How come the squirrels round here are burying peanuts at this time
of
year? Do they know something we don't about a climatic disaster
approaching?

Also I have noticed that their habits are changing to suit
circumstances. Squirrels have always been known to "lose" what they
bury, but round here they only go through the motions of burying
it, and
leave each nut sticking half out of the ground. Presumably they've
adapted to realise that as there are not a lot of competitors in a
town,
it's more efficient to leave the food easy to find.

With any luck in another couple of years they will realise that the
same
households will always leave plenty on the birdtable all year round
and
there is no need to "squirrel them away" in any case.

Unlikely, squirrels have no brains to use for thinking,

Relatives then?

the only way to
stop them is to trap them and dispose of them.

Prick. Wish it was so easy to rid ourselves of village idiots like you.
