Blue Jay and Squirrel Drama

I keep mentioning that I have a rampant squirrel terrorist in my neighborhood who has a particular dislike of ME.
It has doo-dooed on my window sills and patio chairs. It pulls up and destroys all my plants and flowers. It sits on my air conditioner and tells me off in squirrel language. It throws the nuts off the trees at people and chatters at them. It eats the tenderest parts of my flowers and leaves a massacre of petals. The buds that are just about to open, he will eat off the tips. Just a terrorist.
I caught a whole drama going down right outside my bedroom! Check it out...
This is when I noticed the Blue Jay. (It IS a Blue Jay, isn't it?)...and Duh, finally remembered I had a camera. :-D Ran to get it and a drama unfolded...This is taken through the window and it's hazy. Then I eased the door open to get the next shot...
Ahhh...that's better. Soooo pretty! And BIG! Didn't know they were that big!
AHAAAA! There's the little terrorist now!!! A second after this, he noticed the Blue Jay and snuck around the fencing...(I know, gasp! He's on the hunt!)
Oh Thank God that Beautiful Blue Jay has good reflexes! I would've hated to witness a capture! YAY BlueJay!
Ahhhh...safe for the moment! And if you look closely, there's a dead squirrel in the back of the shot, where the Blue Jay jumped onto it and pranced around in Victory! LOL :-D
Yeah, you go, Blue Jay! Show that little terrorist what happens to bad squirrels! :-D
Hope you enjoyed...now if only I could catch a photo of the green parrots that hang out here, and also the Monarch Butterfly migration over my house. =)

The blue jay and the squirrel in the Big Apple… makes for a great children's story book. Their character names look like, Jake and Bin Elmer. If animals could talk, i wonder what they would say to each other?
I realize that I may be misunderstood regarding the dead squirrel…It's pretty rotten. It wasn't MY terrorist squirrel. (though may be soon because there's a bunch of hungry stray cats in the 'hood lately)
Hiiiiiii Liza!!! (hugs!)
LOL, yes a little story, a little break from the daily grind. :-D Jake and Bin Elmer? LMAO :-D
Would Bin Elmer be the terrorist squirrel? LOL! Hmm…maybe I'll call him Scrooge, cause he's a meanie :-D
i love this…LOL…this squirrel might just want your attention…maybe he/she is lonely…or has ADD or something…rotflmao…try putting out some kind of squirrel feed…and having a conversation with this being…and see if that does not stop this erratic terrorist behavior…think about it, if we do not have our basic needs met, we can get pretty crazy ourselves…are animals any different? let us know how this unfolds…at any rate…this was an awesome entry…love and joy…*
((hugs Starlight))
b-b-but I tried that, lol. There are PILES of the nuts that fall from the trees, which line my entire block! I gathered a whole bunch of them last fall with the kids and we left it out (or meted it out)…and the little &^#$%! went and peed in it and also peed on my basil plants.
He's making a mockery of me, ROTFLMAO :-D
And oh yes, I tried to make friends! Of course I did! LOL! He stood 3 feet away from me on the cables you see while I spoke sweetly to him and if he could shake his little fist at me he would, while he's chattering away.
He's probably senile. LOL :-D
I wonder if this means something in the microcosm-macrocosm-as-within-so-without sort of way? Hmmm…
LOL, thanks for visiting Starlight…glad you enjoyed this chapter of Wildlife in NY :-D
rotflmao…
ok…maybe your little creature does not like nuts…or maybe, he/she wants diversity in the diet…you know, has a stomach irritation or something (this is cracking me up)…and don't talk nice to the little ass hole…TELL THIS SQUIRREL HOW YOU REALLY FEEL!
you might use words like 'fuck off you little bastard!'…LOL
b-b-but I tried that too :-D rotflmao :-D
He kept getting louder as I did!!! Wow, what a brazen little fucker (yeah, see…I did use words like that…I'm still a New Yorker :-D)
And he WON'T run unless I'm within a foot of him!
Well, holy shit…I think I just met myself as a squirrel! LMAO! LOL LOL LOL! :-D
Hmm…probably IS sick of eating nuts. I would be. What does he waaaaaaant? Caviar?
They're not hard up for food, because they rip open everyone's garbage bags and have their fill of whatever their little squirrelly hearts desire!
I had mothballs in my flowerboxes last year (I posed this question to all of Yahoo and asked for a humane way to deal with squirrels. One guy said, “if you're not ready to be inhumane, you're not ready to get rid of them” LOL :-D And the rest of them said to use mothballs). This worked for a while…then my little terrorist non-friend just simply picked them up and threw them overboard and then dug big gopher holes in the dirt.
#$%^&@* !!!!!!!!!!!! :-D
well…ROTFLMAO…besides slipping the crazy little fucker some crazy pills, maybe the only humane thing to do is to knock him over the head, throw him in a pot, and serve up some squirrel stew to the Bluejay…LOL…
now we can wait for the squirrel police to invade this halarious space…lol
reminds me of these series on you tube.this is funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edd8ItSpRMsOne with wings can soar light years over any squirrel - You are avery good photographer and story teller! Love and hugs, Kath
((Hugs Starlight))
LMAO :-D Well, he makes for good Blog Fodder :-D 3 years of this crap, he's like family now…like the cousin no one talks about, or crazy ol' grandpa :-D Thanks for laughing along with me! And I hear the squirrel is good eatin'! LOL LOL LOL :-D
((Hugs Kathy))
Bwahahhahaa…that was cute! A few seconds in, I thought it was real…I was like, “that is no squirrel from NY, it's actually really cute” and then…whoa! :-D LMAO! Funny! Thanks for pointing that out! I enjoyed it, hahaha!
Ehhhh….stop it, you, with those compliments! I suck as a photographer…the story telling, I'm admittedly pretty good at though, LOL. I DO have an eye for photography, but I just don't know how to use my camera to optimum performance :-D
Thank You for enjoying this episode of Ariela Battles the Terrorist Squirrel :-D Muahs!~<3
Ariela….I like the story, too. Thanks for the pics.
Monarch butterflies……nice
love,
CG
Ariela, no matter how this plays out…
Do not let the squirrel into the house!!! You think it's all fun and games now but it's trying to distract you so it can get into the house..
Then the fun begins.. Do not discount this post they are devious and have a direct tie-in to the backbone of the World Wide Web..they are probable reading this as I type…Under NO circumstance should you ever open that window again….
Love, and dobedobedo be careful…;-)
~lars
~CG! glad you enjoyed! Yes, love Monarch butterflies!!!!
~Lars…you don't saaaay. I know they are little minions :-D
Maybe I should get it drunk like this one (found it in related vids to yours! LOL)
And oh good…your hawk (or is it an owl? No matter, both are good) will come snatch the little demon up and eat him. LOL

I like that you've made him one of the family…..crazy old uncle indeed….very funny story! Love the photos. LMAO
Perhaps the Bluejay and the squirrel are partners in crime? While the Bluejay distracts you, the squirrel is doing his doo-doo duty!
I loved this!
Classic story of squirrel on human harassment !
LMAO!!!
I've been there before… except the squirrel jumped on my leg and scared the hell out of me!
LOL!
Hugs!
-Susan
((Hugs Janet))…LOL, well, I may as well :-D And I thought squirrels hole up for the winter?…Not THIS one…he comes out to poop on my windows and chairs.
Crazy little uncle squirrel :-D
((Hugs SnowMoon))…Hi Sweetie! LOL LOL LOL…ooooh I don't think partners would try to eat each other :-P Maybe they're divorced, hahahahahhahaa. Glad you came to visit and enjoyed the tale.
((Hugs Susan))…Hahahaha…really they're little jumping rats, nasty little critters. I've seen some that seemed friendly enough, but don't turn your back on them with your neck exposed, LMAO :-D
Oh that is scary to have one jump on you! I know that feeling! I had one in my house at a previous residence and this thing jumped at me, flying down a flight of stairs and I saw a 3D huge squirrel flying towards my face…and I got Saved by…my CAT! LOL. My present cat would probably lick the squirrel to death.
Glad you enjoyed the story too, thank you for visiting and commenting!~~<3
Blue Jays have always been my favorite… they're loud, flashy and bossy. Okay, so maybe they aren't the most delicate creatures on the earth… that's what I like about them! I always thought it would be cool to help raise some Jays… As for squirrels, they're just rats with a bushy tail. UGH! Don't like 'em… still scarred for life from that one that jumped on my leg and wouldn't let go. All I could think of was 30 needles in the stomach - the common rabies treatment in the 70's and 80's. LOL!
Hugs!

Ariela this is a great post, I truly love it. I love your pictures and the story. I can feel a children's story book here for you. You can flesh out the story more and try to submit it for publishing considerations. I am serious, this is a great idea of yours. The bluejays had brought a gift to you.
I love this blog post that I submitted it to Stumbleupon.
blessings of authorship,
Samme
~Susan….are you serious? I'd never heard about having shots in the stomach for rabies! OMG, that IS scary! And ewwwww, clinging to your leg and wouldn't let go? That would make for a few nightmares! And creepy crawlies for years!
Birds, I loooooove. Squirrels…ehhhhh not so much LOL LOL LOL
~Hugs Samme~
You're nuts like that squirrel. LOL (I kid, my dear Brother-in-Love). LOL, I don't see a children's story in this, but if someone wants to write one and use these pics, contact me, lol. Maybe I just don't have an imagination these days regarding that furry rat with the bushy tail.
And Thaaaaaank You for posting it to StumbleUpon! Though trolls might start picking apart my story, telling me some 'facts', like they're doing with my Superman Crystal Cave entry, which is (make that WAS…now THIS entry is there!) on Gaia's front page and has now surpassed my Fire The Grid entry (about 4000 views) with 210,000 views. Someone must've linked me somewhere, that's crazy! LOL!
You wanna write the story Samme? :-D
Thanks a bunch everyone for being such wonderful friends in the bestest community ever! Muahs!!!~~~<3
