I as soon as stated “Hello Buddy” to a squirrel in a scenario considerably like this, utilizing my Speaking to Squirrels voice, which isn’t a voice I might each use for a human (excessive pitched and ratchety). On the precise instantaneous the phrases got here out, the person who runs the landscaping firm that takes care of the condos the place I stay got here round a nook and it appeared VERY very like I used to be speaking to him. It was extraordinarily embarrassing, partly as a result of I felt obligated to clarify that of COURSE I might not greet him like that; I used to be solely speaking to a squirrel. LOL.
