All the facts about the grey squirrel in one documentary. In this Documentary we cover the feeding, breeding, size, colour, agility, predation, calls and much more! This documentary was made in the UK and it is from the context of the UK but the facts should still apply to wherever the grey squirrels are found. This documentary took months to make and edit so I really hope you enjoy!

They also eat leaves in early summer, and bones, gnawing with their front teeth, before chewing and swallowing the resulting pulp.

Thanks I've been laying on my back with a tooth abscess here homeless and got curious about the squirrels in the trees above me always chasing each other around. I heard those noises but thought it was a bird. Pretty cool info

Grey squirrels eat song-bird chicks and eggs. Research carried out by the Game Conservancy and Wildlife Trust demonstrates that grey squirrels have an adverse impact on many native woodland birds, reducing fledging rates by an average of 15%.

Red squirrels do the same too. Also, cats kill millions of birds and chicks every year, far more than the opportunistic squirrel does.

@pghsteelerfan4399 Год назад

Very good video., professional and informative.., I learned a few new things about these squirrels that I didn’t know before. Unfortunately a stray cat just killed the Grey Squirrel we’ve been feeding the last couple of months, along with a smaller Red Squirrel that hung out. I regrettably left a tarp covered yard-cart out overnight, which gave the cat a perfect hiding spot for the attack. Sad to say, it was all caught on my surveillance cam..

omg is that an indian ringneck at 4:34?? that's absolutely nuts omg I looked it up and you have feral indian ringnecks in the UK??? that's so wild!

@TobyWoodPhoto Год назад

Nope, just regular grey Squirrel sorry 😂

@doubles6508 Год назад

Yes it was. They are another invasive species that will become a pest very soon just like the grey squirrels are.

@mikeheasman2594 11 месяцев назад

There are invasive ring necked parakeets in the uk, so native birds are being forced out of nesting holes in trees not only by parakeets but also by eastern grey squirrels.

@einsteinorwell 2 года назад

Grey squirrels have two mating seasons. They mate between December and February and then again between May and June. Sometimes, however, the mating season may start a little early or a little late.

@beebop9808 Год назад

Depends on population. They can and will breed year round. It's not at all uncommon to see babies being born in December with snow on the ground.

@robertstuart7781 Месяц назад

We also have black squirrels. Showed up in my yard a few years ago. Any idea where they came from?

@TobyWoodPhoto Месяц назад

Black squirrels in the UK are still grey squirrels with pigmentation abnormalities, similar to albino squirrels

@einsteinorwell 2 года назад

They were introduced into the United Kingdom in the 1870s.

Cute footage. You didn't show any black eastern grey squirrels, though!

@SchlichteToven Год назад

@@TobyWoodPhoto Black eastern greys are just a colour variation of grey eastern greys. How can they not be in the UK if the grey ones are?

@TobyWoodPhoto Год назад

You do get black squirrels but this is just a colour mutation. Similarly you get albino variations but finding these different colours are rare and the grey were the only ones available to me during production. Thank you for asking tho as it is definitely a good concept to be included if I make another documentary

@mikeheasman2594 Год назад

Black eastern grey squirrels or melanistic grey squirrels to give them their proper title where also captured and brought to England as it was thought they were a sub species. On being released in England they established a population in Hertfordshire which is now believed to number over 40,,000.

@mikeheasman2594 Год назад

@@TobyWoodPhoto The chances of an albino (pink eyes) or leuistic (white normal eyes) being born is 1 in a 100,000. With an estimated population of eastern grey squirrels possibly approaching 10 million they are becoming less rare.

@mikeheasman2594 11 месяцев назад

Prior to burying a nut the grey squirrel chews out the nut radicle which forms the tap root as germination of the nut destroys the kernel as a food souce. They will eat nuts that have grubs inside straight away for the extra protein.

When does an animal become native? OK Not from 1890s (or 1876) so when?

@LondonSquirrelAdventures 3 месяца назад

Good question. Rabbits were brought here by the Romans and again by the Normans, yet we consider them as native. Cats too (virtually all species are non-native). This country always needs a villain and the greys are blamed for all society's ills.

@TobyWoodPhoto 3 месяца назад

That is very insightful, thank you for sharing!

@jamesbrownlie4400 10 месяцев назад

Although very informative this is not all the facts of the grey squirrel. You did mention that they predate on song birds nests taking eggs & chicks. They will also predate on the adult songbirds, they also carry a pox that is devastating to the indigenous red squirrel population. They also strip the bark from trees called ringing which leads to the tree dying and costing the forestry commission millions every year.

@Banjothesquirrel 7 месяцев назад

Humans have bad habits too.

@LondonSquirrelAdventures 3 месяца назад

In the past reds were hunted to near extinction and were called "vermin", "tree rats" and "raiders of birds nests". We had to import many from Scandinavia as they practically died out in Scotland. In the early 1900s we went on another killing spree and the reds were once again hunted to near extinction. When greys were abducted from North America and brought to the UK by the aristocrats to decorate their fancy lawns in the 1800s, we slowly stopped blaming the reds for everything. It's hypocritical that the red was accused of the exact same crimes the greys are being accused of today. The damage greys do is massively exaggerated or falsified altogether.
