff they're all excited like they won the lottery. Such a great idea.
In squirrel world they did win the lottery
Well it's the squirrel equivalent of getting a free bag of groceries and nice comfy pillow 😊
I like how 🐿️he peeked in the window 🪟like “ you got something else in there” 🧐 or he was like “ hmm nice place you have here” 😄
😂😂
So true, it's hilarious! 😂🎉
Indeed 😂😂😂😂 Cutie is a very special squirrel ❤❤❤❤
So sweet lol ... they're getting more comfortable. 😄
I'm thinking nice place...😂
Thanks! I now know a treetop squirrel nest is called a drey. 💜💜💜
Ditto.
Anyone else thought this was some kind of nut sushi?
I thought maybe coconut 🥥😂
I definitely thought the nuts were wrapped in sticky rice 😂
Idk why, but i did think it was crisco...
🐿🍣
🙋♀️ me
After a long day at work, sitting down to watch your squirrel videos is just the balm I need for my soul. Thank you for sharing them!
I'm very glad 😊❤️

There were a group of squirrel watchers in York UK. They had notebooks with stats on each squirrel and what nuts they had eaten

Giving them cotton is a truly beautiful thing! The little ones will have some extra warmth and padding through chilly nights. Bless you for your goodness. 😊😊❤❤
Right ✅!! And they can construct their dress even faster!!😃
@@sheilayoung9082 lol! This was so wholesome 😂❤
We don't have squirrels in Australia. It's strange to see them so prevalent in the States. Cute lil' suckers
I usually will leave out like an old stuffed pillow, they love grabbing the cotton in those! Great second use for something that would just end up in a landfill ❤
@megan2878 We have lots in the UK too 😊

It balances out my police cam channels and crime story channels indeed.
Awwww that’s so sweet🥹
my thoughts too
I'm bedstruck and haven't been outside in quite awhile... Thank you for bringing nature and so much love into our homes! The squirrels are lovely! - and so are you, for noticing, caring and sharing ❤
I feed the squirrels and birds, as well, but had no idea they would take cotton balls! Thank you for sharing your lovely videos! :-)
I had no idea about the cotton I will give it to my squirrels THANK You
Very similar to a chaotic human lunch rush.
Cutie, "LOOK everyone.....HEAVENLY nuts....they are floating on CLOUDS!!!!" hehehe
😄

@katbird5775 I know we did some research first because Avocado is good for eye health. Maybe it was just a little miracle.
How sweet. My Mom used to call me the “squirrel whisperer.” Looks like I’ve found a kindred spirit. 🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️

Im obsessed with squirls aswell. They are such interesting people.

Mighty is just as brave as his special Mama. The kits looked great & I'm sure the extra cotton will help line their nests.
Wonderful care packages, you are such a special lady.
You are very kind, thank you 😊❤️

I got a tear in my eye when I saw "Joey". That was my dog's name, who passed away last year. I miss him every single day. ❤
Hang in there. In my experience, 4 years after losing my kitty, I still think of her every day and miss her, but it stopped hurting a good while back. The memories are a gift that you get to keep. 💙🐾🐾
And me, it was my kangaroos name.
🥰
I still miss my husky even after 15 years. I hope your Joey comes and visits you in your dreams, that's always a very special night :)
😢So very sorry for your great loss.❤
Sweetest video. Oh my. Their eyes.
😊❤
Thanks for being a rando buddy to little creatures.
Thanks you for a very pleasant break every now & then.
Thank you very much for your kind gift 😊❤️

Beautiful thoughtful gifts you give your squirrels 🐿️❤️
Sweet babies! Thank you for feeding them and giving them some cotton balls! They love you!! 💕
I like at the end how she handles the whole Pecan shell
Am coming to your window in a squirrel costume 😋
Another lovely gesture for the squirrels, thanks for sharing.👏👏
Another beautiful gesture for some very special babies!
This was delightful. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Neat idea w/ the cotton. My squirrels just rip open my outdoor toss pillows I have in the chairs, & use that as their bedding. ;)
I like that you seem rather calm about losing your outdoor toss pillows to the squirrels. 😁 I also very much like your UA-cam handle.
Oh wow, I didn't even think about the cotton! That's very thoughtful and the squirrels seemed to love it.
Also lovely to see Mighty take after his mama, he's so smart brave, even took empty cotton that she had left! Thank you for helping them ❤
Mighty looked like a little Santa with the cotton as a beard! LOL
God bless all the squirrels.
Aww so cute like Christmas gifts! 🥺☺️
Your clan looks pretty healthy, let's hope they all make it through the winter! 👍
i love these beautiful names you have for your squrriels

@@Squirrels_at_the_window Awesome Truth! Wish Jesus's truth was shared more often we are told to share His word. :) God Bless you Natalie dear. :)
This is such a kind gesture for your squirrel friends and i'm sure they really appreciate you for it ☺
I can’t wait to have a place of my own where I can feed all the animals 😢❤ I just wanna scatter all kinds of treats around the yard
Thank you 🙏🌞❤️
Another wonderful video, thank you.
I love the cotton balls. I knit and I leave bits of wool or cotton yarn on the trees for the birds as they make their nests. Not acrylic because it doesn’t disintegrate. But I bet cotton balls would be welcome as well. 😊
I do the bits of wool as well and we found a discarded nest one year with my wool bits wound into it. Best feeling ever

I have a long haired cat would her fur be okay ?
@@ominous27 Yes! And cat hair is very warm. I met a spinner who tried making mittens from her cat’s hair. She said they were pretty, but made her hands sweat!
Shoot they can have a wad of human hair. I’m worse than our pets.
Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know that.
Thanks for helping them out!!! Keep up the great work.
I adore people like you.
Edna, me, too. Trying to imagine a world where we all bring a bit of triage where it's needed... especially in nature.
🌲🐿🥜🌰🌿💙
this is a great idea to help those babies store up for the winter 💙💙
Youngster squirrel is smart. Thoroughly enjoyed this video.
I love this idea! I've also heard leaving our lint from the lint trap is helpful for birds and squirrels.
Mighty is so super brave😊
Your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me!
Ok I officially envy You all the lovely squirrels You've been blessed with.

Is it better for them to have shelled or unshelled nuts 🌰 🥜 🌰 ?
Squirrels are absolutely beautiful ❤
Bless you for looking after our furry friends !
I absolutely adore those that care for others (even animals ) and do something so sweet & mindful 🌹
Oh my gosh - so cute! How thoughtful!

You are so sweet and thoughtful to these precious creatures 💖 I am so that they have YOU,
Aww. You're the best squirrel mom ever! 😍
They are all so beautiful and healthy thanks to you ❤️
