indeed they are very cautious and worried of being trapped, but of course who wouldn't find this odd. If I suddenly found a steaming roast chicken sitting on a table on the sidewalk with a sign that said: "free just take it" regardless of how hungry I was I would think someone was trying to trick me too.

We have a mango tree in our yard. When the mangoes get ripe they fall to the ground ready to eat. I was in the house and saw a few fall so I looked around for a bag and went outside to pick them up and they were gone. I glanced down our yard and there goes two squirrels running down the fence with a whole yellow mango in their mouths, I wish I had my camera the mangoes were almost bigger than the little squirrels! I thought I would share how smart and comical they can be! 😂👍🏼

In Norway there's this little nursery song about a young squirrel, called "Nutbit Little". He's always late for school. Very cheeky, teasing miss Magpie. Half forgetting to have breakfast... Then munching two pine nuts. Before hopping and racing through the forest. Just making it to class on time. (It might be inspired by Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit and friends). Nameless squirrel could be an other Nutbit Little, I guess... 😉 ❤ from Oslo 🇳🇴

Good experiment. As for my crew, size matters. When there is a mixed nut pile, they will always grab the walnut first, then pecan, almond, and last, hazelnut. Brazil nuts if nothing else. Still always want peanuts. I think that is their comfort food. 😊

[@a_921]

Wonder if they simply think "larger nut, more food, better secure that one first", or if there is more to it.

[@annwilliams9214]

@@a_921 That's my guess

[@davidc5278]

That is exactly how my squirrels react too - walnuts, pecans, almonds and hazelnuts are tied, peanuts are like a comfort food - great way of putting it! And yeah, eventhough they could be sizable, Brazil nuts are dead last. My favorite squirrel, Clifford, will stop eating any nut for a walnut - she always throws that nut on the ground, grabs the walnut and seems to scream “Huzzah!”

I feed squirrels in my back yard, in a spot, just outside my back door. They don't even wait for me to put the peanuts down, so often, I just hold out the container and let them dive in headfirst for one or two and then they take off with their stash. One day, I stepped out, and one was sitting there, eating his peanut, watching me. I held up a walnut for him to see. lmao! It was so funny, he just STARED at that walnut as the peanut slipped, still half eaten, from his little paws. I gave it to him, right away. :)

A few years ago, the mother of a child we were caring for took him back "home" to New York. He left behind his hamster, Bendy. One night, in deep sadness, I emancipated Bendy, and bid her farewell, and safe travels. A night or two later she woke me by running on a large hamster wheel that I'd placed on a bookshelf, it was far too large for her cage. She came out every night, to a fresh salad I'd prepare for her, and run on that wheel till 5am, when I'd get ready for work. She built a little apartment in a closet dedicated to shoes and clothes that are no longer worn, and this lasted about a year and a half, until she finally failed to come out, I never saw her again. I never knew what great companions rodents can be. I am glad that I stumbled upon this channel, and I'm thankful for the kindness you show these little critters. Thank you.

This reminds me of an old Looney Toons cartoon "Much Ado About Nutting" (1952) where a squirrel in Central Park finds a corner stand with peanuts, then notices there are also Walnuts, then Brazil nuts, then an even a larger type of nut. Of course he goes for the biggest, but spends the rest of the cartoon trying to figure out how to crack it open.

[@jefforton9122]

Just like one of your other commenters suggested, it would be interesting to see the same experiment with shelled nuts. At the start, your test group were keen on the almonds & the pecans, the two that are probably the most ergonomic to fit in their mouths quickly, thus they can grab & go more easily. Later, once they’d determined the selection game wasn’t part of some trick by the Window Human, they became bold enough to take the time to get to grips with the walnut, whose shells have that lumpy/bumpy texture they can grip onto with their teeth more easily, but that they need time to manipulate to find the right spot & be comfortable. In it’s shell, the hazelnut is a much more regular, relatively smooth surfaced sphere & probably a little big for them to comfortably get in their mouths quickly. It’s also the smallest nut inside, so maybe they see it as least return on their investment of time & effort to get in. As ever though, your visitors are a joy to watch & their individual, unique & adorable personalities shine through. I wonder where the new, wannabe alpha from your last video was during your experiment though? But at least Jane was able to play without being harassed this time!
