A note to my viewers:

I love sharing these moments with you, but because wildlife laws vary and your safety is everything to me, please consider this inspiration rather than an endorsement. Hand-feeding is a dance with nature, if you choose to do it, you must follow the right steps to keep both yourself and the animal safe.

✅ The Right Way: Pinch the treat securely between the very tips of your thumb and index finger. Keep your eyes locked on the animal so you can pivot or pull back instantly if their movements get sporadic.

❌ The Wrong Way: Never offer a flat, open hand, which leaves a wide target for accidental bites. Prey animals like squirrels and rabbits have a blind spot right under their noses, meaning they are biting blindly by the time they reach the food.

While experienced mother squirrels can be gentle and chipmunks learn fast, juveniles lack control, and rabbits should never be fed with an open hand. A single misstep can cause serious injury, so please be patient, read the room, and always choose caution over a risky encounter. 😌💗

My sweet Cupcake visited 🧁🐿️ Her & Wilma are my originals. Cupcake's territory is further away, so when she pays a visit and shows her lovely face it's a special occasion 🥰

Shout out to Baby Blue for his amazing leap of trust this morning from my foot to the bowl! 🤗🐦✨ This is unusual, birds need touch points to feel safe and he usually walks up instead.

Another shout out to a squirrel I befriended named Brownie, he started hand feeding recently and this is him taking a pecan this morning. 🤗🐿️✨ I named him Brownie because he has more brown coloring than gray which is quite unique compared to my other gray squirrels 🤎

Rusty, the Tufted Titmouse, and my lovely feathered friend. 🐦💙

He's Jacob & Sasha's from 2 years ago. Last Spring he met his mate, Ru, and they've been visiting together ever since. They didn't bring me fledglings last year, hopefully this year 🤞
