Pictures Red squirrel and magpie

[Fuzzy]

Red squirrel eating the bird food, much to the bemusement of the magpie. The squirrel has got his winter ear tufts.

I haven't seen a red in person for I don't know how long - over a decade now

What a cutie-red squirrels are so adorable!

The squirrels are very sweet.
Interesting how your magpies are different, Shezbug. I believe US robins are very different to ours in the UK.

Never seem a tuft on a squirrel's ears (that I know of).

I'll try to snag a picture this week.

Indian magpie robins are similar like yours, but never seen such cutie squirrel... Lots of striped squirrels here.

Our magpies are rebels! I love them to bits but many people don’t like them. Every year at breeding season time the tv has adverts and short news reports reminding people how to stay safe around them. Some are so territorial and dangerous that wildlife rangers have to step in and remove birds
We always befriend our local magpies and we’re always spared from their scary incessant swooping attacks. We actually have a few families of them that visit our yard- we can feed them by hand but we only do it every now and then so as not to interfere with their diet or natural behaviours.
