Recent discussions highlight the opportunistic and carnivorous behaviors of squirrels, noting various instances where they engage in hunting other animals, including birds. This behavior challenges traditional perceptions of squirrels as solely herbivorous creatures. The comments reveal anecdotal evidence of squirrels eating meat, such as bird wings during winter and even fried chicken legs. This behavior aligns with the adaptability of many animal species in securing food and emphasizes how environmental factors and competition can influence feeding habits. Some commenters pointed out the broader trend of opportunistic feeding among various animals, suggesting that squirrels are not alone in this behavior but rather part of a larger ecological phenomenon.
