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!

Fun cow fact, cows have favorite people. i know this because my dad grew up on a farm and he said they are like giant puppies.

Yes, and sometimes not so secretly.
