I've got one that seems to think my front garden is a banging hiding place for his wares.
I not so secretly really enjoy watching him.
I just wanna be like snow white and have lots of animal buddies. *sigh* |

Oh a woman after my own heart. I have a couple I occasionally leave some seed and nuts for in my front lawn (just occasionally as they’d lose their instinct to gather things if feed too often) and I love watching them play and bury things  |

"Hopefully it does not get under roof tiles and into the loft....then they become a pest...."
He's only coming as close as the front step. I have a massive tree at the end of my front garden and next door have a fern near their front door.
I've heard plenty of people in our street who've had them in their lofts.
I wanna build him his own little house. I won't, but I want to! |

I've got a squirrel gang that charge about the garden and big trees. someone gives them monkey nuts which they bury and stash in every nook and cranny.
they are super fun tho do damage some of my nice plants. had a couple of white ones turn up but the gang seem to have chased them away.

when i was a park-keeper i had monkey nuts to feed the local squirrels, one of which got so tame he'd come in my hut and climb up my leg to sit on the desk eating, also could get him to sit on my shoulder like a parrot which was cool |

Have you ever seen blackbirds jumping up and down in your garden, they are trying to imitate rain,worms come to the surface when it's raining, very clever |

Found a dead one in my sofa last night. How it got there and why it decided to eat the foam that killed it were some of the things I wondered as I threw it in the bin.
Followed by fuck, that isn't even my sofa.  |

"In my last home I used to watch them do it and then see a woodpecker fly down and take the stash, woodpecker must have been in tree watching lol"
It’s almost the other way round at mine. Woodpecker on the bird feeder and the squirrel rocks up- then it’s like some sort of mafioso turf war for 10 minutes….usually ending up with a victorious squirrel hanging upside down to feast on the nuts while the woodpecker shouts abuse from the trees.
I’m just waiting for the Magpies to get involved and turn up with shotguns  |

"Pretty sweet to watch when they pat the ground down after burying the nuts
It's the first time I've ever seen one do it in real life and not on a cartoon  "
I used to sit outside with my daughter at the top of our garden and hand feed them. They love monkey nuts so we sat with a tray on our lap with lots of nuts on it and eventually they came down to eat them. Takes patience but so worth it. |
