Not at all.
In a previous house, we fed the squirrels (well... they helped themselves to the bird feeders). We had three major perpetual violators of the bird feeders that my kids named. All were standard gray tree squirrels. Long tail (normal gray squirrel), Stubby (normal gray tree squirrel but with a stub of a tail, either born like that or lost it to a trap or a predator) and Chubby (fat squirrel, prolly pregnant). We'd get some more but these three were easily distinguishable this the backyard was their territory. They would hang around the back yard but after 5 yrs or so years they slowly disappeared. Maybe died, maybe decided to move on (shrug).
We'd get red squirrels now and again but Long Tail, Stubby and Chubby were frequent daily visitors and didn't get spooked by us humans or our dog. Our dog wouldn't even pay attention to them or try to chase them or bark at them. Maybe the fur four leggers schemed against us two leggers behind my back and made a treaty one day.
They probably had some secret animal sign language and stuff (scratching my chin).
