I took these photos of a squirrel eating buds off a tree Friday, so I could show "the Star" how a squirrel is supposed to feed itself in the wild. 
Are you watching, Star???
Are you watching, Star???
Not every squirrel gets sunflower seeds fed to it every day.
Star?

No one has explained he has no need to go to the end of the branch, the berries closer are just as tasty. I think he is showing off.
I hope Star takes notice Mary and is impressed too. A x
How do you manage to always get such good squirrel pictures???? Are they tame, or are you using an extra long lens??? Good job and I hope Star takes note!!
Don: Well, I don't think you can tell squirrels much of anything :-) They are the buds that he is eating. Maybe he knows how many and which ones to eat and not harm the tree?
Anne: I'm sure as long as I give Star handouts, he will remain as lazy as he is...along with all the others that come to my feeders.
Dorothy: I do have a lot of zoom on my camera and this squirrel was so high up he didn't see me as much of a threat. I cropped the photos some, also.
Well, if someone served you a free buffet everyday, would you go out and gather berries for breakfast? For all that they have small brains, squirrels are pretty smart about some things.
How interesting!! I have never seen any squirrels around here do that!! I wonder if there is a sweetness to the buds that they like!!Well something is drawing him to them,because it seems he has plenty to eat from his friend Mary!! Ha-Ha----
Somehow I think Star feels that the challenge of getting the seeds out of the feeders makes them taste better than any old buds on a tree!
I do not want to feed my squirrels --but they manage to scrounge up what is left on the bottom of the deck (which is okay). They are my vacuum cleaners --along with the Mourning Doves. ha
Great pictures of the squirrel in the tree.

I can always rely on Star to brighten up my Sunday! (-: Even if he's not starring!!! Thanks Mary.
Star is too chubby to balance on those little limbs. hahaha :) Sorry Star, but that was my first thought. LOL! Chubby or not, I love seeing Star. :)
I bet "Star" won't be around to view this post, and he probably will tell you he's afraid of heights.LOL
