Lets save the red ones first! 🐿

When you see several trees that are growing on top of each other (say three trees grown from the same spot that have grown into each other), that's very often the result of squirrels that never retrieved nuts they buried.

They say that about the German squirrel (red squirrel?) too, but in a documentary I saw that the squirrels know very well where they hid the nuts. It was the magpies and jays that watched them hide a nut and then retrieving that nut when the squirrel left. So later the squirrel looked for its nuts and they are gone. Then the squirrel is running around in confusion and people thought that that is forgetfulness. But the poor squirrel is just looking for his nuts.

"It isn't my fault I forget were I hid my "nuts" they are too small and hidden where I can't see them".

One year, I gave a friend's mom a squirrel feeder for Christmas, along with a 50 lb. bag of ear corn for it. The next summer (they lived in a nice neighborhood), people couldn't figure out why there were stalks of CORN shooting up in their lawns! It's not only nuts that squirrels bury and forget about. . . .

It's not only grey squirrels that forgot where they leave their nuts.
