Nik you are too funny.

All these critter stories are so interesting. I have had a chipmunk and his progeny living under my front steps for some years now and what a little stinker. Awhile back I read that cotton balls soaked with peppermint (or some similar oil, I forget now) would discourage them from taking up residence. Therefore, I put some in the crack where he went in as well as the corners of the house where the siding is hollow. Well, next day the cotton was on the middle of the steps of the front of the house. I guess he told me!!

I was cat sitting at my sisters this summer and she lives next to a wild forever area. As I was sitting with the cat looking out the back at the bird feeder I suddenly realized the birds were gone. I looked down and jumped back to see about eight wild turkeys eating the seed! Looked just like the picture above. Wow.
