Squirrels – The Acrobats
Squirrel Habits
Squirrels are agile, energetic creatures often seen darting up trees or scampering across power lines. They are known for their impressive acrobatic skills and their habit of burying nuts and seeds to retrieve later. Squirrels are very curious and can adapt well to urban environments, making nests in tree cavities or even in attics. Their bushy tails help them balance and communicate.
Making Friends with Squirrels
To befriend squirrels, try offering them small treats like nuts or fruit. Sit quietly in a park where squirrels are known to frequent, and hold out the treat without making sudden movements. Squirrels are naturally curious, and with time, they will approach you. Avoid feeding them from your hand initially to prevent any accidental bites. With patience, you may find a furry friend scampering up to you regularly.
