It is enough to observe the squirrels roaming our urban parks to understand that they have learned to coexist with the human species (at a respectable distance, however).
But from there to swapping the “comfort” of tree trunks to nest on a window sill, there is a step… that a family of these endearing rodents did not hesitate to take!
Since then, the – human – tenants of the apartment concerned have been documenting the arrival of these little “squatters” on social networks.
“Five cute little things that jumped everywhere”
At the start, there was “only one squirrel, which we named Citron-Châtaigne, remembers Alex.
As the ball of fur came daily to deposit small branches behind the window, "we understood that she was perhaps expecting babies".
Bingo!
A few days later, when the young man was going to leave for work, he saw “five little things jumping everywhere, climbing on the nest, clinging everywhere.
They were so cute, but I was afraid they would fall off!
".
Present on social networks, Alex and his companion Anna then posted short videos of their guests on TikTok and animated discussions on Twitch, of which Citron-Châtaigne became a mascot: "once a day, we filmed what we could see.
But always with the greatest respect!
Specify Alex.
We have never interacted with them and never will.
