I guess you don't like the grey squirrels. Can't say I blame you, they are so much more agressive than the reds. I am told also that they have come with a disease that also harms the reds. We also have imports here ( the Europeon Red) but they don't seem to have done any harm. So sorry that our greys are harming your ecosystem. Wish people would leave animals where they belong. The Europeon Starling is causing serious problems for our native birds by stealing thier nesting sites.
