She took a sniff and realized it was from the tap. She prefers Dasani. Get with the program already.

I used to put water in my stolen birdbath for the squirrels, but they never drank it. The only critters that appreciated the water I put out were the mosquitoes for breeding purposes…

And yet our grey squirrels climb right up to the birdbath and drink daily.
