  The squirrel, but not in the way you thing.

  It spent summer 2022 trying to find a way get to a window mounted bird feeder. It tried leaping from a window AC unit, coming down from a plant hanger on the eve, and shimmying across the window ledge with just its from paws. It was like a slapstick version of Mission Impossible. I decided it deserved a meal.

    Props to you for feeding it. People who call them pests clearly haven’t tried to bond with any. Amazingly intelligent critters, I feel like they’re sorta like pigeons- they absolutely have a sentience and personalities. I used to feed one almonds all the time and it would even come right up to me and take 'em from my hand. Pretty sure that stopped them going for my tomatoes lol. They’ll eat garden snails too FYI
