Every boomer with a bird feeder hates squirrels. I don’t understand.

    Not a boomer, but squirrels are pretty much just tree rats that make loud noises, could be the cause.

      They are of the order rodentia, but so are capybara and everyone loves those. So I think you’re incorrect.

        I love squirrels but Capybaras are the most different thing possible. I’ve played with some and they’re so mega chill, I can pet em and feed em by handing things to them… squirrels won’t even be on the same side of the tree as me.

            They can be as related as they want, but squirrels run from me and capybaras let me love them. So that’s why capybaras are superior.

            I still love squirrels.

      Loud noises? The only noise I’ve heard a squirrel make is the “Tsk, tsk, tsk” -sound while agressively staring me down and whipping their tail and it’s not by any means loud.
