I had sunflowers on my patio. and I gave the seeds this squirrel since the birds weren’t eating them, ( and now I just found out that my boyfriend has been feeding it peanuts) but now he just hangs around on the patio when my boyfriend goes outside the squirrel runs up to him and will get extremly close and run circles around him, is it being friendly, i’m afraid it will bite him? what dieases do squirrels have?
is it safe to let them come up to you?

I have feeders with seed,fat and peanuts 6ft on a garage wall to avoid cats. Ground feeders ie starlings and blackbirds visit but no one visits the feeders. A blue tit visited and left immediately on looking and has not returned. They are checked daily that they are fresh. My sister has lots visiting her garden up the road. What can I do to encourage them into mine?

I have places 4 feeders with seed,fat,peanuts etc on the garage 6 ft up to avoid predators. One blue tit has visited and left. No more have visited. Ground feeders are in abundance ei starlings and blackbirds. What am I doing wrong. My sister up the road has lots visiting her garden.
I have also placed my boxes north east pointing down to no avail. The boxes are 14 ft away from feeders.
Can feeding wild birds with peanuts during the breeding season harm the nestlings?
In the video you will find information on what bird feed to use for different birds, what type of feeders that can be used and the basic prices of food. There are a few bugs in the video such as frames popping up for split seconds and colours messing around. tags: Cutesexyeyezz birds winter feeders feed wild life niger robin blend mixed variety seed meal worms peanuts suet coated pellets
I have bread and peanuts that I buy just for them. I like to sit on my balcony early in the morning and distribute it for the birds and the squirrels. Does that make me weird? Am I the only one that does this?
