Hmmm....bad omen? I just got yelled at by a squirrel.

[Liberal Veteran]

I had no idea that squirrel "quacked".

1. Every weekday

When I walk down to get the little one's off the bus, I am chastised by a couple of red squirrels for passing their tree. I swear they try to throw nuts at my head. Little bastids!

[Crazy Dave]

3. They do

We have a pecan tree in our yard and they love to nail you with them more than they do eating them.

2. LOL--I've always described it as "barking," but yep--they definitely yell at you

When I lived in DC and had a large tree right outside my second story bedroom window, one used to come down to the window ledge and bark at my cats if they were sitting in the window. Nervy little critters, aren't they? :rofl:

4. I was in a band called Malevolent Squirrels

named after an infamous couple of squirrels who lived in Mountain View, CA. We were very loud and quacked a lot, especially on my old Telecaster.

5. Hand over the nuts!

Now.

[txwhitedove]

6. Yep, a squirrel threw a nut at me just a minute ago. Where I used to

work, workers liked to take breaks under the trees in our courtyard
The smokers were the only people badgered and peed/pooped on!
I thought it was quite funny and appropriate.
:rofl:

7. Those bushy tailed rodents moved into my garage recently

They tore up some insulation stored in the attic, they chewed the wires to the door opener and they ate through the wood to make themselves a new doorway.
Just as quickly as they moved in, they seem to have moved out. That is just a warning to me that some other vile creature has made the garage home.
I just wonder what new thing will greet me.

8. What could possibly be vile enough to chase away squirrels? This maybe?

9. I like that "Live" sign in the corner

Just in case you weren't sure. Annie Fanny isn't aging well at all.

11. Run for your lives!

I'll take the squirrels and promise never to complain again.

[Richard Steele]

18. Yeah, that'll repel squirrels...

...but it'll attract Koolaid Zombies, and those
things are a much worse nuisance than squirrels. :shrug:

[otherlander]

10. I got yelled at by a deer once.

I was walking through the woods and it saw me and went, "khherrrrr!"

[UTUSN]

12. A pair of bluejays can out-squirrel a squirrel

There was this branch overhanging a sidewalk. A squirrel was on the branch in my path underneath. The birds were screeching and pecking at it for the sole purpose of making it fall, as it did, right in front of me. The boids clearly thought that I would pounce on it and do untold mayhem to it. Talk about maliciousness.

[EstimatedProphet]

13. They bark

[ironflange]

14. I'm always catching hell from squirrels

What's more, on our last camping trip, this little terrorist was continually bombarding us with fir cones.

[conscious evolution]

15. Get Smoky the Bear to tazer them

next time.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

20. On our last camping trip, we were teased by chipmunks...

They are smaller and much more ornery.

[Raven]

17. Yeah, they yell at me a lot and I just yell back! It's when we start having

a conversation that I get a little worried.

[pitohui]

19. i call it "scolding" but yeah

they're bossy little things, aren't they?

[NeoConsSuck]

21. If a squirrel is 'barking'

it is to warn other squirrels that a predator is nearby.

My cats go on journeys. And usually, it is the squirrel's barking that let me know where they are!
