My observation for park squirrels here in Southern CA is some reject peanuts, cashews or almonds but they all love walnuts and yes, indeed, sunflower seeds are popular. Thanks for this video.

[@YourNextCast]

This one was hilarious and a truly phenomenal set up. Always fun to watch the squirrels.

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

We love messing with our squirrels :-) Have a good one Titus!

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy Chris- watching your squirrels is some of the best entertainment I’ve ever seen. I think you got y’all’s a little bit spoiled. Thanks for sharing this. Take care and God bless y’all

What an awesome experiment 👍. Happy new year bro.

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thanks buddy...appreciate you! Happy new year to you as well :-)

[@CanoeingTheEdgeOfTheWorld]

This is a good video to silence the haters. The squirrels get plenty of grub from you guys (plenty of exercise too while trying to get to it) and this is a nice way to show the rascals your appreciation. Good way to assemble data also about which foods they prefer. I use to hand feed some squirrels on my back deck and for what it's worth they preferred peanuts over everything else. Pecans were their second choice as I recall. Nice video guys.

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Lol...o we'll never silence the snowflakes :-) I would have guessed peanuts / pecans but the ole Cajun squirrels proved me wrong! Happy New Year buddy!

[@xonx209]

Soon PITA will demand privacy for the squirrels and ask you to stop collecting data without consent.

[@JackPage570]

Lol the beginning😂😂😂

Love seeing Blue Jays. Squirrels are always fighting LOL

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Like a normal bar haha

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Oh man that’s awesome! Unique ideas as always and I am shocked they chose sunflower seeds over shelled pecans! Now I KNOW that they are crazy! I think this video is very captivating and hilarious!😂🤣🤣

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thanks brother! I know right...not even close...but sunflower seeds are cheap so that will save me a little $$$ on our future squirrel endeavors haha! Have a great day!

Very cool experiment brother! And you did a great job on the bar too! Really neat 😊👏👏👏👍

Hi Chris, Brilliant video and a wildlife survey as well. I was surprised to see the squirrels fight so much as there was plenty of food available. Great video Chris and a Happy New Year to you and your family. Cheers, Huw

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Howdy Mr. Huw...lol...like humans...I don't think it takes much to spark a squirrel scuffle :-) Happy New Year sir!

Oh my gosh! I don't know how I missed this!🤣

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Lol...its hard to keep up sometimes :-). Have a great weekend

[@KindWorld8]

They're fun to watch 😍

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

Haha that one chilling on the post. Think that lazy squirrel might be my spirit animal LOL. Oh my gosh they were so cute sitting on the bar stool!!! But good grief they have like no finesse. That extreme close up was amusing. What they ate was very interesting. I would have figured the nuts would have been more popular. Your cat made me laugh eating the corn. I had no clue that blue jays were such bullies. And a little greedy it seems. I also had no clue birds liked peanuts. I found that interesting. Great video as always.

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

lol...your spirit animal is a lazy squirrel...now that is NOT fake news haha! No eating finesse that's for sure :-) Hope all is well and Happy New Year!

Just when I think yall can't come up with anything more entertaining to do with your squirrels... I mean, I'm still partial to the squirrel catapult, but I think you're going to get a lot fewer hate comments with this one!😂 Great idea and great execution! Happy New Year to you and the fam Chris!

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Lol...we have a never ending list of squirrel shenanigans trust me :-) Oooooo...the haters don't scare me. Funny...on my catapult videos I get about 90% like and 10% dislike...but the 10% account for about 90% of the comments...especially on Facebook...typical keyboard warriors haha!

Being kinder to squirrels in 2021 😆. Although they can't sit together at the bar without fighting. Sounds like a real beer joint 🤣🤘

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Lol...looked like a real beer joint for sure! Have a good one buddy!

[@Tailracehero]

Great video my friend. I think it's only the right thing to do, to give the squirrels their own feeding station . .They have given your subs a lot of fun, and I'm sure they have boosted your sub numbers! Here in the UK, traditionally squirrels eat a lot of acorns. If you have Oak trees around your area, that may be worth a try . . Love your 'Blue Jays'. We don't have them here as far as I know. Those bright red birds are beautiful! We don't have them either. I get a lot of Starlings, Sparrows, Blue tits, greenfinches, Magpies etc at my bird feeding station, but they are quite boring compared to yours! Love what you built for them though . .kudos. Well done my friend. And a very Happy New Year to you and your family bro . . .

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Howdy Mr. Alan...Happy New Year sir! Yessir...our local squirrels are getting a short respite from our shenanigans :-) We have lots of oak trees as well but unfortunately Hurricane Laura blew most / all of the acorns off before they were 'ripe'. We love watching the birds for sure...have a great day!

[@AnglerSpeaks]

Very interesting !!! I am really surprised the squirrels felt safe on your property at all. I thought your cat may have hung out a little longer to get one of those Blue Jays !!! I hope viewers appreciated all the time you put in making the bar 👍🏻👍🏻

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Ooooo...these squirrels are spoiled and pampered :-) I think that silly cat would rather eat corn than a bird haha! Happy new year buddy!

[@coinslotsandjoysticks2572]

This video is awesome, lol

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Well thank ya sir!

[@tlojewelrylove]

Loved the video! 👍 Ironically, today I had my very first Red Bellied Woodpecker at my feeder alongside a couple Bluejays. You're right, the woodpecker is not intimidated at all by the bully Bluejays. LOL! Btw, your Woodpecker's head is red but he's a Red "Bellied" Woodpecker. The Redheaded Woodpecker's entire head is red and the Red Bellied Woodpecker's head looks like a red mohawk from beak to nape (like your bird) and the belly is a very pale red/orange as if it had a light dusting of rouge which makes it difficult to see unless they're hanging upside down. I've gotten into birding the last 2 years and use the Merlin bird identification app. It's very informative. Check it out if you have an interest. Thanks for sharing and showing how you made the squirrel bar and cute bar stools. 🙂

Your videos are hilarious man. I currently have black, red, grey and flying squirrels at my feeders and the red one is the smallest. He's also the bravest and will attack all of them. Muskoka ontario has many species. They are incredibly clever and keep me on my feet.

[@willjenkins6417]

Love it

[@casualcarolinafishing5835]

The only thing that actually surprised me was the sunflower seeds winning out over the peanuts. I would be curious if the pecans would stay near 21% if they weren't already shelled though. That said, I also bet they'd use the stools a lot more if they were just an inch or two higher so the squirrels didn't have to stretch out and reach so much to get into the cups from them. Was definitely fun to watch them and the jays/woodpecker bar fights too.😂

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Hmmmm....pecans in the shell...that would be an interesting experiment...shells vs no shells...noted :-) Yea if I were to make her again I'd do a few changes...I think height is ok but the stools bout 3" closer to the buckets would be the ticket I think. Thanks for stopping by!

[@channarosenblatt8197]

Hi, going by Mark Rober's excellent videos, I believe you may have left out the #1 favorite: Walnuts.

[@gregoryeditor6500]

Great video and editing. What kind of camera do you have? I had to take my platform window bird feeder off because the squirrels could get on it from the roof of my house. I bought a Nut Bar from Amazon. I will have my video up tomorrow. 439 likes now.

[@wildbynature3192]

Great experiment, the squirrels I feed like the seeds best too, but they also LOVE almonds, then pecans, The peanuts I give them in shell they take away and bury, but when I throw unsalted dry roasted peanuts without shell they eat right away. Also I noticed any nut in shell they take away and bury. Except the sunflower seeds. Thank you for the upload, really great video👍🏻🐿

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Hi thanks for stopping by! From many of the comments on this video....walnuts (not tested) are a squirrels favorite food by far....sooooooo....I'm currently working on an experiment comparing sunflower seeds and walnuts :-) We shall see!

[@wildbynature3192]

@@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors great, I look forward to watching it👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@getin3949]

It would be a very cold day before I would feed squirrels ANY kind of nuts. Cashews are $10 a pound as are almonds, pecans, etc...If I could afford to buy them they would go into my mouth, not theirs. I do love your videos and have enjoyed the laughs I've gotten from them. If you have any spare nuts left over you could send some of them to me. We don't get good pecans up here in the North and I can't afford them. Thank you for the laughs, you're a cool guy with a great sense of humor.

"We feed them like this..."😅 "Similar to a human bar..." 🤣😂...is there an award for the "good squirrels" sitting on the bar stools? 😂🤣😅...Corn instead of cat food 😅🤣😂😋...A bonus bird cam how fabulous!!!!It's only just gone 2021 and I'm already saying this is the video of the year!!!

I always have peanuts between my windows so they can clan climb up and eat. I do that since I surprised a mother and four Cubs between my windows. Not only she brought leaves and mod, she even brought a rag four her babies to come. And yes. I notice that they love pecans more than peanuts which by the way, they often eat it on the spot. I have to clean it up all the time.
