I just answered a question about a girl wanting to knock down a squirrel's nest in her tree. How is it that I've lived 37 years and never knew squirrels made nests? I thought they lived in holes in trees or empty logs and such. Do they really build nests llike a bird??

Yes, they do. WIth the remains of a sleeping bag in the crotch of a tree in my brother's front yard, no less.

Squirrels do make nests in trees with twigs and leaves. usually the nest it up high and at a fork in branches. They also will use natural holes and things up in the trees. they will also make a nest in your attic insulation if they can get in under your roof. Squirrels are rodents and most rodents make some sort of nest.

They do both actually, living in nests and hollows of logs/trees.
Look up in the trees in the winter and you'll probably see several squirrel nests.

Yeah, I gave you a thumbs down for making such an ignorant comment. SQUIRRELS MAKE NESTS. they look like a big ball of sticks in a tree, really high up. Easiest to see them in winter.

Yes, they do make nests. It's not as nice as a bird's nest, but it's similar.
See? You're never too old to learn something new.

Yes they build nests most conspicuously of leaves. Don't feel bad asking questions is how we learn. Those that think they have the answers are to be pitied.

not as organized as birds but they do make nest. It looks like a mice nest. It is a ball of stuff they collect.
