7. And bird seed.
Last year, I resigned myself to feeding all the animals, until the pigeons showed up.

:scared:

22. I was doing that until the deer started eating the bird seed
I can't afford 25-40 pounds of seed a night to feed those voracious beasts!

I need to go buy some bird seed, but I am getting deer repellent at the same time. The deer keep walking up to the windows of the house, looking in and wondering why I have not put out the buffet yet this year.

Doe season starts soon. We may have venison for Christmas!

Beware of animals with eyes on the sides of their heads.

6. The slowly rotting jack-o-laterns in the back yard....
Last week I approached a mouldering one, since it was trash day.

The fucker moved.

I screamed like a little girl and ran.

The squirrel poked its head out of the mouth and continued to munch.

They made me pick all my peaches a week early this year. I looked out my window one morning and they were having a peach tasting party.

10. They open them individually, eat the inside, and toss the shell.
The chipmunks pack their cheeks with them and zoom off to store them. One summer I was able to sit 2-3 feet away after some practice.

12. It's cute how they use their little 'hands' isn't it?
Especially when they are sitting on their hind legs stuffing their faces. I don't mind them eating the bird food because it's fun to watch them too. :hi:

14. Very cute, the chipmunks especially.
I had to stop feeding them when the pigeons discovered our little arrangement. The seed that took all the other animals a day to eat was devoured in 15 minutes. They used to wait for me on the peak of my roof and on my neighbors' roofs. I quit the day I counted 40.

18. I don't blame you.
Sounds like an awful lot of pigeons to feed. What a bummer though. :-(

19. The good news is that they didn't discover me until the end of August.
It was a bummer having to stop, but I would have had to do it anyway. Habits are made that are hard to break. They came around every day for weeks, and I couldn't bear to even look.
