Wild Life
Hosted by Annie!!
I was thinking about wild life that is all around us. Summer brings us out of the house and we spend more time outdoors, weather permitting, and have an opportunity to see animals and birds that live around us.
1. Do you see many animals where you live? Is your answer a good or bad thing?
I do see wildlife. It is partly a good thing and partly not so good!!!
2. What kind of animals and birds are around your area?
I see birds, mainly all throughout the day! In the late afternoon we do have deer wander into our yard as they leave the nearby woods and go foraging. Unfortunately., we do have to fence off our gardens to keep the deer from eating all of my roses,,and other precious flowers we work pretty hard to cultivate! And I live in the city. but the deer population keeps growing year after year. The city takes no interest in lessening the population.
3. What kind of animals and birds could you do without and what kind would you love to see more often? We used to see chipmunks all over the place but this year they are absent. We always enjoyed seeing them. I love the birds and we do try to attract them! We keep water for them. I really do not like the deer.. they re pretty but that is all the good I have to say about them!
4. Do you feed wild birds or animals ? We unintentionally feed the deer who rampage the gardens on their own ... we do feed the birds except in the summer. I would like to but hubs says they can find their own food. We do feed them throughout the rest of the year!
Oh, the poor roses. My friend has a problem with deer eating her plants too and turkeys that roam her neighborhood attacking people of all things.
ReplyDeleteI always empathize with people who have to contend with the deer eating from their gardens. Thankfully I don't have that issue. I'm glad you have a lot of birds. They are so pretty and mostly gentle.
ReplyDeleteYes, deer can be a real nuisance to gardens of all kinds. They like flowers and trees as much as vegetables, so they can certainly be pests. But I do love to see them in the wild. We are not bothered by them here where we currently live and only occasionally see them where we go for a walk. I miss seeing them, but I don't miss them eating my flowers/etc.! LOL.
