I thought that I would never see the tailed ones in their summer clothes again. But these lovely animals are still red! Great! To my great surprise, today they decided to go for a walk, or rather, to have lunch in the canteen, where the feeders are set with delicacies of various predilections. People (my brain melts at the thought) leave #protein for some reason bread, vegetables, fruits and, as was the case last year, lard.
There were a lot of noisy and screaming children, as well as dogs... Despite this, the red charmers came very close to people. But the height of my puppy joy was when the squirrel took a nut from my hand. With his tiny paws he touched my fingers and did not even run away right away.
This is already a new generation, which has become noticeably bolder... After all, in previous years it was impossible to get closer than a couple of meters to squirrels, but now you can feed them from your hands. I want more!
Squirrels are omnivores, which is probably why people leave such food for them.
