UPDATE #2: We’re happy to report that it was an issue with Twitter, and its profile is up again as of 9 p.m.
UPDATE: A quick check of the profile at 8:30 p.m. shows that it’s been taken down.
Seriously…
Apparently one of Birmingham’s furry “critters” has been visiting the news set at NBC 13‘s studios atop Red Mountain, notably during the morning broadcasts. How popular has the squirrel become? It’s already got its own Twitter profile (and 63 followers already).
All we can hope is that it doesn’t get to the point where it’s not getting fed making it bad for others or worse, it decides to make its presence known in a more visible fashion…

I feel so much better now that squirrels can type. Just keep them away from the coffee.

It has not been taken down. It is a twitter issue.
What happens if he gets more followers on Twitter than you or me?
Scratch that. *WHEN* he gets more followers than you or me …
Well, the squirrel won’t be getting more followers… the profile has been taken down as of 8:30 this evening…
