You asking about the owl???? LOL!

Smart? No. Tiny peanut brains. Curious yes. These rodentia have damaged vehicles on my property to the tune of $1800, and with the help of a BB gun I have reduced their numbers by 22 over 2 years. I'm going for zero growth.

Sorry the owl came up short.

I hate squirrels.

So true. Just think of how they can remember where they buried their nuts.

The Travel Channel had a program on one night that was the "10 Smartest Animals." Squirrels were on the list. They showed squirrels taking their nuts to a street so that the cars would run over them and crack them open. After the car went by, the squirrels would run back to the street to retrieve their cracked nuts.

I will give the fluffy-tailed vermin credit for their intelligence and persistence.

“squirrels are awesomely smarter than most people recognize”

As the landlord of an apartment building we lived in back in 1981 said (of a squirrel who got into the wall of one of the buildings);

“I hate squirrels. Squirrels are just rats with fluffy tails and much meaner.”
