The grey squirrels carry a disease that kills the red ones but not the grey ones.

The grey ones eat the food before the red can.

The grey ones are meanies.

You people make me laugh! They don't belong in the UK, they eat more eggs from the nest of the indigenous song birds than you can imagine but as they have a nice fluffy tail you think they are wonderful. Get in the real world people !

there way to get rid of the greys is by introducing a lizard that kills them.

when we are overrun with lizards we will introduce a snake that will kill them.

once we have too many snakes we will introduce a bobcat that will eat the snakes.

then when overrun with bob cats we will shoot the bastards

Believe and apologies if wrong but the red squirrel is native to the uk and grey came possibly from America originally around 1900 and have pushed out the red squirrel so there a few left

Shiny pots they leave alone?

Perhaps terracotta pots are better to nibble on with their teeth?

Just looked up & found out they lick & nibble the pots for salt residue!

According to the anti vegetarian/vegan group "for every animal you won't eat I'm going to eat three" you can eat the gray little critters. Squirrel satay seems like a fitting recipe

The most significant threat associated with grey squirrels is the spread and transmission of a disease called squirrelpox virus (SQPV). It can take only one grey squirrel to introduce this virus to a local population of red squirrels and then the virus can spread throughout the reds with devastating effect.

So there was a policy of kill them on sight, till very recently.

"Formby has a National Trust Red Squirrel Reserve. There are ten red squirrel colonies in the UK. 7 of them oop north and 2 of tjem on islands. Apparently, Anglesey has just been declared 'grey squirrel' free.

It is thought that some of the red squirrels are grey squirrels in red squirrel suits or they have died their hair red to avoid the anti-grey movement. This would explain the shortage of red hair dye which is mistakenly being blamed on Brexit and no wagon drivers."
