I never had a problem with this. I think squirrels are as interesting to look at as birds are, perhaps moreso. I mean, look at the acrobatics this little guy has to perform just to get at that feeder. Unlike the birds who just fly down like it’s nothing. He’s putting in the effort, let him have the fuckin’ payoff.

Grey squirrels are invasive here. I once went to a talk where a tiny adorable grandmother was gleefully talking about finding ways to kill them all.

  I suppose that makes them quite a bit less endearing. I’ve only ever lived in places where squirrels are native, and never really understood the animosity towards them.

    They out compete native red squirrels here.

    The red squirrels here bully the black and grey ones, and also they eat plastic Christmas lights.

    There are grey and red squirrels. The grey ones are invasive in Europe and are causing all kinds of problems for the native red squirrels

    Grey squirrels are native where I’m at; even here, a lot of folks dislike them. They just can’t catch a break.

I love watching the squirrels at my feeder, especially the young ones still learning to find food. I buy a mix that has corn and nuts in it just for them.

If apes hadn’t been faster, squirrels would rule the world.
