“I am a pigeon and not a squirrel. Coo-coo! I’m a pigeon with a rare fluffy tail disorder. Coo-coo! And did I mention I’m not a squirrel? Coo-coo! Please take me in. I want to carry vital information to spies across enemy lines. I want to poop on things. Coo-coo!”

Perhaps he’s hoping to blend in when the old lady with the popcorn shows up.
Squirrel is on the fence about his identity
coo coo. please not to poop on my car. coo coo.
Squirrel: Okay, I’m a squirrel, but I’m a flying squirrel.
Pigeon: Then why don’t you have those flap thingies?
Squirrel: Because the disorder that gave me a fluffy tail relieved me of the flaps too.
I like how the bird on the ground is looking up at him like, “dude, you are in my spot!”…..
That bird is Sheldon Cooper.

This is weerd…. All the birds near my house are afraid of squirrels. Even if they are the same size as the squirrel.
and i’m blending into the group, nothing to see here, no sirrey.
I am so totally, absolutely making “I want to poop on things” my new catchphrase.
@ skippymom: you might wanna refrain, though, if you decide to
go on an interview for a different job. They might not get it

(By the way, squirrels are predators, so the fact that the birds hang around is sort of interesting.)
From wiki: “Squirrels’ diet consists primarily of a wide variety of plant food, including nuts, seeds, conifer cones, fruits, fungi and green vegetation. However some squirrels also consume meat, especially when faced with hunger.[8]“
From looking out the window at the feeding platform off the deck railing, I believe that should end with “especially when faced with an opportunity”.
The turkeys are the only ones that will chase a squirrel that intrudes, most of the other birds will not come as close as they will with a hawk in the area.
It is a big platform, sometimes the Grackles will dive in and grab something from the side farthest from a single squirrel and flee.
We lose more small birds to squirrels than we do to cats, window strikes, and hawks, all combined.
We don’t have pigeons on the deck, but the collared doves are nearly as big–they won’t come near the deck when the squirrels are in attendance.
Squirrels are territorial, not predatory, hence the defense of ready sources of food, aka the feeding platform in your yard.
The ones here are predatory or predatory opportunists or opportunistic predators.
We have watched them sneak up, catlike on a bird and take it.
End of the bird in question and end of discussion for me.
