Do You Interfere with Mother Nature?

I mean as far as wildlife is concerned.

I chase off the crows when they come into the yard on baby raids. I know it's nature but they can do it somewhere else.

I am always chasing off the hawks. They can go eat bunnies and squirrels, somewhere else.

The foxes are outta here, too.

I have been known on a few {#emotions_dlg.blushing}occasions to walk around the yard and pick up woolly worms before I start mowing in the fall.

I have a koi pond and have hundreds of baby tree frogs and toads in the yard. I walk around with a bucket{#emotions_dlg.crying} and pick up as many as I can in the yard before I mow. When they get overwhelming, I make DH mow. I just can't do it.

Does anyone else do this/have this strange behavior or is it just me that has this problem?scratching head smiley

If you admit to it, what is it that you do?Smile{#emotions_dlg.lol}

I don't have to scare the crows off because my dog does that. I've been know to feed the fox that wanders through. Skunk is allowed to do his own thing. LOL

It is nice that you care. You are thoughtful of life. The only thing I kill with a vengeance is ants....I hate ants. Other than that, I pick up spiders and put them out side, and most other living creatures. I just hate ANTS! My golden retriever chases off the squirrels and cats!

I guess you could say that I feed the foxes. Between the foxes and hawks, I can't remember the last bunny that was here.

OMGosh, there was a momma skunk walked through the back yard and the babies followed here from where ever. The hawk landed and walked up to a baby and picked him on the top of his head. "Maybe on second thought, this is not a good idea." Then flew off.

Me? The skunks were on their own.{#emotions_dlg.lol}
