I'm a member of a red squirrel society in Scotland and I'm sorry to say but i hate grey squirrels. They don't kill the red ones but they do eat their food and move into their territory and thus theY endanger the British red squirrel, which may i add was here long before the fat American grey moved in and munched all the reds food. GO HOME FAT GREY SQUIRREL.
The grey squirrel is generally considered to be less of a problem than red quirrels. Red quirrels get into wires underneath your car and chew them, they get into garages and destoy stored material. Grey sqirrels, on their own, rairely cause any known problems to man. I don't know if they kill red squirrrels, but if they do, its just a natural responce, probablly better left untouched by man.
If you feel like you have a HUGE population of squirrels around you, check to see if a neighbor happens to be feeding them! :)

The red will also take birds eggs given the chance! I am no lover of grey squirrels but dont forget that part of the problem is us!!! We have destroyed the habitat it needs. Reds prefer coniferous forests but can live in broad leaved woodland. How much of that do you have near you? Greys are adaptable and quite happily live in gardens, hedgerows and parkland where reds will not. Greys put on weight quicker and are therefore more likely to survive in times of hardship. Greys can also live in a 'denser' population. A given area can support 8 times the number of greys than it can reds.
