2. sweet Queen/Squirrel synking!

What happened to the squirrel at the end when he had something stuck to him??? Is he okay :(

[Inchworm]

4. It was practicing kung fu on a corn cob

Wrestled it a bit then tossed it because they had already stripped it.

:rofl:

9. *whew*

that was the red part.

Those squirrels RULE :headbang:

[question everything]

5. What was he burying? Bird seeds?

'cause the ones in my backyard demand peanuts in the shell. And when I toss one at them, by the time the smell it, the blue jay will dive directly at it.

They just like to bury. In the winter they would bury them in the snow. And then, of course, someone else would come and dig it up.

We put fresh sod on some part and I really have to watch for them not to dig, just for the fun of digging.

6. Yup- Sunflower seeds

I assume I'll have sunflowers growing everywhere. :P

:hi:

7. There was once a squirrel named Cyclops, that I used to feed.

She would sit and watch me gardening and any sunflower seeds I had left over, she would plant. The grew too. It was fun to get to interact with the squirrels.

11. I may call another ceasefire

If their yardwork in fact produces birdseed.

:rofl:

[Jamastiene]

14. Believe it or not,

two of the sunflower seeds that Cyclops planted grew side by side one year. They grew about 7 feet tall, actually. Later in the spring, the goldfinches ate the seed heads. They actually hung upside down to eat them. It was a lot of fun to watch.

16. I plan to leave any that grow in flowerbed

We'll see. Hec, I forgot what I put in there anyhow :P

:blush:

[question everything]

15. Before you will get seeds, you will get just seedlings growing everywhere

In the summer we switch to safflower that the black birds do not like, neither do the squirrels, but the chipmunks do.

[Inchworm]

17. I used to mix safflower seeds with sunflower

It got costly :P

:hi:
