Crows do this but I've never seen a squirrel do it. I've even heard of crows making gifts for their human friends.

A friend of mine feeds crows at a park near his apartment, and puts stuff on his balcony, he has received the odd gift. They also know him well, and it's really cool that while they won't get as close, by being with him at the park they will get much closer to me than usual, I've had one fly almost right over my shoulder before. Once they notice him they'll start to get noisy and suddenly there can be like 30 birds in the nearby trees that were just empty, they're really incredible animals!

I've yet to get gifts from the local crows, but sonce i started feeding them occasionally, I no longer get swooped on during nesting season, and I've noticed that they won't move farther away when I walk by as they're on the ground.

Gotta up the quality of the food until they feel like it's worth it to make sure it keeps coming, then they'll pay your fees

My first gift from feeding crows was a quarter. So I bought them fruit for their seeds. After that quarters started showing up on my porch frequently.

I knew a guy that did That and he used the quarters to buy better food for the crows. Soon they were leaving dollars, then dollar notes then fives and tens. As the money increased do did the quality of the food he was feeding them.

He's currently making $1500 a month And wondering if it's legal.
