@tsarstepan,
They're like your European starlings, been here a long time.

They've forced out a lot of the indigenous red squirrels who are now found in a few areas like the Isle of Wight.

Some people really hate them, but in places like Regent Park London and Peasholm Park Scarborough the grey squirrels are so tame you can feed them by hand, so plenty of people like them.

Having said that I wouldn't want to see them on the Isle of Wight.

The pros: they eat the nefarious Spotted Lanternflies that have seemingly taken over NYC (along with practically anything else that gets caught in their web). Plus, they don’t pose a threat to humans and are far more likely to be found outside than inside.
The cons: regardless of not posing a threat to humans, we can’t promise you won’t cry if one does make its way into your apartment.
