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

    Birds are super good for the environment, take a quick google!

    Squirrels on the other hand, are an invasive species in much of the world.

    In my home province squirrels make it pretty hard for some of our local trees etc.

      A particular species of squirrels. I think people in this thread fail to make clear that this is exclusively about the North American grey squirrel. The Eurasian red squirrel is not invasive anywhere, And I strongly doubt anyone have any problem with having them in their bird feeder, since they are solitary and relatively shy creatures.
