Hmmmm……🤔
That fox seems awful calm… Almost as if it’s tamed….

They’re becoming bolder here in the UK. Partly due to people feeding them. A mistake in my view. I admit they’re pretty enough, though. Our estate has open plan front gardens so we can’t stop them with fencing.
We often have to remove fox poo from our lawn, and twice recently there has been a dirty nappy left; once on our lawn, and once next door. Disgusting.
And the horrific destruction they wreak if they get into a hen house is heartbreaking. They kill not only for food. I used to be ic Agricultural Science at a local school and we had a small farm. A fox once got into the poultry–no idea how. We had severely traumatized hens as well as dead and injuried ones. The fox even killed an extremely feisty gander. That must have been quite a fight.

Ugh, that must have been horrible.
We have foxes around our house (we’re inside the city limits, but on the outskirts and with lots of wooded areas nearby) and I worry sometimes that one of them might decide to pick off our little porch kitty, Scruffy. Luckily, Scruffy is very alert and very skittish, and very quick to run and hide under the porch anytime he feels the least bit threatened. He might pick a fight with a gopher, but probably nothing larger than that.

Oh wow. I hope they get under control. A few years back we saw a bald eagle catch one in our field. It was a grey fox.

People here would get very upset if the authorities were seen to be culling them, and it’s illegal to do anything about it yourself. Not allowed to trap or poison them, nor set your dog on them on pain of a possible large fine or imprisonment.

Oh no, that’s a bummer. Are there any programs for trap and release into a preserve or something?

You’re telling me, nothing is safe! I found my hummingbird feeders and suit cake baskets underneath one of our pine trees destroyed, and one night I heard my small wind chime and saw the little rascal run off with it, that is probably hanging from a tree outside their place, along with several flower pot decorations. We used to have a squirrel that would steal the American flags from people’s yards and used them to line her nest. 😊

That’s funny! Wish I could see pictures of it. 🙂

When the leaves fell from the tree, I spotted her nest and took a photo to show the neighbors, they got a big laugh knowing that the flags were being put to good use and not destroyed. I’ll see if I can find that photo, can’t remember if I took it with my camera or my phone, if I took it with my phone it’s probably gone, it wasn’t as easy to print photos back then from a phone.
