I do really think the time has come for humans to do something about grey squirrels. I know that they look quite pretty but Mags' link above proves that they could be lethal! I would feel much happier if I looked out and saw a red squirrel eating the bird food, I could feel that it was welcome and not a robber!

I feel the same way. They are destructive and extremely annoying. Do you think the insurance company will pay out or deem it an act of god?

[angieh]

That could open up quite a theological debate - squirrel = God!!!

I'd hope that any claim would be treated as an electrical fault, but it does make you wonder about the small print.

Why am I not surprised? This happens quite a bit here; also they cause power outages by getting electrocuted in the transformer box!!!!! Spawn of Satan!!!! (Yes, I'll get off my soapbox now.... Mags, you knew I'd respond to this one :-D )

There Jac - at least we can count on Eileen to argue that squirrels have nothing to do with "Acts of God"!!!

Spawn of Satan :lol: :lol: :lol:

That is one of the few expressions I can use referring to them on a family friendly forum! :-D

Funny, I see squirrel, and think of you too DM!!

well I love them - but I love all animals - and think humans are far more destructive and way more of a nuisance than any animal could ever be :)
