Gates is the gold standard on how wildlife should be handled.

I love this gentleman, you can see his passion for wildlife is amazing.

Feels like the kind of job where you'd want an endoscope to look around inside such an awkward position.

I could watch these rescues all day.

Off to the backup nest around the homeowner's vehicle's serpentine belt lol

Never had a negative view on Squirrels until they ate through some wiring in my attic and nearly burned my house down.

YA HOO! That 'ain't' Mountain Dew in that jug. Such a sweet, kind man. I love squirrels, too.

They are gorgeous. I only see common grey squirrels here.

I am in the UK and have never seen a Black squirrel, the Mom is beautiful and the babies so cute. Thank you.

I know I have birds or squirrels or something that nest in the soffet outside and above my bedroom window, I've heard them for years. I just leave them be, they're outside and they're not bothering me. When we had raccoons in the dining room wall, we did have a wildlife company remove them. There were 2 babies and by the time I called somebody, they were old enough to just follow mom to a new location. They were the cutest things ever! The joys of living in a 100 year old house with lots of little critters in the area.

You guys are so kind and gentle with th wildlife. Thank you and best wishes from upstate NY!!

Seems like she was looking for another one at the end. They a sure are cute.

Awesome work. She found them and looked again. And took them somewhere else! Job well done!

I spent a whole day watching your wonderful videos. I'm so impressed with your detail and commitment to your job and the welfare of the animals. Makes Canada look very inviting. I always heard how nice Canadians are. You have proven your reputation. Can't wait to watch more of your great presentations, technique, and good will!!!

I love seeing the black squirrels. We don't have any here in California. I have Grays and Fox Squirrels.

Sir, you are the gentlest kindest caring people I've seen. I love these rescues I just came across this channel. Thank you thank you for being so humane and compassionate to our little friends.

I love what he is doing for these wild animals. Thanks so much!

How effective would nest boxes be in keeping squirrels out of attics?

They are so cute !!! And the Mom is a beautiful Black.....I have 3 huge nest in my Oak tree in my backyard......There are 3 who come down every morning & sit on the table while I sit and drink coffee...They are so sweet...

Well done. I’m really glad you didn’t get injured while removing the babies from the nest. Thank you for your kindness and compassion to the animals. 💜

Houses should be designed in a way that would allow critters to safely use some areas for their own nesting, while ensuring that they cannot access any critical structures or wiring. There would be plenty of warm and sheltered space on the walls, under the roof and below the house, too. I'm certain this could be done if there's will to do it.

She’s looking around like one was missing. Great job!

These films bring me joy. Peace, Kevin

You videos are totally awesome. I look forward to every new one.

Wonderful and informative. Great to see mom take care and know exactly what to do next.

Anytime you put yourself out there you will get haters. Never fails.

She rolls the babies up like a sleeping bag.

I would love to just add how exited filled with happiness on how I stumbled upon your amazing channel. How satisfying experience you've have shared with the public. Thank you. Tou have a fan! You guys are GREAT.

- I do hope they got all of the babies though. ❤🐿❤

I like squirrels, one visits me in my garden. Rescuing animals must be a wonderful job!

Omg..🤣 your so lucky you didn't get yourself bit. Here in Northern Illinois we have light brown and gray squirrels. So different for me to see the black ones.

I enjoy your videos, thank you, when you are talking I repeatedly hear that you are short of breath, please visit your GP and if they think it is necessary, please obtain a referral to a cardiologist, you could also need cholesterol levels checked , are you an asthmatic ?. I am a health professional and am concerned for you!. Regards and with thanks Garry/Australia

EXCELLENT Clear, 4K? High Quality VIDEO!! WOW Gates!! Wonderful!! Aww so glad YOUR COMPANY came back to save these animals AGAIN!!😀👍👍💕

Love watching this wildlife video's. Keep up the good job.

Nice to see people have respect for animals.

I’ve just stumbled upon your videos, there absolutely fascinating, thank you, you’ve made my day….

I keep waiting on the edge of my seat for one of those tiny baby to have a heart attack. They shake so much. It's so sad that we constantly uproot these little critters from their home, and sometimes their moms because we keep paving "paradise". I see their mom going crazy as she watches her babies being taken away w/o knowing if she'll ever see them again. My heart breaks when they have to tear the babies away from the nest! Thank God, there are people who really care and do whatever they must to get them to safety. I'm not sure that I could do what this team does. Thank you and keep up the great work that you do.

- Wow her knew den was only 3 minutes away. 😳 Pretty interesting. 😍

You all have an amazing job i would live to be able to rescue & re home wild baby animals but then again I would be come a hoarder of wild baby animals lol they are so beautiful when they are babies & adults. Good job

This looks like the greatest job ever at least until you get bit but even then seeing the babies is so heart warming ❤️

I live on the west coast. We have the red and the grey squirrels. I’ve never seen a black squirrel that I recall. She is beautiful. What a wonderful job you have. Thanks for posting

Black squirrels are just beautiful

Wow! ❤ the babies had me tearing-up

I’ve never seen a black squirrel before. Cool.

I have never saw tiny baby squirrels but I have saw ones a little bigger than those after they were on the ground eating.Great job

BABIES!! who can resist?? OM

God blessed us with awesome creatures too look at and watch

Squirrel claws are just like Velcro, since they weigh almost nothing.

Hi. This is my first time watching and I am very thankful that everything is fine. My question is are you sure there wasn't six babies. I noticed that she came back 6 times and started getting frantic when she couldn't find it before the video ended. Did you make sure there were only 5. I hope you went back and check again for her. I know to some this request sounds stupid but to an animal lover of all kinds, it's very important. GOD BLESS

He did a lovely job. But, imagine being a mommy squirrel 🐿 and having you and your babies being “evicted.”

I’m surprised they’re black, I’ve never seen them that dark. They’re so cute! Great job!

Great video, terrific rescue!

I think you two are awesome

These videos are awesome you guys! Props to you for being so gentle with the animals! We can really see your passion in all the work you do, it does not go unnoticed! By the way, are you guys from Canada or the NorthEastern United States? I’m from California and hear an accent 😂😂

Digging the "Music"❤

Simply amazing

Greetings from Pennsylvania, eh! Love thse videos. So great how you allow these creatures to relocate instead of exterminate which is fone too often. This is how it should be done. I had no idea animals already have secondary dens ready to go. No need to exterminate. Thank you!

I love watching how gentle you are with the beautiful wild babies. God bless😊

Thank you for your help!!! Your job is very important!

... (@19:30) ... momma's thinkin = "lost count, just checkin y'all" ... HaHaHa ... THX 4 the vids

Awwwww 🐿🥜😊

Super interesting! And what a great job👍💯🇺🇸

Great work

Once again, such cute babies!! I love watching you work!!

Bonjour 🐕 ,quelle beau petits bébés 🚼 , il faut en prendre soin il représente la VIE. Il faut absolument laisser de la place au Animaux pour vive heureux. La planète n’est pas réservé au humain. Longue vie à tous les Animaux 🐕 💓 💗 🐕

Wow, you need a roofer on standby

Just fyi..squirrels CAN be trained to only chew on certain things and not damage things in the House. I was known in my hometown as the “squirrel lady” from the time I was a teen, (this was in North Florida, right on the Georgia border with LOTS of huge Live Oaks..and Pecan trees. AKA Squirrel heaven. Sammy came to me when I was 15, working at a nearby Vet, when he was MAYBE 3 weeks. It’s a long story, but Sammy didn’t really leave-my parents had 2 centennial Live Oaks in their back yard, usually full of squirrel nests. The Vet feared Sammy may have incurred a head injury because as he grew a bit older, he’d go in circles & Bob his head. Uhhmm, no. He was spoiled rotten, became my class Mascot even coming to my graduation. Yes, Sammy ran and played with squirrels out back, stole my teacup chihuahua’s food and took it to his friends (Chico was also a rescue, dumped outside the animal hospital long before he should have weaned. Back in 1970, what we now call teacups, we’re the runt of the litter and breeders didn’t want them. Sammy treated Chico like his little brother..most of the time they took care of each other, played together..but Chico got tired of his missing food..so he started hiding Sammy’s nuts that my mother, who swore she hated “these danged RATS in my house”..but we’d catch her sleeping on the couch with Sammy and Chico on top of her). Even longer story short, at 16 I was accepted into a vet tech summer program at the Vet I worked fors university. A year later I co-founded a wildlife rescue, rehab and release organization and became certified by the state to keep mostly any type of mammal baby or injured adults and eventually had a farm, purchased from a classmates family..and that family now runs the organization. It was the main thing I hated about leaving my hometown, but I went into human medicine too. I was a paramedic before returning to school to finish my BS and went to medical school out of state. While in Med school, I volunteered at a nearby rescue/rehab/retirement “zoo” and we had everything from local wildlife, rescued exotics, zoo and circus retirees. We boarded our 2 horses there in return for work. PLUS, it was heaven for me and my 3 kids..my husband wasn’t a big fan of the tiger and bear cub in a playpen in our living room, Skippy the kangaroo hanging from our door if I wasn’t wearing him..and occasionally Bubu swinging from our chandeliers. (Spider monkey). Unfortunately life happened and I couldn’t maintain the two lives, then came my accident and early retirement. I would LOVE to take in babies again; but I can’t where I am right now. My daughters are helping me move next month and my eldest said a few weeks ago, “mama needs more Sammy & Sissy’s!” The first “Sissy” was about 4 years after leaving home, I was brought a fairly young, MAYBE 2 month old who had been in a fight, probably with a cat. Sissy’s back leg was seriously infected, I could reach any of my Vet friends..so I amputated the back leg and gave her antibiotics till Monday. Sissy recovered, like Sammy was spoiled rotten and one of my most treasured photos is my eldest as a newborn and Sissy, cuddled together in the bassinet. Sissy was with us another 4 years, until she just disappeared one day and didn’t come back..just as Sammy had done at about 41/2 years. While I fully believe in nurse, wean, release..every now and then there’s a critter who attaches to you and makes it clear, they aren’t leaving. My mom moved into a retirement village a few years ago, at 94 after my Dad passed, she understandably wanted a smaller place..but in her new little cottage, there’s lots of trees..and squirrels. She asked my nephew to buy her a sombrero (what both Chico and Sammy chose to sleep in), and she put that hat just outside her porch under an awning, with an old soft hand towel inside and lots of cracked pecans. She watches all her “dang rats”, calls them rat, Sammy or Sissy and is happy as can be. Maybe one day I can do the same. PS as I said, I don’t advocate keeping wild critters as pets, there’s LOTS of desperate kittens, puppies, sometimes even other critters, at your local shelter that need your love. But if you DO find a baby and want to help it; please ask local vets or someone in wildlife care A. If it’s even legal in your area and B. Exactly what you need and how to do it. Having to feed a baby every 2 hours around the clock isn’t for everyone. Nor is having to release it back after you’ve become attached. Know what you’re getting into. And just because my squirrels were litter box trained, came when called, followed MOST commands (don’t expect them to just drop the toilet paper..if they got it, it’s THEIRS and they WILL fight for it!), doesn’t mean yours will. We also gave them boards and nuts to keep their teeth healthy. But..my kids, pretty much anyone who knows you would tell you I’ve never had a “normal” critter, and I’ve had a LOT. That dear Vet who has known me since I was 13, begging to volunteer..I STILL occasionally call her and her me. Todays conversations though are about my Kitty_Leela AKA Dr Leela (she saved my life last year and became a local celebrity). My best friend thinks she’s an alien spy. She loves Brussel sprouts, Pak Choy cabbage, and Chinese hot sauce. Her best friends? Our wintering field mice and spring/summer chipmunks who come in to visit, play, and of course eat. My Vet friend calls..actually, almost anyone who calls, first thing they ask is “how’s Leela? Is she up for a FaceTime?” A friend of my late Son sent her her own tablet a few years ago. She ONLY sleeps on her Turkish Towels, lies back on the wedge pillow she stole from me, pulls up her blanket and demands her music videos. Ok, so maybe it’s not my critters who aren’t normal…🤷🏼‍♀️😁😸. Keep up the great work! I LOVE seeing how you all are with the critters! And even Dr Leela watched the raccoons and squirrels with me this morning! Heading to Buffalo from here in the Poconos next month. My daughter says there’s squirrels everywhere!

I wish yall were in Texas! Would love to have you help get rid of the raccoons in our attic. We've have 3 pest/animal control ppl out. They just close / seal the hole and don't do much else to help or fix the problem.

If they paid the rent on time, this wouldn't have happened 🤣

Wonderful

cool stuff

Is it just me or does he kinda sound like an irl Elmer Fudd? Regardless I love his technique and how delicate he is!

That was great. So the next time I find a nest I just leave the babies near by and the mom will take them.

You need an infrared sensor. It'd make critters much easier to find.

You're so incredibly sweet

Seems an endoscope might be a useful investment for cases like this. Mom seems convinced another baby is still in the wall. Maybe a double check? Please???

When he says that squirrels and raccoons have multiple dens i wonder how many of those other dens are in other attics and roofs and so on..

Could you say more "about" in your video's , just love that canadian about.

My thirty year old daughter is still mad at me for taking a baby squirrel to a rehab. The nest must have been infested because when we found the little guy he was covered with fleas. So we bought flea powder and some bottles and milk replacer and kept the guy going until he was big enough to feed real for. It was a big year for baby squirrels and blue Jays at the rehab.

I thought you said in an earlier video that they already have secondary nests ready but now this squirrel is panicking and quickly making a nest?

Seems like there was one missing. At end of video, Mother was still searching.

ive never seen black squirrels in europe

Dear sir, you were most competent and kind. However, seeing as how July 2022 has yet to arrive, out of curiosity, I'm wondering in which year this intervention and video, in fact, took place. Blessings, always.

is this the same squirl from the episode before

I can’t remember ever seeing a black squirrel (Minnesota); are they pretty common up there?

i might have missed it , by walking away for a second , but how do you know there is not one left behind that wall ? she seems 2 be searching for more at the end, i also wonder if they know exactly how many kids they have .

Squirrels will also climb into your engine and chew wires. I had to pay $215 to replace some engine wires because of that.

hello have you guys thinking of purchasing a camera so you'll can see better what happened on the other wall. so it won't hurt the Animal.

Squirrels are good eatin.

Yikes what’s with those exposed wire nuts by the downspout?!😳

hope you leave that nesting material somewhere for her when she moves

I wonder what made the mother move the babies the first time?

It only took her 3 mins between each baby.

In my mind I can't understand why the inhabitant don't let squirrels be there until they leave the nest and the seal it up?!? It can't be so big problem to have them i a balcony outside wall. But I'm an animal friend with empathy.
