I don’t love freezing out there but it is nice not having any bugs to deal with and the birds will take food out of my hand all winter long but when the summer comes they mostly abandon me because they can find their own food lol so I do enjoy having them around more in the winter! I think the baby squirrel is so cute too! I hope it is ok out there. It is so cold. I hope it has a nest. I sort of think it’s a she for lack of seeing any boy parts but I’m not sure and I’m usually wrong so we’ll see🤣
My computer is old, and I could not tell which birds you were hand feeding, but my favorite birds are nuthatches and chick a dees. You're a good person for feeding the squirrels and birds. I've been feeding my own little feathered and furry crew for decades, too!
I love feeding the critters! The birds in the video are tufted titmice and black-capped chickadees! They are the only kinds of birds that I have hand fed so far but I hope to add other birds to that list someday!
That was the new little baby! The blue jays do scream when there is danger but they also scream at each other a lot while the peanuts are out so they make it a little confusing for everyone lol!! Luckily there were no signs of danger while I was out there today!
@@TurnerTurnip Not successfully thankfully!! I have seen a hawk try to take a squirrel two separate occasions. The first time I didn’t know the hawk was there and it tried to grab one from a tree but missed. The second time I saw the hawk and it landed on a branch in the same tree with the squirrel and I screamed my head off and clapped and it finally left! Besides that I have seen a hawk get a bird maybe 15 or 20 feet away from me. I got up and chased it all the way out to the front of my yard and across the street but obviously I didn’t catch it lol but I sure tried!! And another time I looked out of my bathroom window and a hawk that had just got a bird was flying right up towards my window at me and but it went right up and over my house. That was actually pretty crazy! The worst thing I witnessed was a stupid eagle ate a bunny. It was summer and I had just been outside feeding a squirrel and I heard something screaming. I ran outside to see and I thought it was the squirrel I had just fed but I later figured out by the fur I found where it was picked up that it was a rabbit. It was awful. I could see the eagle a little ways away up in a tree eating it and it was screaming and so wasn’t I. Needless to say I hate eagles. Maybe I’m the only one in the world but I don’t like em. At least not the ones that live around here lol. I don’t like the hawks either! Oh and I was also so unfortunate to see a hawk eat a nest of baby robins that I was watching! The mom and dad robin were trying to protect the nest. It was so sad. That’s all of my traumatizing stories. I do try very hard to protect them the best I can while still feeding them too. It’s hard and I’m obviously not always successful but I try! I love my buddies!!
@@MelGsBackyardSquirreling Thanks for sharing. Like you, I've also never seen a bird of pray kill a squirrel. I've just seen them kill other birds. Definitely not something I enjoy seeing. As for rabbits; yes, they do scream very loud when they are being attacked. BTW, did you know that squirrels will also eat baby birds in a nest? Apparently they do if they're hungry enough. Nature is so cruel.
That is a great way to spend time sitting in a beach chair in the snow. Poor baby squirrel being startled by the loud Bluejay. REMINDER: Sunday, January 21, 2024 is National Squirrel Appreciation Day. Get outside and do something special for these precious furry creatures that bring us so much happiness and joy.
That’s not a beach chair, it’s a squirreling chair🤣! It works perfect for feeding them because it is so low to the ground. I have no plans for a video with props for tomorrow so nothing too special but I’m probably going to just post a regular video with a reminder of squirrel appreciation day. ❤️🐿️
@@montyblackcat It has been really cold here lately. A little bit below freezing! I try to make sure my little buddies get plenty of food so they can keep warm! It is supposed to warm up to a little bit above freezing this week. I can’t wait!
Hi Mel! It continues to amaze me how the birds will eat right out of your hand! The squirrel's are still my favorite! So glad you have a channel, it's very enjoyable.
Awesome video Mel G and great editing - Love seeing you in your videos hand feeding the squirrels and birds - Happy Thursday evening to you 😊😉 - Thank you.
Your squirrels seem so gentle now. Their tails seem to be extra fluffy too; which would make a nice pillow or "nose cover" in the frosty nights! :D Mel, I don't know whether you trained the birds to come when you hold your hand out or they trained you to hold your hand out when they come near! Either way, it works like a charm. Love your look all bundled up but still comfortable sitting out in the cold snow! Thanks and stay warm and keep those squirrels happy!!
I watch for the birds to land and then I hold my hand out! They are so cute! It was in the 20’s today 🥶🐿️ My poor squirrels!! It’s supposed to warm up a little bit next week. Yay! Thanks Randy!
@@MelGsBackyardSquirreling I'm sort of joking about who trained whom. You and the birds are so closely synchronized, it's difficult to see which of you initiates the feeding! You are very observant and quick to respond and they know that! Do your squirrels behave differently when it's cold out? I'm not nearly as close to "mine" as you are to yours, but mine don't seem to mind the cold and snow - except that they vacuum up my black oil sunflower seed in far greater quantities! I just bought some peanuts so I'll try feeding them those tomorrow. :D
@@randy-9842 They don’t seem to act much different in the snow. Your squirrels are going to be so excited for their treats tomorrow! 🥜🐿️ If you have blue jays they might devour them lol.
@@MelGsBackyardSquirreling I'm hoping for the Jays too. That'd be fun. I goofed though and failed to notice when I bought them. I knew they were "in the shells" but I missed the fact that they ARE salted. I should avoid giving those out ... right?
Thanks for the double watch!! I’m so glad you two enjoyed it! I am so happy that Mama Squirrel is doing good too! Her fur is growing back in so that’s good because it is freezing!!🥶 I can’t wait for it to warm up again!
❤🐿😺❤ ❤thanks❤ ❤the cat squirrel channel from Berlin 👍83 It's fascinating how trusting your squirrels are and the birds also come to your hand. And all of this in a great winter landscape. You are a gifted squirrel and bird whisperer. Beautiful.
Hi Mel,, you look nice and comfy out there!! So wonderful to see the snow!! YAY! So nice to see you and your wildlife friends!! Have a good weekend,,, going to be cold!!
It was freezing but I have hot flashes so much I can barely notice how cold it is!!😂 I am my own heating system!!🤣 I hope you have a great weekend as well!
@@NaturesFairy Yes lol!! Winter is definitely my friend!!😂 This has been going on for a few years now. It’s annoying!! I’m a year a half out from my last one too! I wish the hot flashes would stop already lol!!
I do! We might get another couple inches tomorrow and it is supposed stay cold for the weekend but it should warm up to over freezing on Monday so yay lol. I feel so bad for my squirrels when it stays below freezing. I hope that little baby squirrel has a nest somewhere.
Mel G., We spend a good amount on shelled and unshelled nuts each week. But May I ask you how much you spend (you put us to shame)!!! Enjoy your videos!! Barb D.
Lol! I honestly have no idea how much per week but nuts are expensive and honestly it’s been pretty hard to keep up lately. I’ve been checking my grocery store regularly waiting for their Xmas nuts to go on sale lol. I’m thinking maybe the beginning of February because they haven’t gone on clearance yet! I hope I don’t miss it, they already don’t have that many left! I am so glad to hear that you enjoy my videos! Thank you very much Barb!❤️🐿️
There you are Bob Porch!! I missed you! No chippies here today! Too cold!!🥶 Maybe on Monday lol, it’s supposed to warm up a little but by then!🐿️ It was nice to hear from you! Your way smarter than the average congressman!
Thank you for looking after our squirrel and bird friends 👍
I absolutely love looking out for them!! They are my buddies!! Thank you very much!!❤️🐿️
I would do the same as you. It's so enjoyable to be with nature year round. The little squirrel is adorable. ❤🐾

The squirrel in the tree got nervous when he heard the Blue Jays screaming. When a Blue Jay screams, the squirrels know there's danger in the area.
That was the new little baby! The blue jays do scream when there is danger but they also scream at each other a lot while the peanuts are out so they make it a little confusing for everyone lol!! Luckily there were no signs of danger while I was out there today!

@@randy-9842 yes, unfortunately I would not give them out. Salt is bad. Maybe take them back and see if you can trade for unsalted.
Magical, like a Disney movie😊
Aww, thank you very much!☺️
Aw this is adorable.... thank you for helping these precious gifts of nature, God has given to us 👏 Best Wishes from Scotland, UK.
Hello from Connecticut, USA! 🙋🏼♀️ I love feeding them! It is usually the best part of my day!! Thank you very much and I hope you have a good night!
Mama looks like she’s bouncing back nicely. Thanks for the video Mel, Luna and I enjoyed it (twice). Be well my friend.
