shhhhhhhhhhhh!! The dog barks like crazy if we even HINT at that
word.
We have to call them 'tree rats'.

Are American squirrels the same as UK ones? I ask because your robins
are like our blackbirds. Our robins are red.


Don't know if your squirrels are the same as ours.

We have these two:

Red squirrel (despite the filename):

Grey squirrel:

I think we have both, here. Funny thing, I went to let the dog out and
a big fat red squirrel was sitting on the back porch. I opened the door
quickly and and said "get it" to the dog and I've never seen her exit
that fast before! The squirrel about became doggy food, too, that time.

Squirrels are lovely creatures that do no harm. They are not like rats
that pee everywhere and chew up garbage.

We have both types of squirrels. Since the nesting hawks have returned,
the red squirrels will soon be snack food.
Blacks, greys, and reds around here. The reds are canibals and will
clean out a black or grey squirrel nest in no-time. They clean out
bird nests too (including the nests of hawks etc if they get half a
chance)

Never heard of black, but in the UK, we have grey and red. Both eat nuts and not animals.

That's kind of weird, but sometimes animals adapt. The red squirrels in Germany with the hairy tufted ears were less aggressive than the invading North American gray squirrels. All squirrels are somewhat opportunistic and will grab a meat snack occasionally, but the European red seems to stick very close to pine cones when it can.
