It’s so cool to be able to actually see their nesting behaviors. Thanks for posting this. 😊🐿

Some cardboard got left on our deck this winter. Squirrels were tearing off pieces of it and using it to build their nests. Must be good insulation. I'm glad we're the Home Depot for squirrels.

I really enjoyed seeing how diligently, she was filling it up with leaves... Thanks helping them, and so much more, for it with us.. I like to think 🤔, my little guys, I care for at home in our yard, feel like "they know a guy" for food and water.

Omg I just want to help her/him! We see her work in speeded up time, but each one of those mouthfuls involves so much work outside the nest to find, secure & then bring home the nest material. I want to climb a ladder & fill the nest with leaves for her. Or him. Great vid, thanks for sharing it.

I see the squirrels in my neighborhood, they're always busy and diligent making nests, looking for food, caring for the babies, looking out for predators(too many), burying food for winter, stacking more leaves for winter ... ... that's why I never allow my dogs to chase or bother them.

I used to build squirrel houses and when I was finished I would put a big handful of Timothy in it before I hung it, sometimes two if the weather was bad. They really appreciated it because they also had something to chew on besides keeping warm . I gave them peanuts roasted in their shell and unsalted in a self feeder so they could take one whenever they wanted . The Blue Jays didn’t like it because they couldn’t get in the feeder which had a heavy for them plywood lid with hinges but the squirrels just put their nose under the overhang of the lid and pushed it up and took the peanut’s . When he backed up the lid would close by itself from gravity . I built it that way so it wouldn’t open too far and then fall back in place .

You can tell it is Winter as they have "Ear Muff" fur around their ears. Interesting to see making a nest in a bird house this is one way a Hawk or other predators won't get them.

I’m surprised to see squirrels sleep alone. I always imagined them to all squeeze in and cuddle in cold weather. Lol 😆 I know birds often roost together. Squirrels are so territorial! I know the have a hierarchy when it comes to favourite eating spots.

@tothelighthouse9843

They will often nest together in winter for warmth, especially siblings, but they tend to be solitary creatures the rest of the time. When females become pregnant they find an assertiveness & territoriality that most squirrels don't normally exhibit. They'll kick everyone else out of the nest & take it over as a birthing house. I've noticed very mellow females become the top of the heap when they're pregnant to ensure they get sufficient food & have a safe nest for their young.

When they are in it they protect it at the opening. But they will leave for periods of time during the day. During the day I’ve seen rando squirrels come in twice now. They don’t stay long and just sniff the place down and skedaddle pretty fast.
