I went to pick up an Amazon package - and decided to take a walk around our park for a bit of exercise.
Our park has lots of squirrels and pigeons that are very "comfortable" around humans. And any time you walk through the park carrying a white package or bag - you end up with a bunch of the critters following you around.
Well .... before leaving the park - I sat on a bench and decided to open the white Amazon bag. I had ordered some cotton squares to"patchwork" some jeans. They were a "random selection' order - and I was anxious to see what I got.
No sooner did I sit down and pick up the white Amazon bag ...I was surrounded by squirrels and pigeons. So cute - looking up at me - hoping for a "treat." I sad "sorry guys - nothing to eat today." And, the squirrels scampered away .... and the pigeons did one of those "pigeon trots."
And I walked home!

No worries. Unlike some other species, animals are very forgiving. Great story, and I see the same when I go to the ice rink with the squirrels. One of the ladies that brings her son to the rink, always has peanuts or popcorn to feed them.

I don't think of squirrels and pigeons as wildlife. They are everywhere so I would not be surprised to see them. I worked near a big public park in urban Boston and there were all types of lovely birds, raccoons, small rabbits. My friend said she saw a fox once but I never did. Half our office would walk over to sit on a bench to get a some sun and decompress. No one would ever feed the wildlife and if we ate our lunch on a bench,, we took the scraps back to the office so we wouldn't encourage begging and dependence on people food. I think there were signs posted.
