I noticed last weekend in Kathy's garden that she had peanuts for the birds in plastic containers and she tells me that there are squirrels in the area too, so I wondered aloud to Keith the other day, why the squirrels there don't demolish the peanuts as they do here. This was after I had bemoaned that fact that feeding the birds here is an ongoing battle with the squirrels. No matter what I do, they always manage to grab the lion's share and even having a guided, squirrel-seeking missile in the form of Paddy does not deter them.
"Pretty obvious really," was Keith's reply. "The Sheffield squirrels are thick, unlike the Welsh squirrels who are super-intelligent."
I'll now sit back and await the torrents of abuse I know will be coming my way across the Pennines and all the way west to North Wales....!
Life in north east England (yes, we've moved!) with an eccentric Welshman and a small white dog that thinks he's a Rottweiler.

Maybe, Debbie!
It could be that the squirrels there are spoilt for choice, but aren't where you are! Flighty xx
I'm inclined to think that Welsh squirrels are just extremely greedy, Flighty. :)
living in both areas I feel qualified to comment
I alway found sheffield squirrels rather boistrious!!!
I'll have to check with Kathy as to whether she finds the same, John. ;)
On YP's behalf, I have to say that this merely demonstrates how honest and honourable are Sheffield squirrels!
You may say that, YP. I couldn't possibly agree! ;)
