I just saw this thread yesterday. How funny are those Star Wars squirrels!
I love the light sabers too! Thanks Curious! My hubby esp.

We have a large wooden birdfeeder outside the dining room window. We have
had it for a LONG time. It has a squirrel baffle, and greased pole, and nothing nearby to jump from, and we have a new athletic squirrel..my husband says is the size of a cat, and I have to agree, who gets in there and throws off the heavy cover and trashes it all.

He's wired it shut..to no avail. Yesterday he watched and watched, and
he looked to the side of a nanosecond (that is his word for the time frame),
and super squirrel managed to get in there again. We still have not seen the
technique. But after seeing these Star Wars squirrels, I am thinking ours must be beaming in from the Starship Enterprise. Or at least teleporting in from
another dimension?

beam me up.....lol...

i cracked up when first saw that picture mrsd. it was called " Park Wars".

LOLOL! That is SO FUNNY!

Mrs. D, I think you may as well just give it up and feed the squirrel. In fact, I found the perfect squirrel feeder for you.

The Squirrel Go Round, 2nd on on the page, LOL. http://www.heritagefarms.biz/squirrelfeeders/

This is one of the squirrel feeders my dad uses, the Squirrel Hopper. His is a single though, only room for 1 ear of corn. It's absolutely hilarious to watch them eat from it.

For Mr. D and Mrs. D. LOLOL!!!!

Oh Doody you made my day! Estimated street value...lolololol. My kids are behind me on the bed laughing at me laughing at you. Just wait till I got to page two and show them the Star Wars squirrels...I'll have to call 911

That is so funny, Doody.

You know we put out goodies for those squirrels.. old cereal, stale nuts,
etc. They are very well fed! But this one must be a decendent of "MA"..
that was a female from several years ago who nested in a hole in the big oak
tree off our front stairs (we live on a high hill). She was very tame, and
even followed us into the living room if we weren't careful. She was nice, polite and my hubby was fond of her. Her decendants are very strong, healthy
critters as a result of our generosity so we have only ourselves to blame!

LMAO! That is SO cute and so funny!

In honour of this thread, I have changed my avatar from the photo of the chickadee on my hand.

I took this photo last Christmas when I was visiting my parents. They decorate a tree outside on their balcony with strings of peanuts in the shell and suet balls ......... for the birds. The squirrels think the peanuts are for them, however, and they just sit there in the center of the tree and stuff themselves.

One year when I was at my parents place near a lake in the summer, I was going outside late at night and something shot past my head in the dark. I pointed the flashlight in the direction 'it' went and I was most surprised to see a squirrel hugging the tree behind me! We never knew there were flying squirrels out there and it had to have soared from far away as there weren't any trees in front of me.
