Doesn’t the saying go something like, if you want something done right, do it yourself? Yeah. You send your husband out to buy a new bird feeder and doesn’t he come home with the Davy Crocket model complete with a fur tail. Maybe that’s why not one single bird has shown up for a bite in the past almost 2 weeks it’s been hanging.
“Fur” real though, this super brazen, albeit pretty cute, squirrel spent over THREE HOURS hanging from this feeder yesterday morning. Most of the time he was actually eating, but even when he stopped to catch his breath he still wouldn’t leave the thing. He just hung on until the next wave of hunger hit. Good thing we’re not hardcore birders. This little episode would have put someone from the Audubon society over the edge.
Between the cardinal last week and now this very photogenic squirrel yesterday, I’m debating on changing my career path. The heck with working my tail off massaging people twice my size! If all I have to do is look out my window for a fascinating and compliant subject to snap pictures of, maybe I should become a wildlife photographer. I’m sure National Geographic would love to hear from me.
* Note to readers: I don’t own a “Davy Crocket” bird feeder—totally a project of my imagination—as far as I know anyway! That’s just the actual squirrel’s tail you’re looking at. 
Great picture!!! Hilarious!!
Really, he buys a bird feeder with a squirrel tail ATTACHED and thinks it may attract birds!!! I love the pictures though. And obviously the squirrel loves the feeder!
Haha! No, I was joking about the tail! That’s actually the squirrel from the other side of the feeder. I hope to god there really aren’t bird feeders with squirrel tails attached. . .but then again you never know–haha!
