No they are not dumb at all. My grand parents used to live in an apartment and we would feed the squirrels. On day we left the basket of nuts sitting on the back porch with the screens open. The squirrel we fed all the time managed to get into the porch and into the basket of nuts.


At my moms house there is a walnut tree across the street. I have seen squirrels sitting near the tree and when a car drives down the street and runs over the walnuts, the squirrels run right out to get them.


I also kept a baby squirrel once that had been in a tree that was cut down. They are very intelligent animals.
