They live off of earthworms and bugs most of the time. I never feed our squirrels or bird, but I do give them drinking places in our garden. <br />David/:0)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495040805660192347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2053337601505232620.post-72512154325786289222013-06-18T07:31:37.954+10:002013-06-18T07:31:37.954+10:00Thanks for dropping by David.
