Squirrel trapped in 'squirrel-proof' bird feeder! – Animal rescue

1. It should have been dispatched. It's illegal to release gray squirrels back into the wild even if accidentally caught. . They're registered as vermin , causing large amounts of damage to woodlands, including taking the eggs and chicks of song birds .In 50 years they've single handedly wiped out the native red squirrel from England and Wales. I suggest all you " wild life lovers " visit the Webb Site FRIENDS OF THE RED SQUIRREL, and learn more about this aggressive invasive species .

2. Cutest screams ;w;

3. My friend would always say how stupid squirrels are.
   Well, apparently squirrels are so smart that this one can (almost) get past a squirrel proof bird feeder!

5. Do you know these wooden boxes with a plastic front they sell as squirrel feed boxes? We got one, filled it with good intentions and nuts – and next day we found a young squirrel that had died in it, it obviously wasn't strong enough to open the lid from inside and maybe got a heart attack trying to get out in panic or idk…it was horrible. Now we got an open woodhousethingy where they can get in out as they want to, we love our squirrels!

6. I’m sure I can hear the squirrel says thank you just after getting released

7. Good job Saint Simon ❤️

8. When I was a child, my father actually came up with an ingenious solution: Take a large plastic bowl or glass lamp shade and hang it in a dome over top of and covering the top of the feeder. It was a safe and fairly effective way to keep them out, and made for some pretty funny entertainment watching them try. 😀

9. There is literally no such thing as as a squirell proof feeder. It's just not possible. XD

10. Thank you for helping it, wish the owners had put the cage on the ground…3 hrs is a lot of time to be hanging there.

11. Well done!l

12. ??

13. just let them have the seeds, squirrels need food to.

14. This squidge is so cute and adorable. The bird feeder wasn't very squirrel proof~! lol

15. I remember my grandmother (back when she didn't live with us) had a separate tray with various nuts in it for the squirrels and chipmunks that would come along. The squirrels wanted the bird seed sometimes, but they weren't a huge problem.

16. Great job helping this squirrel I like it when I see you guys helping British wildlife thanks for sharing this to the public

17. Why do humans like to feed birds but not squirrels?

18. Just stick a pole in the ground away from a tree and lubricate the pole no squirle problems and no chance of them getting hurt

19. Simon made short work of that, much to the little sweetie's relief. Cute fluffy little one he was. Lovely! Merry Christmas to all at WAF! ?✨ ❤️

20. Would have been hilarious if the squirrel was hanging around to try & get at the bird feed again. Then get stuck again and Simon gets called again a half-hour later.
    ?✌️?

21. Beautiful

22. Big Gray squirrel – why did they let an invasive species go? The BG's are displacing the native Reds. Should have eaten it instead.

23. Squirrels rule once you get to know them.

24. At least this squirrel didn’t try to run into the house like that one did
