"Squirrels eavesdrop on birds' chatter to find out if there are predators near."

Is this for real? :ROFLMAO:

It is. The birds twittering becomes more constant, louder and sometimes of a higher pitch, when there are predators around. Other animals have learnt that they need to be alert, when this happens.

There were 2 girls at my high school.
There last name was Fallen, but they actually pronounced like Fallon.
Their names were:
Sky Fallen &
Star Fallen.
Not sure if the parents were hippies, or just had a sense of humour!
