They all look so big & strong! You must have the healthiest, happiest squirrels on the East Coast 🐿🐿🐿 At first, I thought the youngster might be the only taker because the others are older & have just become set in their tastes with more familiar nuts. But then along came Bram & some of the other regulars & in they tuck 🤷🏼 I guess macadamia nuts must just be a love/hate food for squirrels 🥜🐿 Thanks for sharing ❤ I hope all is well on your side of the window in the run up to Christmas🎄

Kiara is so sweet, hanging back so as to not make the squirrels nervous. I've noticed with my squirrel friends that some are picky eaters. Have a blessed day. :)

[@Markworth]

It's very interesting to see how varied the squirrels are with their preferences. For some reason, it seems unusual that one squirrel would like something and another wouldn't, but it's clearly the case. I happen to agree with Earl. Macadamia nuts are pretty good.

Oh, these squirrels are just too adorable! And your kitty is so caring towards them. I don't think the squirrels will manage to crack the macadamia nuts, even though they have very powerful lower jaw muscles. They seem to eagerly take the shelled nuts though. Thank you for taking care of these little fluffballs!

I have a baby squirrel that comes to my window that wouldn't touch the macadamia nuts because he wasn't familiar with them yet. They only get them as a special treat around Christmas. Anyway I put a little almond butter on it knowing he would accidently take a bite. I was right and he loves them ever since. As much as my little ones trust me I am glad they have some fear for the unknown. It helps keep them safe!

Telling squirrels apart is like telling identical twins apart. The more time I spend with them the more I notice unique features and behaviors. I have a video about it if you would like to learn more about how I tell my squirrels apart: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moOzoq2Xn9hqjac

I have a feeling the squirrels will like macadamia nuts as soon as they're not 'new', maybe if you mix them in with the more familiar varieties 😊🐿

[@EmariesSquirrelyPatio]

I’ve tried a few nuts as well. Mine love walnuts, pecans, almonds and peanuts but I got a huge no from them when I offered chestnuts. They didn’t care for pistachios or cashews either. Yesterday I gave my tamest little girl Snoot a Brazil nut and she was in heaven. She sat there eating it making little smacky num num noises as I chatted with her. Afterwards I wanted to kick myself for forgetting to take my phone out. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough she might come around for another one today.

[@keitaro373]

Just wanted to say I'm a huge fan of your channel! You inspired me to start befriending the squirrels in my area, and I've always been an avid druid in nature ^_^ My squirrels LOVE pistachios and sometimes chase eachother away to hog them all 😅😂

Macadamias are really expensive. Nuts are, in general, but so is everything. I feed squirrels regular bagged roasted peanuts and even they are about $5/lb

I fed these along with walnuts and almonds to my two fox squirrel buddies. They ate them for the first few days and then never again.

I tried feeding the local squirrels macadamias, too, with mixed results. I'm sticking with walnuts.

[@BetsyL-cq6wx]

I haven't seen any of your darlings eating the macadamias, just taking off with them. Most likely they are hiding them in hopes you will put out the good stuff. The little grey squirrel we had use to hide what he didn't want. One night I heard my husband using expletives and I turned on the light as he took a piece of broccoli out from under his pillow. Well, we knew who put that there.😖 Any way HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours and all your fur-babies!! Thank you for making my day a better one!

[@nikiTricoteuse]

My absolute favorite nuts. Chocolate covered nuts imported from Australia used to be a regular at Christmas here in Aotearoa New Zealand but, for some reason, l haven't seen them for a few years. Miss them geaps. Can't say l blame the squirrels for choosing the already shelled ones as the shells on macadamias are a nightmare.

[@greendragon4165]

I love Macadamia, so delicious! Be careful their shell is the most durable in the world, I'm not sure that squirrels will crack it.

[@PeterSmith-bj4ml]

Macadamias are native to Eastern Australia, of course, although grown in other countries now. So, as has been said, not a nut they usually encounter. Soon used to them.

[@helenaberg3828]

Love!

[@iceflame3300]

Just a note... Macadamia nut shells are (probably) the hardest known..... I pounded on one with a hammer ans ended up with a crater in concrete.... shell hadn't cracked yet... .

Hello thank you for your videos, they are lovely. I have a question about an older video where you mentioned one of your squirrels had a neurological disorder, how did you know that besides the symptoms that were displaying? Did a veterinarian tell you? Also the squirrel that is gone from a hawk attack, did you see that happen yourself or did someone tell you?

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

I think that squirrel (BB) had roundworm, and I did see the hawk on top of him. I ran outside to save him but it was too late. Usually vets don't deal with wildlife.
