the wild squirrels can have
up to 3 nests per squirrel.
They usually store food, snacks
and other treasures in one nest.
The males also have a luxury nest,
that's ready for a
pregnant girl squirrel,
they use this nest to show off
to potential girlfriends.
And then they have a 3rd nest,
which is usually
their main living quarters.
As a matter of fact,
a squirrels nest
isn't call a nest, but a Drey.
Tintin however,
has the luxury of making
different dreys, depending on
the surrounding temperatures.
Some drays gets passed down
for many generations, some
can even be more than 25 years old
and still be used.
So, if you see a squirrel
that lost it's nest, due to tree cutting,
storm or otherwise, even with babies,
don't worry too much about it
and let the mom move the babies
to her Backup nest,
cause she definitely has one,
if not more.
If you really want to help her,
guard her babies while she's moving them,
but don't approach them
unless they are in danger.
