This is a story about an enchanting Gray Squirrel we call "The Funny Man". I found this squirrel when he was a newborn on my neighbor's driveway. We raised him and let him go. He still comes to visit us just about every day. Here is a short documentary about how this little soul weaved his way into our hearts.

Wow I mean........just wow. Now that's a real man. A big strong man, that has respect for all God's creatures. SO much to take away from this lovely story. What an absolutely amazing story of love, trust, companionship and testament to the sentiment "If you love something set it free. If it comes back it's yours. If it doesn't it never was". The fact that they were so unselfish and even though it was so hard for them to let him go, hearing him calling out to the other squirrels from his cage was heartbreaking. Yet seeing him curled up in his Woolen hat in his cage was a lovely moment. As was him busying himself burying his loot for later on. Good bounty to attract some lady squirrels I bet. You can see how gentle and kind his children are as well. Traits passed on from parents who have clearly loved and laughed and shared so much together. Including this bond with their little "funny man". I'm so glad that he comes back to see you all on the daily. But that he has a strength about him now.......that he's 'different.' Like him not wanting to be held as much as he used too when he was living in the house - but this is because, he is wild and he is where he is supposed to be. Yet your bond with him is always supposed to be. Thank you SO much for filming and sharing this. We all loved it. We don't have squirrels in Australia and I just love them. Loved the music too. 🥰🇦🇺💜♥️

@@pairrynwatson4229 ahh thank you! No we don't have squirrels in Australia. We have Possums. Different from your O'possums, I think there are over 30 different species here native to Australia. The Ring tails are my favourite. They will sometimes come down to take freshly sliced tomato, banana or avocado from you with their young still on their backs. So sweet. They can be a nuisance if they set up in the roof of your home and they're nocturnal they make most of their noise while residents are trying to sleep. But if you place some nesting boxes up in the trees surrounding said property they can usually be encouraged to move out of said roof. I found squirrels to be so engaging and cheeky when I've visited the US. Like they were always running up trees and flipping themselves off the side and then sitting up as of to say "well where is my reward". Just super super clever little beings. I really really enjoyed that little film. 😀

Good video! My wife and I rehab the little guys and gals. We have for several years now. I agree that they have and can give love to us. They are so smart and playful as well. We have had some of our females come back to the inside of our porch where we have squirrel boxes set up for releases and have their babies! During Hurricane Ian one of our gals that did this gathered up her three young adult "kids" and brought them all in our porch to ride out the hurricane. They stayed for a day then back up in the trees again. That says a lot about their intelligence, insight and instincts. We feel blessed to be able to help these little guys and gals grow and go out into the wild and live the life they were intended for. Many stick around the same as Funny Man has done. they are welcome to stay as long as they like. They definitely enrich our life.

Beautifully done video! I had a little female squirrel years ago. Her name was Feisty. She had fallen out of a very tall palm tree and landed in another tree that broke her fall. Her mother had been hit by a car in the street. I ended up taking her home. I loved her dearly…SWEETEST little creature! My dog and 2 cats had no problem with her either. Sadly, she got Westnile virus and didn’t survive it. I had her for 4 1/2 years. Had I known then what I know now, I would have released her back to the wild too. I just thought that since she hadn’t had a mom to teach her how to be a squirrel, that she might not survive. I couldn’t bear the thought of that so I kept her. But she ran around the house, and I made a pillow case out of a towel and she slept with me in that right on my chest. I had a bond with her that was different than my other animals. It’s hard to explain. I was devastated when I lost her. Anyone who says negative stuff about squirrels has no idea about them. So smart! And sweet and affectionate and funny! There are a lot of squirrel haters on KZbin. Really sad that they can’t appreciate something so special. Oh well…their loss. Thank you for doing this video. Reminds me of my Feisty and how much I miss her! ❤️❤️❤️

I'm sorry you lost little Feisty ! 💖🐿 We have mostly red squirrels in Norway. They're fun to watch jumping around in the trees. Playing "hide and seek" with themselves or a sibling. Bursting with energy... Some squirrels take over empty jack daws' nests. Or move into hollow trees once inhabited by woodpeckers. The latter take revenge by helping themselves greedily at the bird feeding buffet... To make sure no bird or squirrel goes hungry through the sometimes 8 months of winter here, I spend a fortune on food for them... To avoid old or mouldy bird seeds, I buy the stuff meant for human consumption. Like unsalted peanuts. Pine nuts. Coconut shavings. Dried cranberries. Peeled walnuts, hazel nuts, and pecans. (All meant as salad toppings). Plus porridge oats. Barley. Wheat. Wrinkly old apples. Lard balls. And dried worms for extra proteine.... Sometimes I suprise them with corn or boiled brown rice. I think my wild friends actually eat better than some of my neighbours ! 😄 Love from Norway ☃️🇳🇴

Years ago I raised a gray squirrel my cat had brought to me. He wasn't as furred out as yours but he was still old enough so that he survived. I named him Link, wintered him over and released him in the spring. He was the sweetest, most affectionate thing, just like a cat, never bit me. He used to drape himself over my shoulder and squeak while I scratched his back ❤ ❤

He seems to be doing so well. He's just so small he couldn't survive on his own yet. I can see this will be a fulfilling, bitter-sweet journey. Great work with The Funny Man. He is blessed to have been raised by your lovely family.

My brother rescued a baby squirrel 1955. He was an amazing pet. We lived in a mill camp. When the camp closed he turned the now adult pet free. I went back in 10 years and was looking around the now empty site and heard a squirrel chattering. I called him by name and he came right to me. I fed him some of my picnic lunch and we said goodbye. So intelligent and loving. I hope he lived a very long and happy life. So happy your family were able to enjoy your sweet squirrel. 🙂

I hope The Funny Man is thriving out in those beautiful woods but still visiting his very loving human family. It's the love that he has in his little heart that brings him back to see you, especially dad. Perhaps one day he'll bring his lady friend & babies to see you. God's blessings for safety, health, & happiness!

I raised one so young he had no fur. He was a snuggle bug and a riot with the family cat. He say on my shoulder at night and picked fruit out of my bowl and sat eating his favorite fruit .

Thank you for this beautiful story. I feed the squirrels that live in the little park behind my building, from my balcony. I also put peanuts on my balcony railing and the bluejays come and carry them off. It takes so little to be kind to all animals, and it gives back so much. Thanks again for loving Funny Man.

So nice too see how a little squirrel can make people more aware that all animals have souls and personalities. This little guy was domed if you didn't take him in. You saved him during his biggest time indeed. Your kid's probably leaned the most out of the whole interaction.... GOOD LUCK

This is awesome!❤ My husband and I had a similar experience with two abandoned babies a boy and a girl. The girl always came back for her walnuts at our back door, she’d look in when she wanted some and jump on the glass .She’d watch for our car to come in the driveway then wait at the door.♥️♥️Thanks for sharing and your kindness to the wild ones.

When I was a kid in the 70's, we had one also. Except our squirrel lived free outside in the oak trees. We would call him by clacking walnuts together. His name was Scurry. Had him for over a decade. ❤

I made it through the first half then lost it and tears rolling down my cheeks. Such an amazing cross over into 2 worlds. Precious story of your little funny man. I'm so glad he still visits and know how painful it was when you set him free, so beautifully. What a precious little guy and wonderful experience for your family.
