Red squirrels often shout, curse, or complain, but they don’t beg.
The local dominant male red squirrel has developed a special technique for getting attention. He ignores me.
The red is patient waiting for the correct response.
Does it work? Of course it does. I toss a handful of peanuts to the base of the tree.
Red squirrels are very good at finding peanuts.
Like so.
The red has a pleasant snack, knowing that his technique has successfully worked once again.
