My neighbor has joined me in this effort, and together
we've kept many local species alive. This includes many
varieties of birds and small diurnal species too. This ranges
from wild rabbits to foxes.

If you're keeping the foxes alive, and keeping the rabbits alive, why
do you need to keep the foxes alive?

They all come and go as they please and hide from
each other. They leave the grounds and wander off, etc.
Basically everyone's wild. The natural cycle takes place
with one exception......the unlucky ones know where
to come and grab a dinner and fresh water. The rabbits
just nibble on the ever present greenery. The carnivors
like the crunchy food, and canned pate. Sometimes
one catches another off in the woods, but I don't
see that, except for a pile of dove feathers. Not much
goes to waste in the food chain.

Raccons look funny eating spaghetti. They won't eat
domino's pizza, but most everyone eats sunflower
seeds, cept the cats.

Water is an extremely valuable commodity. Coyotes
like to steal bowls and run off with them. Crows like
to harrass the hawks. Someone's always harrassing
someone else. Kinda like here.

Lemme tell you a story, nature-boy.
A bunch of years ago Greenpeace went to the ice-fields to protest the spring
seal hunt by spray-painting the baby seals with green paint. The idea was to
ruin the value of the pelts. They learned why the baby seals were white when
the polar bears came.
