That's lovley of you to feed the foxes 😍

[Bingofox007 in reply to Blackbird8]

I have 5 foxes regularly turn up for tea and sunbathe in the garden, some like biscuits, some like sausages, others will eat anything. They also like stuffed toys to play with! 🦊 I love the squirrels too, get them from time to time, always with a jay or two, they must eat the same stuff. Amazing photo as usual for us all to enjoy . Take care 🦊x

Hi Blackbird8,

Thank you that means a lot to me, my children think I need help😂🤣, my husband helps as he is my husband 😂🤣, some wild creatures need help at times, after all, we have taken so much of their natural habitat.

My 2 cats just look at them, no conflict on either side. Foxes are quite timid.

We have one in our garden that runs up and down the fence to torment one of my dogs!

[Blackbird8 in reply to helenlw7]

I can see that happening 😂😂😂

[sassy59]

He looks to be doing well and l don’t mind them. Haven’t seen any squiggles in a long while. Xxx❤️🩵🩷💙🌈🌞

[Blackbird8 in reply to sassy59]

I don’t mind them,but I do object to the way they steal/destroy the feeders I put out for the birds.

I bought alleged squirrel proof feeders,they weren’t cheap.

I glanced out of the window one day,surprised to see a squirrel spinning around at high speed round the feeder.

Worse was my cat sitting at the base of the feeding station.i was concerned in case he got bitten or caught something from the squirrel.

Shot outside,this was pre illness and I could still rush

The cat ran, the squirrel disappeared,the feeder was destroyed,all the spinning had broken the thread,no further use.the other feeder met the same fate. I buy cheap feeders now.I hope you’re all coping with the weather.the heat is not suiting my lungs.

[Blackbird8 in reply to Oshgosh]

I know they can be little mischief makers what a lovley story though... Funny 😁

[Oshgosh in reply to Oshgosh]

when I was still gullible,I bought a squirrel feeder..

Its a little box that screwed to the fence,it had a lid.

The sales pitch was that they would open the lid,eat the nuts,thus saving the bird food/ feeders.

They never looked at the squirrel feeder,9 years on ,it’s still on the fence unused.

Usually the squirrels win round here x

[Blackbird8 in reply to Oshgosh]

I have more than a few run through my garden I trained Sadie to sit and watch but do not chase she never looks at them now ... But they are the most entertaining stealing and running rings round the birds 🐦

[Patk1 in reply to Oshgosh]

U prob didn't intend to make this humorous Oshgosh but the picture u painted made me laugh ;>)) x

Cost me nearly £200 to get them out of my roof space.

[Blackbird8 in reply to whit]

Oh my goodness I would go mad if they were in my attic ...

[Izb1]

I can't say I am a fan, they dig up my plants to hide their nuts and remind me of rats x

[Blackbird8 in reply to Izb1]

Not everyone loves them lol

[Alberta56]

I like them. When I was a child we took bread to the local park to feed the ducks and the squirrels came out of the woods to join in the fun. Ah nostalgia. xxx

[Blackbird8 in reply to Alberta56]

Wander down the lane of memory 🥰

[watergazer]

We have squirrels that come into our garden They’re very cheeky and eat the birds suet balls however they need food too so not too bothered. I feed our regular group of blackbirds raisins which they come and eat the minute they’re put on the fence. The wood pigeons drink from my water feature We only have grey squirrels by us and only a few. Cute photo bb xx

[Blackbird8 in reply to watergazer]

They can be menaces I know that but love to watch their antics 😂

[Shirleyj]

Love squirrels, they come in the garden for the bird feeder little acrobats 🐿️x

[Blackbird8 in reply to Shirleyj]

Me to in a kind of good way 🥰

[Ergendl]

Love watching them in our local park. They stay clear of my garden with my white cat around, but occasionally plant an acorn from no-idea-where to grow in a flower pot of geraniums or lobelia.

My dad used to call them pretty rats and kept a pellet rifle under his bed to scare them away. He never told his grandchildren as the elder daughter adored grey squirrels.

[Blackbird8 in reply to Ergendl]

Hilarious 😂 😃

[Mavary]

Aww! I do! I get them come on my fence. I feed them with peanuts.

[Mavary in reply to Mavary]

Xx

[Blackbird8 in reply to Mavary]

Bless thats good of you 🙏 😍

[Nicholatracy]

I get a lot of squirrels and feed them shelled peanuts and peanuts in the shell. The blue jays love the nuts in the shells 🐞🐞

[Blackbird8 in reply to Nicholatracy]

We have a Jay just waiting to be collected by our local bird man ...the nest was knocked out the tree by I'm guessing a magpie and the baby has been abandoned 🥰

[Nicholatracy in reply to Blackbird8]

I hope he makes it 🐞

[MoyB]

[Patk1]

He's a lovely colour.only grey squirrels locally.gd to read everyone's comments,feeding wildlife and antics of the squirrels )) x

[Welshcatlady]

I love to see the squirrels, even the grey ones. Thanks for sharing the photo with us.

[Jaybird19]

grey squirrels --they steal food meant for birds and destroy bird feeders and other equipment. it is our fault that we have grey squirrels and they have killed off the native little red squirrels .

cost you a bomb if they get into your house.
