Every day, I fill five bird feeders in my front and back gardens. I also scatter breadcrumbs on the grass, and bird seed on the ground to feed the pigeons. On top of that, I sometimes have up to four foxes visit my back garden looking for handouts, so I feed them too, with dog food. Then there's a stray cat who lives in my front porch who's a greedy blighter and is always looking for food, so I buy 'Felix' or 'Whiskas' for her, as well as all sorts of other wee treats. The cat comes into the house sometimes for a heat or a sleep, so she must like it here. She runs away from everyone else in the street. My neighbour calls her 'Scaredy Cat'.
Anyway, I opened my kitchen back curtains this morning and there were a couple of young foxes having a kip until I went out to feed them. The other one was out of sight behind a tree, but the one above was directly in front of the back window so I snapped this photo of it. The garden (or what you can see of it) looks a bit scruffy, but half-an-hour later the gardener arrived and cut the grass, making it look less like an overgrown wilderness. You'd have to ask the foxes whether they prefer the garden being untidy or spruced up a bit, but I suspect they don't care one way or the other, as it's only a place for them to eat, then sh*t in.
Any other Crivvies got a menagerie of animals that they feed?
