\n Sheltering in place is causing Americans to get a little, well, squirrelly.<\/p>\n

So many folks have time on their hands because of coronavirus-spurred joblessness and lockdowns,\u00a0they\u2019re paying more attention to the bushy tailed rodents scampering outside their windows \u2014 and opening their wallets to make them happ<\/a>y, according to a Wall Street Journal story Friday.<\/p>\n

Sales of squirrel feeders have jumped and amateur hobbyists are having fun building pint-sized outdoor furniture for their little high-energy friends, the WSJ reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should call this the karma virus,\u201d Beth Wheeler, owner of the Bird House Chick in Atlanta, told The Post. \u201cNature wanted us to slow down and take a look.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wheeler says that squirrel feeders normally represent 5 percent of her sales, but since the coronavirus pandemic, they\u2019re up to around 20 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole industry has never seen anything like this,\u201d said Wheeler, whose retail business sells squirrel feeders priced at $25 to $75, including the Squngee, a bungee-like cord that attaches to a corncob. \u201cSquirrels are a nuisance, but the bottom line is their antics are fun to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wheeler also pointed out that the squirrel boom benefits bird watchers, because it keeps the chipper four-legged creatures away from bird feeders.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
