The "Science"
*Survey consisted of one squirrel, observed for four seconds, from a distance, through a fogged-up window.
The 7 Sacred Wiggles
Perform in sequence. Do not skip a wiggle. The squirrels will know.
-
1
The Acorn Beckon
Raise your left arm and flutter your fingers downward like a leaf that has given up on life.
-
2
The Bushy Tail Mirror
Wave your other arm behind you in a slow arc, mimicking a tail you do not have.
-
3
The Nervous Twitch
Shake both hands rapidly at chest height, as if you are extremely cold or extremely guilty.
-
4
The Canopy Reach
Stretch both arms overhead and wiggle your fingers like branches in a gentle, judgmental breeze.
-
5
The Cheek Pouch Cha-Cha
Puff out your cheeks, bring your hands to your face, and wiggle your elbows side to side. Maintain eye contact with absolutely no one.
-
6
The Freeze-Then-Bolt
Hold completely still for three seconds, then sprint four feet in a random direction. This confuses predators and small children.
-
7
The Grand Fluffle
Wiggle both arms simultaneously above your head while humming the tune of your choice. This is the wiggle that seals the deal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this actually work?
No.
Is there any scientific basis for the Acorn Resonance Frequency?

Should I actually do this in a public park?
That is between you, your local squirrels, and whoever is filming you for their "weird guy in the park" compilation.
Is The Wiggle Method™ patented?
Patent pending in the Kingdom of Sciurus, population: several squirrels, none of whom have signing authority.
Can I get a refund?
You didn't pay anything. This one's on the house. You're welcome.
