I wonder if the crow and the squirrel were doin the “Dead Parrot” sketch.

Squirrel: He’s not dead.
Crow: He’s pining for the fjords.

Your average squirrel is only worth about 400 calories by himself, but one will make a pot of beans taste mighty fine...

Long, slow, moist heat...

BS.

Squirrels wave the tail to distract a predator into attacking the tail and missing the squirrel.

They do it constantly.

One of the most amazing things I ever saw was a crow playing with seagulls in a thermal over a canal.

Moments like those in your video and the images that follow are difficult to explain to people who do not think animals are sentient beings.
