Thats their way to tell you that you are their most favourite human person.
I know, I know, you have very different squirrels over there. As I said, these are European red squirrels,
sciurus vulagris. They are weaker, shy, and lonely wolfs. Ours squirrels do not do these things. Yours usually are more aggressive, robust, and sicne they form cosil communities anbd ties, more courageous and probbaly a bit more intelligent (social behaviour needs social intelleigence). European red squirrels are social only in their childhood, then most of them become isolationists.
These are is red squirrels as well - but not our
sciurus vulgaris, but the
American red squirrel (
tamiasciurus hudsonicus).
As you can see they are hyperaggressive and have not much in common with their European cousins except the looks.
Behaviour like this you do not see (and hear) in Europe.
