Thus, some people regard squirrels as unwanted, expensive nuisances and take umbrage when the squirrels defeat their anti-squirrel efforts. On the other hand, many people enjoy the antics of squirrels as much as they appreciate the beauty and variety of the birds attracted to their feeders. To them, the extra seed consumed is a small price to pay for the double pleasure of observing both birds and squirrels. Ultimately it’s a highly personal decision, and there’s room in the world for both squirrel haters and squirrel lovers.
A red in the throes of one of these vituperative displays brings to mind a tiny teakettle as it boils over, hopping on the stove while bubbling and steaming furiously, or a miniature Vesuvius about to blow its top. Heard and seen at close range, this is a performance to be treasured! Because of this feisty behavior, incongruous in a creature so small, we affectionately refer to any red squirrel around our home as Big Red. The personality difference between gray and red squirrels shows in another major way, too: wariness.
The feisty little reds, however, will stay, sometimes even when approached within two or three feet, and hurl insults at us like an angry fishwife whose toes have just been stepped on. Another amusing trait is the red squirrels’ penchant for closely pursuing each other. A common sight in the woods is to see one red squirrel racing after another at top speed across the ground, then chasing it around and around a tree trunk in a sharp upward spiral. At some point the whole affair is reversed, and the two spiral down the tree and speed away out of sight.
