Are squirrels OT?
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. Hmm... has no one told these people that you're not meant to put out peanuts when the birds are breeding? |
