Grey squirrels are invasive in Britain and drive out the red squirrels from their habitat.
You thought you could read a light-hearted animal thread and get a break from politics and bad news.
Its cute though.
Like a Sphinx cat.
I haven't seen any red squirrels for a long time. Sad. They get hit by cars and bred out.
I do have a little black one I call Zooey who comes to feed. Saw her today. She had babies up in my birch tree; my daughter saw them nursing. It appears she moved them because I feed a cat plus mine got out one day and scared her.
About two nights ago I saw an opossum feeding. They don't panic. When I opened the door, instead of climbing down the stoop, she came toward me by the porch rail and slid under it. They don't see well.
Last year I finally got a mother coon and her young one. So cute. They scurry off in a hurry if I startle them. I give them wide berth but enjoy watching them. Probably shouldn't feed them, usually what the birds don't eat in the daytime.
