They are exceedingly well fed.
Boston hosts something around 20 million visitors each year. About 3 million of them walk the Freedom Trail, which starts at Boston Common. There also are many public events in the Common — concerts, fireworks, festivals, political gatherings, celebrations, etc. — throughout the year, which attract both visitors and residents. And Boston’s business commercial district is just a block away from the Common.
Plus: There are a ton of places for food on and around the Common.
So just imagine: Millions and millions of people consuming millions of snacks and meals on and around the Common, spilling millions of crumbs and morsels, and deliberately feeding millions more to the birds and mammals there…
It’s amazing the squirrels can even walk. 🙂
