Squirrel Decides To Start Family Outside Of Couple's Window, Blessing Them With The Best View

About three months ago, Alex and his girlfriend were pretty psyched after one morning an unusual friend appeared outside their window in their upper-story apartment in France. The unexpected visitor was a squirrel with a stick in her mouth, making all the necessary preparations to start her family right outside of the couple's window.

The squirrel initially only placed her stick down on the window sill and then disappeared, then she returned a few moments later with another stick. She was apparently in the middle of a special construction project, she was building a nest on Alex’s window sill since it felt like a safe enough environment.

As soon as she finished, the squirrel settled in and that's when the show began. In the following weeks, Alex, his girlfriend, and their cat were lucky enough to get a private sneak peek into the squirrel's daily life, every single moment.

Alex and his girlfriend started documenting the squirrel’s life and daily activities on video and posted the footage to their TikTok account. It was already exciting enough to only observe the squirrel alone, but soon after, she was not alone anymore. Observing the nest got a lot more interesting after that.

“Our reaction was: 'What is happening right now?'” Alex told The Dodo. “Why is a squirrel putting sticks at our window?”

“We felt so lucky to witness her every day,” Alex said.

“We saw her sleeping in the sunlight. We saw her smelling the air when she woke up — everything she did. And we had the chance to see it in an intimate way.”

Alex shared a montage clip of the squirrel over the months on TikTok:

“It was so heartwarming and brought us so much joy,” Alex said.

As much as Alex and his girlfriend enjoyed having the mother squirrel and her babies in their window, they knew that one day they will have to say goodbye.

The babies grew before long and felt the urge to go explore the world on their own, so the whole family moved on.

“We definitely came to feel love for them,” Alex said.

Alex says that he and his girlfriend will keep an eye out for the squirrel who used to reside on their window sill and her babies. It would be interesting to see them out there in the world, living their lives to the fullest after seeing them being born and growing up right outside of their window.
