Sometimes we'll even put out fruit for the birds and the other critters are welcome to that, as well. However, we live in the country and any food offerings are put well away from the house (by the bird feeders, out near the tree line). Does your neighbor think rats are cute and funny, as well?
I'm not sure what they are thinking, I am pretty sure they don't think how they are hurting the animals. Once they start depending on humans for there food the do become a big nuisance. Please don't get me wrong, I love seeing wildlife, but that's why they are called "wild". One of the most beautiful sites I saw last Summer was a Doe & her baby that had found an apple tree. I will share with them, but I don't want them to depened on us to survive. As far as the rodents go, we have a very good mouser outside. Although I don't realy want her to hunt she was a feral kitten that had to survive until she choose us to be her humans. Anyway I will just keep all food & water up at night & maybe they will find another place to go. I really did enjoy your pictures. What kind of camera system do you have? we are looking to put some cameras up around here. Thanks again for sharing & keep the pictures coming.
