Chattering teeth to intimidate. Lol it's like, you hear these teeth? That could be YOU in between these teeth. 😂

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

Lol 😂 Thank you for your funny comment 😊❤️

[@Oakleaf700]

@@Squirrels_at_the_window I have seen dogs drop a squirrel that has been caught- the squirrel reaches round and bites the dog on the cheek and sometimes this causes the dog to drop the squirrel so it can run to safety. Squirrel's teeth are formidable tools.

I have a squirrel that roams in my backyard and delighted to see come back after I fed it some pistachios and walnuts

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

That's very nice. It's similar to how my squirrely story started, 3 years ago I threw one almond to a squirrel passing by my window and now I have around 20 squirrels who come to my window every day 😊🪟🐿️ Thank you for your comment and for sharing this ❤️

[@joep5448]

They can't resist pistachios, I'm telling you! 😂 I don't blame them one bit! They are delicious

[@abbeysonic]

The danger call is what I hear almost all the time in my backyard. Thought it was a bird at first, with chirping sounds coming before the short cry they give. Then I saw all the squirrels in the trees and decided to come here. Glad I finally know what's making all the racket, haha

I'm very glad it was helpful 😊

Literally me and my girl right now

[@SunshineEquine]

Cute! I rehab squirrels and I can tell you they all make the purring sound...it's a nervous/unsure noise, and often times they'll make it before they sound the alarm call! 😊

[@Jdwify]

Squirrels are so freaking cute to watch.

[@crowboutique6694]

I had a squirrel in my yard this morning purring! It's such a sweet sound. I didn't know they could even do that!

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

It's very cool indeed 😊

[@fozziebean]

Do you think the squirrel was happy or afraid?

[@Lizzy_333]

How cute! I didn’t know they could purr either! 🥰

[@Taricus]

@@fozziebean They do it when they are content. It's called "bruxing"

[@ShoobsASMR]

I captured and rescued a beautiful little squirrel a few hours ago. his legs were paralyzed and was in bad shape, i gained his trust eventually and he let me put him in a box with warm towels. took him to the wildlife veterinary hospital and the rest is unknown. i hope he is doing ok, and if not - i hope hes resting peacefully. he made a few of these noises and it was ADORABLE. miss him already!

[@cherylreichardt]

All of these sounds are so familiar to me. In my yard, it's mostly to warn of the cats that come to feed! The squirrels are so unique with those sounds! 🐿👍

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

They are indeed very unique 😊🐿️

[@leejones7439]

Whenever I feed squirrels and I hear the warning sound, I check out the area. I have saved many squirrels by making my presence known to the birds of prey.

[@trollpatrol8453]

I have bonfires in my yard, pretty much year round. Obviously when it’s above freezing during the winter. I could hear a purring coming from my tree. I kept looking waiting to see eyes from a cat. After examining, getting closer, it was right under my squirrels home. I assume it was catching some of the heat and was happy for it. We became friends the next summer, after she quit barking at me for doing yard work 😂

[@arosebailey]

The first two, the warning calls about potential danger and then about other critters danger, is EXACTLY what I just heard in my backyard while my two pups were outside. I have been wondering what this sound was because I’ve heard it out in front of my house too (where the neighbors two cats prowl). I, like other commenters thought it was a bird this whole time. I stood out back for awhile and FINALLY located the source of the sound and I was surprised to see it was a squirrel sitting on a tree right above where my dogs were hanging out. I came to KZbin to try to determine what the sounds meant and now it all makes sense! Hahaha. Thanks for the informative and cute video!

[@ta-tiabnat-perez5946]

Exactly....I had to pinpot it also and I learned the HAWK was in my yard.....Lil smart guys🐿🐿 Warning,💖

[@MoviesMoveMe]

There's a squirrel on my patio right now making that sound. He's just sitting still on my patio chair, making that same sound about every six seconds. @@ta-tiabnat-perez5946

[@alexsanabria9194]

You right!! I feed the squirrels in my yard. One was eating very relaxing.. I played this sound in my cellphone and the squirrel put turbo 🏃🏻‍♀️💨 😂😂

[@davew6998]

How nice it is to hear another squirrel making the purring sound. It's like when a tiger makes a chuffing sound, for a greeting. I have a squirrel that makes the same noise as she pokes her head around the wall to see me sitting at my front door. She will then run a straight line directly to me for some nuts. So I like to think it's a greeting or a happy sound. You have to love the squirrels. XX

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

That's cute 😊

[@barbaraelliott3642]

I think that's exactly what that purr sounds means, "Happy to see you because I trust you'll feed me and not harm me"

[@4miyahart]

All squirrels will purr like that...they do it when they are happy and content. Mine will do it when they want to play. Love the video. I have actually used it a couple of times for young rescues. They know each others calls so having a different "voice" just helps to teach them.

[@tommycontino3879]

Thanks for your video. I have 6 squirrel feeders on the side of my house right outside my window. And they bring me such enjoyment to watch them frolic all day.❤❤❤

[@coreybell1402]

I have a baby Squirrel and he purs quite often. I think it's because they're happy.

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

[@FallingRocksFPV]

Ive raised one as well and that purring noise is for sure nervousness or excitement.

[@johntate5050]

0:42 A squirrel walked past me, stopped, looked at me and then climbed to the top of an ivy covered telegraph pole and started making that sound. I now know it was telling every other squirrel that I was there.

[@sqrrlgrl66]

As a squirrel rehabber, mostly with little red squirrels, it's interesting how each species makes the different sounds. I had two reds that did their 'purring' sound, was like people doing a 'raspberry' 😋

[@karenbarbato1151]

My squirrel friend Strix also makes this sound and seems to do it when he is happy. I love the squirrels!!

[@OnceUponaSquirrel50]

This is a great video! The fox squirrels that hang around with me make many of the same sounds. I hear the teeth chattering as well. A couple females I've seen chatter their teeth as well as make a grunting sound when another squirrel comes near as they are eating. Sometimes, especially when I don't have the food ready for them fast enough, they chatter the teeth at me! LOL. They are amazing and wonderful animals. Every minute I spend with them is a true gift.

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

I also noticed they chatter their teeth at me when they seem frustrated 😄 They are indeed amazing and so very cute, funny and smart ❤️🐿️ Thank you for your lovely comment 😊

[@sgtango4310]

You can actually call them by rubbing 2 quarters together. It sounds like a squirrel chewing nuts

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

@@sgtango4310 Thank you for sharing this. My squirrels usually come running to the window as soon as they see me at the window 😊🐿️🪟

[@hollyhayes9640]

The teeth chattering is called "bruxing". It typically means that they're happy. My pet rats did it a lot. I believe that this is common to all/most rodents. 🐿️

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

@@hollyhayes9640 Teeth chattering (bruxing) for squirrels means that they are trying to intimidate/warn another squirrel not to approach, they do that when they have food and don't want to share.

[@doctortrax]

Thank you for this. I was just in the garden and I could hear a squirrel making noises in next door's garden and it was sounding like distress. But no, it's just a warning call about danger. Probably because s/he could see me through the hedge - even though I'm the nice human that leaves them tasty nuts to eat! The crying stopped when I moved back to the house as well, and they are fairly unconcerned about our two cats. I'm also sure I've heard them purr before, because I remember thinking "wait, is that squirrel PURRING?!" and according to this, my ears weren't deceiving me!

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

I'm very glad it was helpful, thank you for your comment 😊❤️

[@whiteysmit6653]

I see them everyday but squirrels bring me great joy. Such an interesting creature.

[@Stormwriter]

I always talk about the first one, which I've read is used more for aerial predators. The siren-type call starts out softer, and increases like a siren. As opposed to the sharp KUK KUK QWAA sounds, which are easier to pinpoint the squirrel and "localizes" their position. The siren doesn't have sharp sounds, so it's harder to locate them. Remember, birds can come pick them out of the branches, so they aren't 100% safe in trees. This sound is often accompanied with the squirrel being still, and not shaking its tail to visually warn their friends, because once again - they don't want to give away their position to an aerial predator.

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

Interesting information, thank you for sharing this. 😊

[@HisWordisLife4U]

I vote for nervous. Her body language is nervous not happy. I also love the way squirrels curl their little hands to their chest. Love watching them. So sweet thank you.

I’m watching this video while sitting on my back porch, and just heard a squirrel in the flowerbeds warning of a predator in the area. A few minutes after the warning stops, I look up to see a red-shouldered hawk fly out of the woods and up over the roof of the house! Absolutely incredible!!

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

Oh my goodness, thank you SO much. I have a family of squirrels living in the forestry area next to my home, & yesterday one of them was making a sound for over half an hour, I figured it was due to the cat in my garden. The moment I shook the bag of peanuts the cat scarpered, & the squirrel tracked the cat until it disappeared, which made me giggle, as if to say ‘YEH! Do one! This is MY yard!’ - I put my peanuts out & watched as each one came down to bury their peanuts in my garden (I believe I have more peanuts in my garden than grass seeds at this point!! 😂💗) They just started up again with another cat who likes to sleep quietly in my garden, I don’t have the heart to scare this one so it will have to figure it out (they have plenty of places to play and roam until the kitty moves!) but I thought I’d look up the sound. It was the first one, but my goodness, much much louder! You have cute little squirrels 🥰 xx

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

Thank you 😊❤️ Usually cats don't try to get the squirrels, but squirrels do have many other predators.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

@@Squirrels_at_the_window Agreed, I’ve had cats my entire life, far too slow to catch these little ones lol! The cats coming into my garden don’t even notice them. Neighbours likely think I’m mad as I’m talking to the squirrels ‘He’s not going to get you, you’re too fast!’ ‘Look, come and get your peanuts!’ - & the conversation goes on, I suppose that’s what you get for living on your own 🤣 I grew up on a farm surrounded by nature, so moving here was quite a treat (I’m disabled, so I moved into a ground floor property / we call them bungalows here in the UK) as it’s not really built up! I’ve got hedgehogs, many species of birds, lots of insects, squirrels & the neighbourhood cats. That’s about it! So they’re safe. Just vocal baby’s lol. How long have yours been visiting you? ☺️ x

[@Durpydurp4488]

This is very helpful to me. I’m rehabbing baby squirrels who are almost ready for release. One of them makes more noise than all the others. I’ve heard almost all of these from her and now I know what they mean. She’s doing the predator warning now (it’s new for her) and it’s because my cats are staring at the squirrel cages.

[@jadedenthusiasms]

This was so great!! Wow, you sure have a bunch that come to visit you!! We heard one today and i fully thought it must be a bird, but still a baby, but big enough to really complain :) But all I saw was a cute little squirrel! We're moving into a rental home amd I was worried I'd lose my birds and squirrels, but, happily did not. But he was on the neighbors yard and real high up , I was worried he was injured, but I couldn't reach him if I'd tried, but I didn't try as I didn't want to scare him more. So, this is the first article/video I found that helped! That first one was exactly it!! So, when we come back for good, almost🙄😊😬, I'll be wanting to put in a bird bath with a bit of spray... when my sun conure was alive 😢I couldn't keep her out of the faucet anytime doing the dishes... but also bird feeders od course.... but I'd also love to kinda, put out a tray of good food for the squirrels too... although it must be affordable, so we'll see😊 But, thanks for the help!! I appreciate it very much!!

I'm homeless and my darling Sidney god rest his soul was abandoned by his mum ... he fell out a tree onto my bed when I was sleeping in a park.... he chose to stay with me I never had a cage or anything and grew up with me whilst still having the freedom of a wild squirrel but keeping rhe protection of having me too.... so you can only imagine the very close bond we shared with each other that was totally & completely trusting of each other .... he used to make the purring sound allll the time .... I think you haven't heard another one because I'm guessing you have a special relationship with purry more so than the others ... so feel extremely happy & extremely blessed because I'm certain the meaning behind you hearing that is a very very special one that's preserved only for the rare times squirrels and humans are friends ❤❤❤

my puppy grabbed and was running around my yard with a 3 week old fox squirrel, I tried finding the mother to give him back but she never came. so I raised him, his little eyes and ears opened up and everyday I brought him outside to view other squirrels and he seemed to understand what his instincts were to bury things and soak up the sun and drink water from the river. but now I haven't seen him for two weeks. I read online end of September beginning of October they fully leave their mothers to do adult things and prepare for winter. he'd pur like that every morning I'd wake him up to go outside. hope he's doing good winter prep boy stuff and making friends.

[@lynndunford3097]

Thank you so much for this video. Last spring/summer I started to feed a squirrel by hand, he/she is back this year I think it's the same one. These past few times it's taken the peanut from my hand it would make this noise that I could only describe as a 'wet fart' sound lol. It looks directly at me when it does this. I've searched online for a meaning but couldn't find one, until I came across your video, and there is the noise, you call it purring, and it does sound like that now. I don't know what it could mean either, the squirrel swishes it's tail when it does it, and as I said looks at me lol. By the way, I live in East London.

That first noise - I think that was the sound I heard this morning, except it was more projected out of an open mouth, rather than a closed-mouth whine.

I witnessed a bird and squirrel communicating. Not a lie. I was on a 2nd story balcony of my then girlfriends apartment. I watched a squirrel being chased up a tree by a cat. It got up to a branch about my level. The squirrel was making this squeak noise kind of like a bird chirp. Over and over. It was aboviously in distress. All the while the cat was in the bushes below. 30 seconds later a bird swooped in onto a branch a little higher up on the next tree. The bird was chirping nonstop. The squirrel made its noise some more. Then all of a sudden the bird swooped down at the cat but not all the way down. The cat moved 5 feet right through the bushes. The bird came back down towards the cat and the cat moved 10 feet the other way. While that was happening the squirrel was jumping trees in the opposite direction. It was definitely a situation where the bird and squirrel were working together so the squirrel can make an escape. The bird was not only trying to scare the Cat but it looked as if he/her was showing the squirrel where the cat was. In the end the squirrel made it to a utility pole and ran the wires across the street to the other side onto a tree there and the bird took off after that. Before anybody asks why I didn't video this. It was 2006 before I had a phone with a good camera.

So I have actually heard sounds somewhat similar to the purring one, but just one or two "purr" clicks at a time. I call this "snorting," and it is a sound squirrels make when they are really happy/excited (usually to get food). They have to trust you in order to make it.
