ALL THE ANIMALS!

[(Anonymous)]

It's Spring! And that means all the animals are nesting and swooping and having babies! Does anyone have and animal friends or unexpected furry roommates?

Re: ALL THE ANIMALS!

We have a bunch of bird feeders in our backyard. Mostly set up to be kitty tv. But I for one find the squirrels trying to get at the bird feed adorable. And we had this huge red bird out there yesterday that I didn't recognize.

On a less fun note, we have two giant ants nests in our yard. We think they might be fire ants or at least a kind that bites. Because some got in our porch, and my kitty's paw seems a little sore and she's scared to go on the porch. Exterminator came today, so hopefully he got them.

how huge is huge? ime the only all-red birds larger than sparrows are cardinals and scarlet tanagers, although pine grosbeaks can be reddish (more pinkish/purply) and they are slightly larger than cardinals.

I love tanagers but they're so rare. /wistful sigh

I am trying to get two. Maybe. Two cats in my neighborhood who I think may not have owners. One has the big tomcat cheeks.

I've been giving them food. One seems to want to be a house cat, but is a little shy (he was outside meowing on a horribly cold night, he's also come onto the enclosed porch to eat when I left the door open and put some food inside). The other is a scaredy cat. But they seem to be friendly with each other since I saw them both hanging out on a log in my yard together.

We have foxes again this year, which always makes me so happy! We’ve also had a few bears migrate through the forest that borders my neighborhood. I haven’t seen any fawns yet but it’s a little early for them.

We have had lightning bugs though which is absolutely terrible news. Lightning bugs have been active for over a month here and we’re over a month away from their usual first appearance.

I have a fuckton. Robins LITERALLY outside my front door, they've nested in that spot (a perfectly circular nest on top of a floral wreath my mom made, didn't even notice it was there until she started laying eggs and would startle away and chirp at us to hurry up to and from our house.) before a few years ago but my mom threw away the last wreath and put a smaller one up to try to discourage them from doing it again. Well they did it again.

We have Ducks! A nest in the back corner of the backyard. I'm terrified about when they hatch because we have a pool and it took us hours to get them out after they got stuck last time they nested there. The duck mother was upset, the babies were upset, my mom was getting angry, and I was having a panic attack. But they're super cute so it's all good until it happens again lol.

We had Bunnies! My mom saw their nest and didn't know what it was and scared them half to death by grabbing a broom to try and get the fluff out of her planterbox, only to nearly get scared to death herself when half a dozen bunnies scattered

not even done, damn you enter key!

We think there's a squirrel family in the back corner by the shed because, again my mom was going her gardens and a random squirrel started hissing at her when she tried to get behind the shed. Uncomfimed animal friend but likely.

And guess what?! We have a RACOON ROOMMATE APPARENTLY TOO! omg, a neighbour stopped by today to warn us that they saw a racoon climb out house and go into out chimney, (luckily its an old unused one that was welded shut before we even moved in) and omg. It's attached to the room I sleep in. And literally the other day I was like "wtf is that smell", I genuinely thought I was sweating so bad at night or something and had somehow permanently stunk up the room when I slept. I sleep on a leather couch and scrubbed the whole thing down last night even, and washed all my blankets and was half freaking out because I had no clue if I forgot some sort of sandwich or idk what. So luckily(?) it's just a bunch of stinky racoons. I head skittering and chirping noises for like a week or two before that and thought it was more birds, forgot to tell anyone, but now we know!

We didn't really get a winter, so the squirrel that lives in the tree outside my house has gotten really fat. He's so cute!

Re: ALL THE ANIMALS!

We are getting SO many birds in our garden. My mom had the lawn torn out and now the front and back is all pollinator-friendly plants, mostly native.

We also grow catmint around our roses (the bees LOVE it), so sometimes we get some surprise visitors of a furrier nature... but as long as they're rolling around in the catmint, they're not going after the birds.

Re: ALL THE ANIMALS!

I didn't see them (well, I saw bushes rustling, but not the actual animals themselves), but I heard coyotes the other night in my complex. I hear coyotes here way more than I ever see them.
