I can't help but think that the curve should be convex, or at least quasi-convex. In a finite neighborhood, the curve is necessarily asymptotic to the number of sustainable obese squirrels. Although, I do wonder what shape the curve will take prior to that point.
But what if we're in an infinite neighborhood? In that case the number of bird feeders and squirrels are both countably infinite, so each squirrel gets it's own feeder, no matter how much they breed. So then it should be a straight 45ยบ line. I think.
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others.
I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

ha ha ha! My father hates squirrels.... Can't understand why they won't leave his birdfeeder alone.
clever!
Did you perhaps mean "the" rather than "they"?
