Bear Simone & cubs get lucky this time

I'd forgotten about the seed-covered suet ball and didn't have the heart to take down the bird feeder. Overall, a pretty good haul for Simone.
Yes, in the future I'll be more diligent about removing food sources. Let's just say I wanted to see how this would play out.
Great audio of the cubs. Both very vocal this time, especially the greedy one!

At this time she's still nursing them and teaching them what to eat, and not, in the woods nearby. On the menu, insects, larvae, grasses, roots, succulents, whatever is available. Soon, they'll eat the first berries and nuts. Later still, acorns from the numerous oak trees. It's what helps them put on weight before winter. And naturally, small animals whenever they get the chance - rodents, moles, &c.

[@adrestianyx7441]

He likely fed them before in that spot a few times to earn their trust. It's similar to what people do on those tourist boats, it's called "chumming" to get whales, even sharks to appear in the same spots on their rides. It's not great in my opinion, because then the Mother or animal that is trusting to get food in that spot the entire time might lose their natural instinct to hunt on their own, and when the human who has been feeding them eventually isn't there anymore, they might wait around for food and end up having additional issues. I think it's fine if the animal is taken in from the wild because it wouldn't have survived on it's own or where it was and they nurture it and just keep them, but just for temporary it's not good because you are essentially tricking them into thinking that will be a food source forever.

[@adrestianyx7441]

Following up on my comment. I noticed a tag of some kind on Mom's upper right ear, so she and the babies may be watched and kept track of for a specific reason when they are out in the wild which is a good thing... it means perhaps there was a health issue, or some other issue where this man stepped in to help them through it, but still allows them to go back naturally into the woods. Only my guess.

[@aphyngodiva2551]

@@adrestianyx7441 I'm not sure if this person has ever fed them intentionally, but definitely has unintentionally with the bird feeders as seen in this video, and bears are smart, often it can only take them getting a high value reward once for them to remember a place has a great source of food, such as cars, camps, and houses. This bear is definitely canvasing houses for food and has learned human habitations = food (particularly watch the very end, how she leaves walking along the backyard fences, definitely canvasing the neighborhood), probably why it is tagged, I'd bet money it is a "problem bear", and sadly her cubs are going to become the same... Even sadder, human habitations aren't meant to support one bear, let alone three, so if both cubs survive into adulthood they will most likely escalate in behavior ie breaking into houses, and this could lead to them being euthanized if it becomes a recurring problem. Relocated bears will still return, while they will still try it, it isn't effective. If their local wildlife control has the funds they can do hazing which is often more effective, but doesn't always work.

As fun as it is for humans to rag on humans' inconsiderate nature, if the bear could not get at what she was after by nudging and prodding the bird feeder, she would have pulled it down from it's hanger and torn it apart, if that was necessary to get at what ever food she smelled. She isn't being polite, she is being efficient - the most amount of reward for the least amount of effort.

The mama bear and her babies are so very precious. What a pleasure it is to watch them.

[@christinematson3803]

I had a similar experience with a mama bear and 3 Cubs in NH until one day when her Cubs were a little bigger and they were “bulking up” for winter that she and her Cubs attempted to break into my kitchen. She got her long claws into a crack in the window and with her incredible strength broke a large window. I had to fight her back by hitting her on her nose. Yes the are gorgeous until you experience their strength in an unwanted way. Be careful! Keep all your windows closed and LOCKED.

I live in NH we had 2 break ins recently in our area, they just walked right in the house, but then back out no one was hurt, they’re very clever will open unlocked doors and windows which have the smell of food waft out of them.

Wow absolutely evil you do not deserve the honor of being in the presence of such a precious magnificent beautiful animals! I hope she or her precious babies never came near you again!

You’re so privileged to have such beautiful visitors 😍. We don’t have bears in the UK sadly.

That's a good thing hate to break it to you but life isn't a Disney movie those things are just as likely to take your arm or face than just hang out.

[@barbarakb8847]

The baby bears sound just like kids fussing! It’s amazing how the mamas trust you-even turning their backs to you while the babies are right there! I’m in awe!

She's so gentle with the feeder, doesn't destroy it. She's eating for 3 so I couldn't take it away either lol ❣️

I have never heard a cub cry before so that was special. The cubs are so cute, hard to imagine that they will grow to be a size comparable to Simone. They are just adorable right now.

[@kingdom8942]

I am happy that there are people like you in the world who are pleased to let you visit from time to time by these wonderful creatures.

[@heatherdequetteville9184]

I,m not. They need to be relocated to the wild, as far away as they can be. They are dead bears walking. Save them by not feeding them.

[@kingdom8942]

@@heatherdequetteville9184 don't worry, they are well protected and know where to look for food and eat. 😄 Until now the only cause of their death is human beings who have no feelings.

[@kathryngeeslin9509]

@@heatherdequetteville9184 "To the wild" and "far away". Just where would that be? You do know humans are erasing the wild, destroying habitat, moving in and taking over, right? Right?

[@heatherdequetteville9184]

@@kathryngeeslin9509 Here in Canada we have the habitat. The issue becomes the money to capture and relocate. We have a vigorous wildlife service, and experts in every endangered species. I agree with you. Humans are pushing them further and further away. We have a large uninhabited land mass. Polar bears , to my mind, are the most endangered, because of polar ice melting. They are magnificent and no one wants them gone. They are also , arguably, the most dangerous mammal. Hope this answers your concern. 🙂👵

[@kathryngeeslin9509]

@@heatherdequetteville9184 Yes. You still have space. My area has more space than most, but that's changing. And I fully agree with you about polar bears, but the poor things will likely be gone before we do anything about warming.

I miss Milo! I bet he’s HUGE now though! He was adorable and funny as a youngster, and I hope he is still doing well.

[@PatrickConley]

He had a great personality when he was young, playful and outgoing. I'd love for him to visit.

[@thetooginator153]

@@PatrickConley - Me too! I was impressed with how you interacted with Milo. You let him touch your foot and nibble your knee, but you made sure Milo knew that your friendship with him had to be a little more distant. I felt that must have been a little sad for you. Milo is probably like any other adult male bear now, but who knows? He may still have his wonderful, playful and gentle personality!

[@jerrypolverino6025]

I had a black bear female that brought her cubs to my porch in Western Virginia. I live at the top of a mountain. I really love watching them. Mine come at night. You are lucky to have them in the light of day.

[@zeus6793]

I still cannot get over her being so close to you with her cubs. It goes against everything we have all heard all our lives. And yet.....here she is, without a care in the world, letting her cubs wander close to you, and she just taking over the porch. What a wonderful experience you have.

[@michelangelobuonarroti916]

The difference being that in this case mama bear knew where the humans were, and the humans did not invade their space, as what happens with hikers. That, and the fact that the bears had been on that porch before.

[@zeus6793]

@Ellie5621 Grizzlies are a whole other story. I would imagine that would be a very bad place to be if that were a grizzly.

[@zeus6793]

@@michelangelobuonarroti916 Good point, but still pretty amazing. Not often a bear will trust a human that close to the cubs.
