Squirrels continuously look around their surroundings for predators such as eagles, owls, hawks, crows, cats and coyotes, as well as, listen to bird chatter to hear if there is trouble brewing in the skies. Because squirrels are not nocturnal, they are in visual site of all predators during the day. When you see a squirrel it never seems to be just sitting around doing nothing. They are always running across roads, up trees, crawling across telephone wires and freeloading food. So eavesdropping on bird chatter is a great way that they can get an early warning on an incoming threat or letting them know that the birds are at peace. Many animals get involved in this form of early warning messaging, so it can be used by any individual that has the intellectual ability to identify and understand the sounds. As well, squirrels also react to their environment with various alarm calls which can help other eavesdropping animals.
