What does a tree squirrel look like?

Answer 1

Finch nests look like a normal bird nest with a top encompassing most of the nest. Sortta like an igloo. There's a tunnel that leads to the main nesting area.

Pretty complex design compared to most bird nests.

I have one on my front porch in a hanging plant basket. It has about 4 eggs in it last

time I looked.

Answer 2

Tree squirrels typically have a furry tail, sharp claws for climbing, and a slender body with a coat that can vary in color from brown to gray to red. They have large eyes and ears, and their diet consists of nuts, seeds, fruits, and insects.

Answer 3

Grey squirrels' nests - also known as dreys - are made mainly of dry leaves and twigs in the forks of trees, and are usually about the size of a football. They are built fairly high in a tree and lined with dry grass, shredded bark, moss and feathers. Sometimes the gray squirrel may make its nest in a hollow trunk, inhabit a permanent tree den, or take over a rook's nest, constructing a roof for it.

Red squirrels' nests are also built of twigs and leaves/grass. They are slightly smaller than the nests of the gray squirrel. A squirrel may build several dreys and move from one to the other, mainly, it is believed, to prevent fleas and lice infestation.
