A flying squirrel doesn't fly, it glides using skin flaps at its sides. A squirrel is also a rodent and birds are birds. A flying squirrel isn't adapted to flying as it is too heavy to fly, but only glide. A bird has hollow bones and muscles in their wings, flying squirrels have heavy bones and only skin flaps and no muscle in them.

Other animals that may share the habitat of flying squirrels include birds such as owls and woodpeckers, as well as other small mammals like chipmunks and bats. Additionally, flying squirrels may interact with insects and invertebrates that also inhabit the same forested areas.

Bears, foxes and wolves live in the same habitat as the flying squirrel. The main reason they fly is because they want to stay away from these animals on the ground. Flying from tree to tree can help keep them safe in such a dangerous habitat.
