I wasn’t sure where to post this, so if it needs to be moved, by all means move it.
I found what looks to be a very well built, cozy drey underneath a neighbors palm tree following a windy rainstorm yesterday. I looked all over for any babies and found none. There appears to be no evidence of squirrel poop inside the drey so it may not have been used. The inside is lined with coco fiber from a coconut palm and the outside is twigs from the seed pods of a cabbage palm. Ingenious!
My question is, if I put this drey up in the crook of a branch in my oak tree will it be used by another squirrel? I could probably put it back in the palm tree it came from, but it must not have been a great location to begin with, since it blew down.
