I used to put out peanuts for the blue jays and inevitably the squirrels would get them.
This picture one of those big wooden spools that was in our yard when we moved in. One time a peanut fell into the center hole and I guess a squirrel imprinted on that and now, I guess, its progeny (?), still seek snacks in that hole.
How long to squirrels live? It can’t be that long. It seems like it’s been years since that happened.
I had the hole covered just out of habit and I went out one day and that other hole had been eaten through the wood.
Is even a peanut worth that? What is wrong with squirrels? There is no food anywhere around there. Weirdos.
