The smart aleck answer is "It depends on where the squirrel is."  But--if you're serious...\n\n\nIf you shoot it in the head, you don't damage any meat.

Man takes wounded squirrel and brings it back to health. Dog doesn't care because man rewarded him with a treat.\n\nLater all laugh, because the squirrel eats his nuts.

We've had deer, coyotes, bobcats, rabbits, and squirrels in our yard.  Possums and racoons, too.  We live out in the country and see all kinds of animals in our yard, both wild and domesticated.

Squirrels build nests called "dreys".  They are made of twigs and leaves.   The interior is lined with fur,  feathers or other soft material for comfort.   There are normally two exits in this type of nest,  and they're built high in a tree between two strong branches.   High enough to provide protection from ground predators,  but not too high or the nest will be destroyed by the winds.   \nSquirrels also build a nest,  called a "den",  in a hollow tree cavity.

Oh! my dad used to tell me that squirrels were cats, radishes were apples, and that peanut butter was made by monkeys and elephants. I believed that until I saw a Mr.rogers episode when they visited the peanut butter factory.

If the pedals were plastic, then squirrels could eat them.\n\nGround squirrels eat certain vegetables and field crops at seedling stage. Squirrels damage young shrubs, vines, and trees by gnawing bark, girdling trunks, eating twigs and leaves, and burrowing around roots. Squirrels even gnaw surface-type plastic irrigation pipe.\n--> http://cecalaveras.ucdavis.edu/ground.htm

Unknown to many, squirrels really hunt in groups called...  umm... nutheads. The hunting party usually consists of 10-15 adults. They can bring down prey many times larger than themselves... like dogs and cows. A lead squirrel alerts the others to a prospective target. Then, every individual tries to distract the prey by running around in front of it. Once distracted, the alpha squirrel aims for the balls and sinks its teeth into it. When the helpless dog/cow falls to the ground, the nutheads go for the kill.

i think you would know, they would be looking for food so bags open or something.  I knew when I had mice because they leave droppings, I didn't have much food in the house but they did manage to eat 1/2 a box of after eight mints.  They are peppermint and once I read mice hate peppermint but I guess they were hungry.  I was not there much.  Rats are nasty.\n\nAlso I suggest you should use spell check.

Tree squirrels are active all year round. You may not see them as often in the Winter, since they stay in their nests to conserve body heat. But they don't hybernate!

Squirrels mate in the Winter, and you can often see males chasing females up, down, and around trees. Once mated, both the male and female build the nest.\n\nEastern Gray Squirrels usually live in forests, but they are also seen in yards, gardens, and city parks. Basically, they live anywhere there are large, deciduous  trees (trees whose leaves die in the Fall).\n\nThese squirrels live in trees year-round, either in cavities or nests they build out of leaves. Cavities are often old woodpecker holes. Nests are usually high up in tree crotches. Nests are hard to see in the Summer, because they are made with green leaves, and are hidden by foliage (leaves on the trees). They are easy to see in the Winter, when the nest leaves have turned brown and tree leaves fall to the ground.\n\nThe trees most commonly used by Eastern Gray Squirrels to live in are White Oak, American Beech, American Elm, Red Maple, and Sweetgum, though they will use others also.

Hey kiddo! I love to watch birds too! I put up a couple of hanging feeders from my tree. The squirrel proof one. It has springs on it so when a squirrel jumping on it, then feeders trays close. I've got squirrel food for them anyway, they can munch on their peanuts and sunflower seed chips.\nHave a great set of Binoculars. I've got a small set and keep them right on the window sill ready to use at a flying "What's was that?" moment. It's very relaxing to bird watch and a fun thing to do. Wish more kids did it, they probably be in a lot less trouble!\nIf your going to put up a feeder, figure out what birds are in your area, and buy the right feed that attracts them.\nSince your favorite is a Indigo Bunting and if there in your area my book says they like peanuts, millet and seeds. Fruits too. So throw some of that around and see what happens!\nHappy Bird Watching LOL\nSmileyCat : )\nThanks for the lesson on your favorite bird.\nI'll be talking to yha!
