Maybe not such a good pet as the vet shows state. This woman is a domesticated skunk specialist that provides her knowledge on skunk domestication: https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/is-t...ood-pets/4569/

I prefer other pets.

Nice Cardinal, Gary. That reminds me I've not seen much of mine lately. The feeders have overall been rather quiet lately? What are the rest of you experiencing?

Male cardinals were back yesterday. Also saw two Carolina Wrens. I didn't see much of them last winter/fall. Glad they are back around. Feeders still a bit quiet, but I made sure all the food was fresh today. We had a lot of rain yesterday.

Time to think about a winter bird bath and heater.......

^ We saw tons of them on our train trip in Canada. They are considered nuisance birds there. I thought they were kinda neat looking.

Yeah, I've been told they're aggressive but I like them so far. I've only seen them in Colorado.

Still feeding the birds. Feeders are all set for the winter. Took down the thistle bags as they were not being used, and I was tossing most of it away. I know any goldfinch that stop by are happy with sunflower seeds anyway. Bought a heated birdbath, stocked up on peanuts and stood at the window today after putting peanuts out there. The blue jays didn't take long to show up.
