Brilliant! It took me to this one:

@BlueGreenGrey Absolutely!

Knowing me though, if there are foxes, raccoons and deer, I'd provide feeders for them too....and before I know it, I'd have all the forest animals camping out in my garden 😂
@LilMissAnonyMOUSE I put some cat food out for a couple of fox kits once, and they ate some ... then a raccoon came along and finished it off, the raccoon was hilarious, it sat and rocked on its butt (it could never get perfectly balanced) while holding the container with its front paws

I know it's not really a good idea to feed wild animals, not even birds really, so maybe with the bigger mammals I might limit it to winter, in case they are more likely to struggle with foraging in those months, but I would love to see deer too ... all the deer I saw on the US west coast seem so tame, even fed apples to some of them, they're like pets but they're still wild ... I've put out corn for Canada geese before as well, even though my state has at times had so many they actually culled them (in spite of them being protected by a migratory bird treaty, but these here don't migrate at all)
@BlueGreenGrey I want to thank you on behalf of the animals you've assisted. I think that's really good of you to help them out.

True, but you know what, it's hard to resist providing food for an obviously hungry animal. I feel humans have been greedy in obtaining too much land, that we have greatly reduced their habitat. Animals are instinctively fearful of humans and when they approach us without fear and ask for food, it's not a good sign. We have disrupted the balance and it shows.

@LilMissAnonyMOUSE Have. Incredible not only the innovation of basically cute tree rats....but that dudes incorporated insightful nature. Very cool.
@PunxiThe guy certainly helps us understand how this particular animal is intelligent. Very cool, indeed.Thanks☺

@BlueGreenGrey Lol, true...sadly, Mighty Mouse might be the only flying mouse of its species....or are there mice with that membrane of skin flying squirrels have so they can fly?

I just found out that the membrane is called ''Patagium'' and they don't technically fly but glide which is true because they don't actually fly up in the air and flap their '' wings '' or patagium. So, shouldn't they be called gliding squirrels instead? lol
@LilMissAnonyMOUSE I Googled and it does not seem that there are any true mice which glide ... however, the feathertail glider (another Aussie marsupial) looks a lot like a cute little mouse to me (they seem to be small enough to fit in your hand) ... I think bats are the only mammals capable of true free flight (and the large flying foxes / foxbats are adorable looking as well)

@BlueGreenGrey

That's so cute, look at its eyes. Named for its tail, the feathertail glider really does have tails that look like a feather and I seem to see webbed feet, which makes me think they may be good swimmers.

I was curious to see what they look like, these bats known as flying foxes/foxbats and wow, they are big. It's said that they play a vital role in pollinating plants and spreading seeds in Australia's native forests. Some bats come out at night here in the area where I live, but they're small and are harmless...in fact, they help get rid of mosquitoes and other insects.

Thank you for looking up the information☺👍
