To those of you who are indeed fortunate enough to have the lack of
squirrel and bird predation.....even with dogs and cats....don't be smug.
This could happen in your area.
We have Most folks feeding birds with seed just outside
their breakfast windows...and when this is done over many years and by most
people you end up with a population explosion.
You cannot imagine the bird population as well as the squirrel and deer we
have per acre in our area.
Despite dogs, cats, hawks by the dozens we progress toward a time when no
gardening will be successful in our neck of the woods. We have enough
coyotes to menace the locals as well, yet the imbalance worsens. We have
lyme disease due to the ticks that feed off the local animals....all because we
have too much everything.
I just lost many bushels of apples, pears, peaches to the varmints despite
nets, traps etc.
Pray you don't find yourselves in this sad condition because bambi
rules.
