  • I see your point in pure numbers killed, but I actually don’t think it is raising it. Sparrows are herd creatures, living off of basically the same cereal crops as humans, with no problem living in urban environments close to humans. A point could be made, a very bad one mind you, that sparrows are pests who wants to eat our food, if you are an insane and moronic dictator eager to point the blame at someone else for your own failings.

    But the Eurasian red squirrels are mostly solitary and extremely shy creatures, who mostly feeds off of pine cones, and wants as little to do with humans as possible. You are not going to see them invade your home turf and eating your food, unless possibly if you are some kind of nut farmer. But that is obviously not what happened in Scotland.
