Had one named Rocky that wasn't caged,but would come from long distances when I shook a can of Planters almonds loudly. You would hear him comin' through the trees and across the roof. Would come under the eave onto the rafters and from there to my shoulder or arm. If anybody else came too close,he would run around my body at the speed of light,barking. Thank God he would avoid my head and face. Sharp little claws! One day he showed up carrying a little one in his mouth. That's when I changed HER name to Rockette.
Turned out she had 3 babies and they came along with her for a couple of years,but never would make physical contact with me. When she disappeared,the little ones never returned.
