Feeder Bandits Beware: This Squirrel Wants Your Nuts

If you’ve ever tried to run a peaceful backyard bird buffet, you know that squirrels aren’t just guests—they're the self-appointed managers. They waltz in like they own the place, perform gravity-defying stunts to access squirrel-proof feeders, and casually help themselves to the finest seeds and nuts you put out for your feathered friends. 

That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce a design straight from the heart of backyard birding struggle: Wanted: Your Nuts.

This is our playful tribute to those fuzzy-tailed burglars who raid your feeders with a smile and a flick of the tail. The design features an adorably mischievous squirrel dressed in a cowboy hat, giving off major Wild West outlaw vibes. He’s got a determined look in his eyes and your carefully-stocked bird feeder in his sights. And let's be honest—you know exactly the kind of squirrel we're talking about.

A Love-Hate Relationship with the Backyard Rascal

We love all wildlife, but we have to admit squirrels have earned their spot in the drama of daily backyard life. They're part ninja, part stand-up comedian, and part villain in your ongoing backyard bird saga. This sweatshirt is for those of us who secretly admire their persistence, even while we’re Googling “how to squirrel-proof a feeder... again.”

So, whether you’re dealing with just one crafty squirrel or a full-blown squirrel syndicate, this design brings some much-needed comic relief to the daily feeder wars. After all, if you can’t beat 'em, you might as well laugh at 'em.

• Backyard birders with a squirrel problem (aka: all backyard birders)
• Nature lovers who appreciate a good wildlife pun
• Bird nerds who enjoy the lighter side of birding life
• Friends and family looking for unique gifts for the birdwatcher in their life

The unisex sweatshirt is soft, comfy, and made to last through all seasons of feeder surveillance. Whether you’re refilling seed in the snow or sipping tea while watching your goldfinches in spring, this shirt will keep you warm and smiling.

Along with the boom in birdwatching in 2020, the sometimes accompanying hobby of digiscoping also saw new enthusiasts join in during our pandemic year. Digiscoping is the use of a spotting scope along with a digital photographic device (camera or smartphone) to take pictures. 

This funny text was made for digiscopers. The design uses distressed letters for a vintage look. The full phrase is shown here on a coffee mug: Old Digiscopers Never Die, They Just Lose Their Focus. You can easily choose a different mug style if you'd like something more colorful than this classic 11 oz mug. And if you like this design but would like to see it on a different product entirely, like a t-shirt or a tote bag, that's possible with Zazzle's easy tools.
