THIS IS JUST NUTS

[against the wind]

There are 12 small playgrounds in the complex where I live. This is the only playground where they put up this sign.

Maybe they have some aggressive squirrels. Some people try to feed them like ducks and the squirrels get used to coming up to people for food but can get spooked might leap towards someone. If I had a kid at the playground I wouldn't want to worry about hungry squirrels so the sign seems reasonable to me.

It's as nutty as squirrel turds.

I have some pretty angry squirrels around my house. Something was ripping up my garbage cans, I first thought that rats were getting in there, but it turned out to be squirrels.
They should not be fed, IMO.

Squirrels are rats with fluffy tails.

I thought they ate all the nuts off trees....so cut down all the food sources and there ya have it no squirrels.

its the pigeons they're trying to eliminate the competition.

Good. They absolutely wreck my bird feeders to the point of me not even wanting to put out bird seed anymore.

Once I was feeding the squirrels m&m’s in a woodsy part of central park. They were coming out of the trees in droves. I never seen so many squirrels in one place.

A high powered pellet rifle would be more enironmentally friendly.

Maybe they don't want to get sued for squirrels biting people?

If anything,, these squirrels are overfed. This particular playground has nothing but artificial turf. There are some young children that attend soccer clinics for tots but there is a fence around the playground. There is a second tot lot playground with swings, monkey bars, and other exercise equipment. There are no signs on that playground fence. This 85 acre complex has so many trees and lawns, it is called "The Oasis in The City" Every park in the city has oodles of squirrels. There is a general number of rules for all city parks.
One general rule is,, "Do not feed the pigeons or squirrels."
I just found it strange that they zeroed in on this one playground.

Simple solution - harvest squirrels and donate meat to food pantries or homeless shelters for food.

Squirrels = dinner.

WarBaby, put a slinky around the feeder pole and watch the fun.

At least it's not a "no metal detecting" sign.

I'll stop feeding squirrels when they pry my nuts out of my dead, cold fingers !

 

[Chug And Red]

I'm thinking that they are building nests in the Equipment or In the Buildings!!! I Have to Live trap the several times A Year to Keep them out of Attics HH Chug PS they go to local wilderness areas And Parks

Tree nuts, I assume? Not that I'm bragging.

Me being the smart aleck I am, I'd put a pile of nuts & seeds 51 feet away from the area with a little sign that said 51 feet square in the middle of it. Wonder if they'd change their sign?
