      The red squirrels here bully the black and grey ones, and also they eat plastic Christmas lights.

        It’s revenge! From the talk I mention she spent a long time emphasizing how similar grey and reds can be, so I’m not sure if grandma was just in it for the love of the game or not.

        In Maine greys are almost rare, and reds are an absolute menace. I can’t even count how many have become a problem enough around the property to warrant dispatch, and I really dislike killing things. One chewed the hot wire to my shed which although a pain to repair, was quite a show.
