Actually, I doubt it's the urban squirels who are in danger of starvation. As noted, their terroristic tactics of 'feed us or we will eat your homes' has been very successful. They even negotiated a settlement with the avian population, in which the birds agrees to spill 25% of their feed on the ground - in exchange, the squirrels leave their nests unnibbled.
Speaking of Rocky - he was hit particularly hard by the acorn shortage, and was subpoenaed into domestic court for missing palimony payments to both Bullwinkle and Natasha. He's still residing in Fresno with Boris, following a short fling on the dark side with Fearless Leader. Michael was quite right in not mentioning Rocky as a good representative of squirreldom. He really let himself go to pot.
Seriously, if we can manage serious, the effects on the squirrel population will probably be more noted in areas not inhabited by people. So take your nuts out to the National Forests and get back to nature!
