We only have the little red squirrels around here and one guy competes with the Blue Jays and crows for the shelled peanuts the wife puts out. My Springer spaniel loves to watch him running along the wires strung from the power poles.
I have a video of the squirrel jumping from our deck to the little bag of bird seed made into a ball with bacon fat, hanging from a tree branch. It spins when he landscape on it but he gets what he wants and then he jumps back to our deck. No sign of him attempting 'break and entry'.

We have lots of gray squirrels here because of all of the live oaks
and laurel oaks. Mr Ed is not really interested in them at all. He was
interested in the rabbits but he didn't chase them. Once he did get
close enough to lick one but he was so non-threatening walking up that
the rabbit just stood there. The lick did send him off tho. It was one
of those things I wish I had recorded.
They stood there nose to nose for about 20 seconds.

I get squirrels on the boat from time to time but the boat is buttoned
up tight enough that they don't cause any damage. They were eating
holes in my lift cover until I covered the edges with aluminum
flashing.

I had one of the center console outboards at one of those Florida rack
storage places for a couple of years. The second year I went to use it
and squirrels had eaten through and destroyed a good part of the wiring
in the boat. Even the big battery wires were chewed through.
