Rufus and Reece: We know we are not full-time members of the Poupounette Gang but we do feel that we belong with the Gang, and wanted to express our thankfulness at this. You see, not a lot of people care about us squirrels. As red squirrels, we're more popular in France than our much-maligned grey brothers in England or across the big waters, but not many people take the trouble to actually look after us.
So thanks for the walnuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds and even occasional pears or apples!
Here's a rare picture of the two of us (we tend to fight if we're at the feeder together...)
And thanks for being our friends!
We think our squirrels are thankful too as Mom puts out food for them :)
ReplyDeleteGood to see you two enjoying your goodies :)

it is soo nice to see a NICE post about squirrels for a change! I LOVE THEM! I used to feed a family of red squirrels that lived in our ROOF here in Michigan. That is, until our apartment/condo complex made me stop feeding them :(
ReplyDeleteRed squirrels are getting rarer in the UK as the grey ones are taking over. There are still quite a lot though in Bradgate Park which is near to our home.

Our mom wanted to say, she is entering you into our giveaway since its for everyone. She ships overseas all the time because she supports a couple girls in school.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the squirrels - reds are rarer these days. Dare we hope for some baby squirrels one day soon?
ReplyDeleteYou are much cuter than ours with those fabulous ears! Although we do love our squirrels here at the Swamp! It's the raccoon that I'm not nuts about. Nuts. Get it? hahaha!
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful with your reddish coloration!
ReplyDeleteOur head peep once hand-raised an orphaned gray squirrel. Her cats at the time were sure it was just being prepared for their future dinner, but he was eventually released by a volunteer to a safe location. So we have a soft spot for squirrels... and not just because they are a favorite visitor to our Bird TV!
So very cute!
ReplyDeleteyou boys are handsome. we have a couple of squirrels that show up on our balcony and make Junior chatter :)
ReplyDeleteCe que vous êtes beaux tous les deux.
ReplyDeleteJ'aime beaucoup les écureuils, mais il n'y en a plus par ici. Problème de chats et de martres.

We enjoy these pics immensely. Our Mommy feeds the red (or grey) squirrels at our house, too.
ReplyDeleteWe love squirrel TV over here! My human does not see the fox squirrels here often enough to know where to put out food for them - but we certainly watch them often!
ReplyDeleteYou two are lovely in your red furs! We have squirrel antics over here which we watch through our picture windows.
ReplyDeleteThey look well fed too :)
the critters in the cottage xo
We only have grey squirrels here and they come and eat the peanuts from the bird feeders. I chatter at them when they do that.
ReplyDeleteOnce in a while we will see a red squirrel on our walks, but we have very few squirrels around our house. The trees aren't big enough to entice them to come there. You are very kind to treat them so well.

ReplyDeleteWe is sorry the Mom is late in helping to answer our blog comments. She's a mad person mixing up lotions, salves and whatever else she makes fer her big convention next month.
Fanks fer stoppin by!
We are totally delighted to be your friends. Absolutely adorable and delightful, you are. Do you think your amazing earsies might be considered frootbats?
ReplyDeleteHi Rufus and Reece,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see you are getting lots of care and are a part of the gang. It's fun to see your photos today. How lovely they feed you and you put on a show the Chans! What a great deal for everyone!
