Do you have any tame (or not tame) animal visitors to your workplace or home?

Question

I like crows and seagulls, but they know how well they'd fit on a plate so they are very cautious.

The best I've seen is a squirrel that came into the building's reception whenever it felt like it, and would take food off anyone, out of their hand. The building was divided into lots of offices, about 6 stories. Plenty of people.

I've also got a few generations of feral cats in my garden, or the hedges.
They really make the day brighter, first thing I used to do at one place was look to see where the cats were.

Answer 1

We get regular visitors such as raccoons, turtles, squirrells, and many birds. A heron likes to check out our pond in hopes of geting fish but the dogs scare away most predators. We have lots of snakes, but bunnies, skunk, opossum and voles stay outside the fence usually--also because of the dogs.

Once a wild boar wandered by but didn't stay long. Deer don't usually come down this far but I have heard they are near, as well as beaver & wild turkeys.

My bird feeder has turned into a " restaurant for wildlife ... The other morning, there were a pair of Cardinals, three Mourning doves, two Titmouse, and on the ground, there was a rabbit, a grey squirrel, and a chipmunk ! ( There's also a cute Red Squirrel that often comes to lunch as well ) I use only sunflowers seeds , though I do have a suet feeder , that often has a woodpecker on it , and occasionally, a Nuthatch...

Answer 3

Wild dear, badgers, squirrels and foxes come into my garden on a regular basis.

On a daily basis, at any given time, there are two or three pigeons wandering around inside Bristol Bus Station - the passenger area has got glass front and back (concrete on either end), and the pigeons walk in through the sliding doors.

Answer 4

I have two frogs - one comes and goes from the small pond at the end of the garden and when he is there he hides between the Chunk of Flint and the edge of the pond. The other lives under my waterbutt tap dish and is much darker with a vivid green stripe. It must be too hot for them at the mo as not seen them for a week.
I also have a field mouse which lives in the garden and sometimes comes into the lean-to for winter - he loves eating sweet potatoes, well actually anything he can get his paws into!

Answer 5

My Mum has a squirrel that tap dances on the window sill to get her attention, then she give it a digestive biscuit (McVities), my sister brought some budget Tesco ones a couple of weeks ago and it just threw if on the floor.... it was so funny.

She also has some rooks that wait each morning in the tree for her to come out and feed them, they are getting tammer and now as soon as she turns to go back in the house they will come down and land.

My favourite visitor to my workplace, which is an office in the barn on my Mum's property was her German Shepherd, at 4pm she would come and and get me to go and chase rabbits, I called her my Union Rep. She never caught any and the one time she did, the poor thing made a horrible screaming noise and it surprised her so much she dropped the rabbit and ran back to the house... so much for big brave dogs!!!

How about you, whose dropping in on your office?

Answer 6

I have to make sure my chooks are locked up at night as there are Dingo's and feral pigs roaming the cane paddocks at night.
There are a lot of Crows,Willie Wagtails,Kerlews and Magpies around during the day as well as Eastern Brown Snakes and all the other garden variety,,so I have to be pretty careful !

Answer 7

In a pond at work we have snakey and a gang of turtles. I suspect they are there for the frogs as the numbers dwindle as the year goes on, the turtles migrate from the big pond to the small one as they have heard there is a good thing to be had

Answer 8

There are a couple of squirrels in the grounds of where I work and we also have quite a lot of badgers

Answer 9

a thrush came into our conservatory the other day. It had obviously been eating berries of some kind because it started to poo purple poo everywhere. Itw as disgusting. I think the bird was just panicking though

Answer 10

We had a bunch of baby garter snakes in an office where I worked. They freaked out a lot of people, but we managed to get them outside. (the snakes, not the freaked out people)
