Have you ever had someone befriend with an ulterior motive. I had a friend all through elementary school, but when we went to Jr. High she took up with a faster crowd. That group's main goal was to meet up with boys. One day she buddied up to me again. I was so happy. She came to stay the night with me. Wouldn't you know the real lure to me was the boy that lived down the road. We walked there and she met up with him. We were not friends again! I finally learned a lesson I thought.
But I am still vulnerable. Back in the summer the squirrels pretended to be my friends. They did not bother the bird seed. There was plenty to eat on the oaks and maples and other vegetation. I enjoyed watching them scurrying around. I was just money in the bank for winter. My grandson Justin put up a little chair for them on the oak tree. Bam, one day the squirrels turned on me. The stuff dangling from my feeder pole did not keep the devils away. If they fell, it was try, try again. When I went out to shoo them away, they climbed and big oak and sat and laughed at me.
Well, the trap is set and one has moved to the oak covered graveyard 3 miles away over Galla Lake.

I think the squirrels were behaving more on instinct. Love their little picnic table. That's what they thought it was for. They still want you for a friend cuz you got food. I've seen a few kids turn to other behaviors as soon as they were on to the next step in their lives. Keep the squirrels. Linda in Kansas
Spray paint their backs so you know if they come back! The little buggers can be so destructive, our great nephew next door is a good shot and took out at least 20 last year and we still have plenty.
There were 6 in my yard tuesday
