Foreign objects in the canopy

[RopeShield]

Owl In the top of big dead lead in a white oak. I could barely see his eyes looking up at me and got got stick and moved him around to see if he was okk. Put the roof back on, used vinyl throw line divide r and tethered the piece back. HO was worried but they kept a eye on it. Alls well

Found a koala once. Cut a branch off looked back to remove another and he was just right there lookin at me. That was the end for any more work to that tree.

Koalas are cutest creepiest lil things, thats awesome! For sure you cant be from the states we dunt have any of them buggers round these parts!

Dead squirrels/racoons, baby/adult critters, a rescue figure 8 with a crap nylon sling, weed bowl in the lower crotch of a large maple at a church, lots of poop, baloons (new and old) frisbies, balls of all types, gliders, shoes, protected eagles, lemme continue to think on this.

A lot of birds/animals have been mentioned, all of which to this point have been tree dwellers naturally. The thread title is "Foreign" objects in trees. I submit that these tree dwelling animals are NOT the foreign objects, but that the human invading their space is the foreign object in that case. Now if I should ever run into oh, say a cow or a horse, then I would have to say they AND I would be foreign to a tree top.

I have retrieved sunglass that I left in a tree top two years apart

 

[craneguy1]

...if I should ever run into oh, say a cow...

The branch that cow is sitting on... sure bet it's a safe TIP if you can get the cow to move her fat ass.

says the man who has never enjoyed the experience of limb walking over/past one looking at the large powerful claws whilst covering his groin area with one hand.

You gotta protect ya nutz from Any tree dwellers stihlmadd, any time im up a tree w a squrrl or coon im limbwalking around like michael jackson lol.

 

[Stihlmadd]

fair call I never seen a racoon let alone clambered over the bugga

and a squirrel that got crushed between codominate stems...well a skeleton really

X2, although my guy was more leather than skeleton. Got his waist caught when the wind blew and opened the crotch up. He left lots of claw marks from his futile attempts to pull himself free with his front legs. I'm not necessarily a squirrel fan, but I did feel sorry for this one - must have been a horrible, slow death.

Yep, same thing. Originally all I saw was the tail and I thought it was live, in a nest. Then the smell hit me. The ground crew wasn't too happy when I finally got it loose and dropped it.

[Stihlmadd]
