We have lived in the country for 3 months now and I have been educated in many ways. Here is what I have learned about the wildlife so far.
10. Blue jays have a very loud squack that can have you out of bed at 6am before you even have your eyes open.
9. Squirrels and chimpmunks have a running bet going on who can get closest to a car's tires without getting run over.
8. Deer will not move out of the way of a car until you are within 3 feet of it, and even then you may have to honk your horn.
7. In the summer, the birds starting singing at 4am
6. Raccoons use roads as their own personal trails.
5. Roadkill smells worse than anything I have ever smelled before.
4. Spiders in the country are bigger and better at hiding than their city cousins.
3. There are milipedes in the country that get up to 4 inches in length and can mysteriously appear in any room of your house at any given time.
2. Flies like to hang out in a guinea pig's cage
1. Buying deer resistant plants and spraying them with deer resistant spray does not deter deer from eating them.
We are finished!
