| Deliberately killing a red squirrel or disturbing its nest, called a drey, is a crime. |
| However, outside the breeding season and particularly in winter, several red squirrels may share a drey to keep warm. |
| Eastern gray squirrels build a type of nest, known as a drey, in the forks of trees, consisting mainly of dry leaves and twigs. |
| There he had built what he called a nest, but what humans, with greater nicety of diction, call a drey. |
| I remember a pair that made a hole in a beech near the tree my drey was in. |
| At another site it was decided to remove a grey squirrel from its winter drey. |
