Reminds me of the squirrels here that I only feed when the snow is covering their usual source of food:
The tamer ones in our busy park (a lot of tourists find them very entertaining if they can feed from their hand [I don’t let them get that close!]) are rather fussy about what they will accept …. unsalted peanuts in the shell (so that the birds can’t open them) or sometimes oyster crackers but no bread or rolls.
The wilder ones down by the river are grateful for any source of calories.
