Squirrels
are
not
domesticated
animals
like
dogs
and
cats.
Squirrels
are,
and
always
will
be,
wild
animals,
no matter what some so-called "animal lovers" will tell you (the
anthropomorphic types).
Wild
animals
are
extremely
difficult
to
properly
care
for - ask any properly certified wild animal
rehabilitator.
We
do
not
encourage
or
endorse
the
keeping
of
native
or
non-native
wildlife
-
in
fact, we actively lobby various levels of government throughout North
America to update their outdated animal welfare laws. Wildlife
belongs in the wild, not in
a cage and not in your care.
Canadians:
Please
keep in mind that it is illegal to keep native wildlife for any reason
(exceptions - licenced rehabilitators, education, research, zoo).
Penalties can be severe (fines, imprisonment).
Americans: Unfortunately,
laws
regulating
the
keeping
of
native
wildlife
differ,
sometimes
wildly,
from
state
to
state. Penalties can be very
severe (fines, imprisonment).
Please leave our native wild animals exactly where they belong - in the
wild!

We
encourage the one-time use of the 72dpi images presented within our
photo images section for
educational purposes by school children and adolescents only,
such as a teacher-assigned project, essay or
report. Any other use of said
images is not allowed for any reason
unless authorized in writing by Hummingbird
Services.
All
we ask in return is that you credit each image used from the Cy
Hampson Collection as: "Image
courtesy Cy Hampson/FlyingSquirrels.com", and credit other
images used as: "Image courtesy
FlyingSquirrels.com", when using these photos for your project,
assignment or essay.
FlyingSquirrels.com is the sole authorized distributor for the Cy
Hampson images. These
images, and many more exclusive images that are not presented in the
Photo Gallery, are
available in various high resolution formats. If you have a request for
a specific image, please contact us.
The
proceeds
of our image and video sales support the costs associated with the
maintenance of the
FlyingSquirrels.com website, and more importantly, the content and
delivery of our
educational work. Therefore, we do
not entertain requests for use of
our images without recompense.
We
are often asked by non-profit and non-governmental organizations
to donate the use of our images for whatever purpose, and while we
appreciate there is no harm in asking, due to an ever-increasing volume
of requests, we no longer process free-use requests of our copyright
images, however, we do offer discounted rates.

Although
we
state here in plain English we will not answer
questions
with regard to the keeping of squirrels as so-called "pets",
rehabilitating injured squirrels, removing squirrels from attics,
feeding
squirrels and so on, we continue to receive emails of this sort almost
every day. There are many internet resources that can serve your needs,
but we are most certainly not one of them. Be assured, messages of this
nature will be filtered and trashed.
