😂. We all have a bit of squirrel in us I guess.

@@mixer6166for sure. After 10 cups of coffee I'm hopping around like one of this little guys, don't know what to do first....😆😆

Building a cathedral is a life long dream of mine. I just love all of them, especially the gothic ones. This one is loosely based on Salisbury Cathedral. I would have liked to build a proper stone one but that takes about 300 years. So I decided to convert the kids playhouse which was and still is just used for storage. I built it in small sections that can be removed in winter. Another sort of rule I have is that I only use scrap wood and scrounged parts and paints for all my projects, like the piano and the feeders. The cathedral was once a big Ikea desk I pulled out of the garbage up the street. I've been working away at it in pieces over the last 2 years and the next step is a bell tower and steeple. lol. I already have the wood. Can you imagine Boomers in the bell tower?

@@mixer6166 I am in genuine awe of your craftsmanship. I would love to see boomers in the bell tower!

@@mixer6166 I wondered what that construction was too. It's so cool that you based it Salisbury Cathedral. I live in England and have visited this wonderful building. I too love Gothic architecture and have done since I was a kid. Total respect to you for your dedication in constructing your mini Cathedral.

@@thedativecase9733 I visited there as well in 2010. It's stunning, even with scaffolding on one side when I was there. Very difficult to rank cathedrals as they are all special but Salisbury would be top 3 for me. I read Ken Follet's World Without End and Pillars of the Earth before I visited. Those novels are based on that cathedral so it was really amazing to see it in person. I felt like I helped build it after reading those books. LOL! Plus a copy of the Magna Carta and tons of important people resting there. I would go again in a heartbeat.

There are lots of squirrel lovers all over the internet, and all over the world. I used to think I was pretty much alone in my admiration for these beautiful, comical critters.

That pestering of mum to join in the play seems to be a general thing with baby animals. I've seen baby badgers in the UK and baby groundhogs doing the same thing. Mums usually have the same response. The baby badgers were the funniest taking a massive run-up to bump into mum.

There was a cartoon I watched as a kid called Rocky and Bullwinkle. Rocky was a squirrel and Bullwinkle was a moose. Rocky could fly and wore a scarf so that’s kind of superheroish. 😂

@@mixer6166 I remember that. And he wore flying goggles sometimes.

@@mixer6166 I remember Rocky and Bullwinkle. Great cartoon, excellent writers though I didn't realise how good until I re-watched them as an adult. All squirrels are secret superheroes, they all have the superhero pose.

@@thedativecase9733 Agreed! 😂

That's actually the warning call they use for each other when they see a cat. Funny story, today when I was finishing the editing, I was sitting outside and when this part played the squirrels in the yard all ran for the trees. I have to do a clip showing that. It's hilarious! That's funny, Wookie. Also heard he sounds like the penguin from Batman.,

He is cute ☺.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes editing takes a while lol. Blonde tail is new but I’ve had them before. Wait until you see the new baby red squirrel. I think those two reds are playing or doing a cleaning. I didn’t see any funny business. Not that I was trying to watch that. 😂

@@mixer6166 Your hard work is very much appreciated! Ugh, I'm editing right now myself. I ask about the outro because I recently posted a short showing some similar behavior. Commenters have made some squirrelly remarks, but it looks like the "attacking" squirrel in my footage is female, possibly very young. I just can't tell!

Yes. I’m good and thanks for asking. Just had a lot on the plate. New video coming today. 🙂

@@mixer6166 No hurry! I'm very happy you are well. And I hope you're not too close to those wildfires...

@@thesuburbanmorrigan Not close but had a lot of smoke in the air last week. It’s gone for now.

@@mixer6166 We had a few hazy days, patches of smoke, and a purple air quality alert down here in the mid-Atlantic.

I designed and built it myself. It’s documented in SL 7&8. I think I finally have a reliable version after about 50 upgrades. 😂

@Mixer 61 You definitely should market it or sell the plans. I don't have Boomers here, but I have a lot of squirrels that need to slow down their nut consumption rate. I had a woman ask if it was normal for a squirrel to be at the slider looking inside. Yup, she and my cat have a weird bond. 😆

Never tried mealworms. Hazelnuts here cost about 8 dollars a pound. You have a great deal there.

All the squirrels here in Ontario grow long fur in the winter and then shed it in the spring. It makes it hard to tell who’s who when they keep changing fur. Lol. Also didn’t know black squirrels weren’t more common in the world. We have more blacks than greys I would say.

@@mixer6166 Ontario Canada I'm guessing buddy? I have the same with mine. In winter they get a thicker darker coat and it does get difficult to tell who's who sometimes but if you've got them used to a name you have given to them. I find they tend to only come if you shout the right name. Or what I do is suck your teeth noise whilst opening and closing your lips. They come running even park squirrels

@@mixer6166 sorry yes mate I've seen red squirrels in Formby and Cumbria and Scotland but not England and definitely never seen a black squirrel. Really nice looking squirrel though. I've even had the odd fox squirrel with the ginger under furry

@@macdapimp83 Yes, Ontario Canada. I’ll have to try your techniques!

Funny how they like the nuts in order of price! Lol

@mixer6166 Actually I put out lots of PEANUTS, in shell, and ALWAYS they hit those first, as they Shred the shells!

Like a buzz saw!
