I looked on the back porch a few weeks ago & noticed there were 4 baby squirrels laying around. I went outside to see if they were dead, they were still breathing (rapidly) & suddenly, the mother came out of nowhere. I already knew not to touch them so I went back in. Well, we found out her TREE nest fell apart. She still had a few in the tree, so they fell as well. It was disturbing. These babies fell about 12 feet from the tree. I'm curious, I'd like to know if the ones would have most likely died later from the fall?

Small animals can take falls very well, but those babies may have died anyway. They need to be in a warm nest, away from predators. Did the mother collect them?

Is this THE infamous trampoline of YAHOO!®ANSWERS lore?\n\nOk, what were YOU doing that could have possibly broke a trampoline???  \n\nInstead of having a baby on it were you trying to make one this time?\n\nHuh?????  WE're waiting...

Yes, we do have lovely songbirds here but bird feeders are readily available already so you need to think of some sort of characteristic that your bird feeder has that the ones that we have do not have. You need a selling point.\n\nYour selling point should not be protection against squirrels because we don't have the American gray squirrel. The little red ones that we have don't live near people, they are very shy and do not attack bird feeders.\n\nMaybe they are easier to load, or hold more seeds without spoilage or maybe your feeder has a design that prevents wastage of seed falling to the ground. I haven't seen your feeder so I don't know how to sell it.\n\nYou can see the kind of feeders that we use on the web site of the LPO (League pour la Protection des Oiseaux).\n\nIf you can send me a picture of your feeder, maybe I can think of some more ideas.\n\n\nOh, yes, Thank you, Mr. Curious for your helpful comments.

When I was 9 I use to play in the woods/swamp behind my house. A typical 9 year old,  Me and my friends would make trails and "tree-forts" through the woods. \n\nOne day we came across a very strange scene. An area of low-growing palms had been cleared in a circle about 20FT in diameter. In the middle, was a ouija-board. There were also a couple of empty Jack Daniels bottles. \n\nThis place just had a "creepy" feeling about it. Me and My friends buried the "board", and waited for the 20ft circle to "grow-back".  It never did! It took YEARS for that circle to grow back! \n\nIn North Florida ,vegetation grows back quick! Very strange!\n\nThats the only run-in with a Ouija-board I ever had.

Thank you for this laugh, I really needed that after the day I have had.  My 17 year old daughter said that if mongeese or ferrets or any other kind of animals are unleashed in her school, she will know who wrote this question  LOL  We come from the mountains of Tennessee, but live in Kansas, and she is afraid the school will make her round up all the critters..LOL  I am laughing so hard I am in tears....LOL  So, thank you again, and as a mother I really have to say, shame on you for thinking of such a thing, but I couldn't say that to your face without busting out laughing  LOL

When my Baby was seven weeks old she died, the night she died was full of amazing events This is truth.\n  \n  I has gone to my sisters to do  laundry, I left my husband and 5 children at home with him. At exactly 9:32, as I was watching tv with my sister and her husband, I began to hear a heartbeat NEXT to my left ear and it lasted about five minutes. I told my sister about it, and I thought maybe something was wrong but not for sure. Half hour later, my husband and a police officer came and got me.  I  would lay Bethie on my chest with her left ear over my heart so she could hear it beat and be soothed.\n  A couple of months later, I found out that my husband had fallen asleep, and my oldest daughters radio alarm clock had gone off and woke him up. he went upstairs told her to turn it off and she couldn't remember how to, so she unplugged it. He went back downstairs and fell asleep again, the same clock went off again, he went upstairs again, Heather did everything she could think of to turn it off, but she couldn't do it, and it was already unplugged, no there were no batteries in this radio, when my husband went downstairs, he found Bethie. If the clock had not gone off again, I would have probably been the one to find her. I am so glad I didn't have to find her.

I have heard of a lot of sightings in thePacific North West especially Washington state. Proof ?  do you think there are that many crazy people out there ? I mean there are huge numbers of people who claim to have sightings and they say there is some evidence. in the south he is called Skunk Ape. think about this. we know that Pigeons have babies but have you ever seen one ? my family all hunt hike and do a lot of other outdoor sports but we have never seen a cougar either. that doesn't mean they don't exist.

I am a bit of a cynic but I still believe in guardian angels.  The cynicism comes from the nagging question of why there are so many innocent people harmed everyday.  At the same time, how else does one explain how a baby falls from a crib and sustains no injury, not even a small bruise (it's happened a couple of times in our family over the years)? My mother, who is very spiritual, knows the names of the guardian angels of some of our family members.  When I ask her how, she says it "comes to her" (I must say she still doesn't know the name of mine yet). Another woman I knew years ago who was psychic claimed to have seen my guardian angel and described his appearance to a friend of mine. Little things have happened to build up my belief. Sorry if I am rambling. Basically, it's like this: when I feel that I or a loved one has been protected, I know the guardian angel is involved, and thank him/her. I have no absolute scientific proof to back my belief in angels, but I believe they are there.

I have never pondered this, but you have a point. I've been kicked in the nutsack a couple of times and there was nothing funny about it. Plus it can damage your reproductive capabilities (which I don't need anyway, but hey)... so there.. question answered. -beaver (Rock Island, Illinois)

Which tree are you talking about ? Did they just recently spray it to kill the bugs ? I wouldn't marry from any family if I didn't know the members of that family, you have to know one, at least.\n  Do you want to know the meaning of a normal tree, a king tree, and a family tree ? Too much for now, maybe when I have a little more time.

Judging by your use of the word "babies," it is apparent that you have elevated pigeons to a higher order on the grand scale of life.  Your motive is admirable and your heart is warm, but remember that nature takes care itself.  Everything has to eat.  It's been that way for a long time.  You should not try to interfere with the food chain.  Unless pigeons have been put on the endangered species list, I would just sit back and hope for the best.

I think that's funny! Now I'll tell "you" one. When we were kids, we built a tree house across the street. My older sister was in it with my brother, when suddenly one of the wide floor boards gave way, and my sister fell through....almost. My brother caught her by the hair, and both of them were yelling for someone to come & help them. My Dad & I ran across the street to see what was going on, and sure enough, my brother had my sister by the hair, and didn't want to drop her because he thought she might get hurt. My dad said for my brother to let go of her hair, and my brother refused! My Dad & I were laughing sooo hard! Finally my dad "ordered" my brother to let go of my sisters hair. When he let go, my sister only fell about 8 inches to the ground! My sister was so embarrassed, she chased me a half mile down the road! They were both mad because the whole time, my brother could have released her hair!!!!hahaha!

Squirrels aren't very smart.  Their instinct when they sense danger is to run to the last safe place they have been.  They just don't have the brains to figure out the which side of the road is closer or that they will get smooshed if they turn around.  They get scared, and instinct takes over.\n\nRemember, squirrels evolved over millions of years, and when been chased by a larger, faster predator, going to the nearest safe place is usually the best plan.  They have only been dealing with cars for a hundred years, and haven't updated the planbook yet.

all birds flee the nest once they can fly...most nests after they are used end up falling apart and are not going to last for ANY birds lifetime for it to come back to.  Are you talking a REAL bird or a MYTHICAL one?? No REAL bird does this.
