But squirrels can also be somewhat of a nuisance. Especially if you feed the birds, like I do. Does this picture look familiar?
Now, like I said I love all animals, and don't want to hurt any of them. But when a squirrel gets on my bird feeder, I really do get angry. I do not want them getting on top of my feeder eating all the seed.
Squirrels can also eat plants in your garden. Which can be annoying, since you spend a lot of time and money planting everything. They also can be a problem if they get in your house. If they get in your attic or anywhere else in your house. They can chew on your installation or your electrical wiring. This happened to my mother last year. She discovered a few squirrels had found a way into her attic and were nesting up there. They made a mess of some stuff up there and even chewed through her Christmas Tree lights!

I use to have a lot of squirrels in my yard and it was very hard to keep them out of the bird food. Last winter we had a chipmunk that lived next door, but I have a hunch its the one who chewed on my wires.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a lot of problems with squirrels out here in California but back home they were terrible. They were contently digging up the plants in my garden.
ReplyDeleteSilly squirrel. I am so excited about moving, because there are birds and squirrels all throughut the front and back yard. I will have to keep an eye out on the squirrels in our new yard for this type of behavior, though. As much as I love them, I too wouldn't want them eating the garden I plan on planting or feed in our birdhouses.
