This is waaay off bird topics. We've been adopted by an outdoor squirrel.
Every day she comes up on the porch to my home office window, climbs up on an outdoor chair, and visits me at the window. She raids our apple tree, and we sometimes give her walnuts on the front porch.
But the topper was last night during all those storms we had out here. She scampered onto the porch and scooted up our front tree for shelter. She's our little outdoors adoptee.
She's probably tame enough to take food from our hands, but we're not interested in getting rabies shots if she were to get nervous and bite. I think squirrels can also carry pasturella, so we are definitely keeping our distance. But it's good to be friends with her from afar.
