Live And Learn
Clearly, some of our younger squirrels have a LOT to learn when it comes to stashing nuts away for the winter months.
We see them grabbing a nut, whole or shelled, and then hurrying off to bury it. But more often than not, just a mere arm's length away from the Goodie Bowl they found it in! Or they'll even bury it in any random place they can find - like between this owl garden statue and giant mushroom statue, seen here!
The places are usually so random it seems impossible that they'll remember where they buried those nuts in a few months. More than likely, other squirrels have happened across those nuts and eagerly snatched them up right then and there.
And don't get me started on all those nuts, and trees or vines we find in our outdoor potted plants. But on second thought, perhaps that makes more sense because they are fixed locations. LOL!
