Saw a pair of Robins attack a squirrel today that was in a tree about 10ft away from their nest. Cool to see how aggressively they defended their territory from nutty mind[s]. Wouldnt shock me if squirrels are known for eating their eggs or their babies, or both.
" Do Squirrels Really Eat Birds?
Yes, squirrels do occasionally eat birds, but it typically happens when their usual food sources, such as fruits, nuts, and fungi, become scarce, often during harsh winters. In such situations, they may resort to a more unconventional diet, which can include baby birds or birds that have met unfortunate accidents.
Squirrels are known for their adaptability when it comes to food, and they adjust their diet based on whatβs available in their environment. While this behavior is not common, it does occur, and it highlights the flexibility of these resourceful rodents."
