Stuffed squirrel in the eagle's nest is funny, unless it fed stuffing to the chicks. Sounds like the work of some prankster boys.
I don't know where it came from, but the female did bring it into the nest and attempt to feed.
The chicks have been using it for feeding practice, but it doesn't appear that they are fooled for one minute. The squirrel has been in the nest for weeks and is still mostly intact after mom took a few patches out of it in the beginning. I am sure she was perplexed! There is video of it.
Stuffy now serves the purpose of all stuffed toys. It's a pillow, a comfort, something to prop up against - and I'm sure it smells.
