The garbage bins that the city gives us are definitely not squirrel proof as you can see from the large hole that has been chewed in the lid of this one. This squirrel was having a fine feast on something that she found in there. She looks like she is probably nursing some young ones.

I'm not sure how good that kind of diet is for a wild animal - certainly not the plastic bin.
ReplyDeleteOh hoh!
ReplyDeleteThis squirrel must like this bin as it chewed a heart shaped hole. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe squirrel is happy digging in the trash. They have sharp teeth for chewing. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend!
Amazing how they have figured out how to dig their way into those bins.
ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as squirrel proof. There is only 'how long will it take the squirrel to sort out a solution to the problem'.
ReplyDeleteI have bins that look like that!
ReplyDeleteNice urban squirrel. Knows its way around in the city.
ReplyDeleteOh my! That is a sad sight. We have new bins, I hope ours hold up better and the critters don't get in them.
ReplyDeleteOh my what a determined miscreant!
ReplyDeleteWait! The city GIVES you garbage cans? Are they a regulation size?
ReplyDeleteFor sake of the young ones Mama squirrel will need to have a good supply source of food.
ReplyDeleteSimpática imagen Pat. Buena mirada la tuya.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
