Still odd to me how bold US squirrels are. Over here they are super shy. Posted 4 years ago

  They are definitely bold here! I have one that keeps coming onto my deck to eat my moth bait! And, my grandmother has one that practically eats out of her hand! They are little beggars! Posted 4 years ago

  Thanks, I would say that it depends on the individual. This one was begging, I think. It was willing to come near me and wait, hoping I would feed it. Posted 4 years ago
