A good range. Do you feed the birds, or just pick out houses with a varied local population :-)

I had been wandering why the neighbourhood cats occasionally liked to sit in my very small 'garden' (turning on the outside night), a mystery solved to some extent when moving the dustbin revealed a vole.

We feed them :-)

(On some or all of peanuts, sunflower seeds, nijer seeds, oats, raisins, apples, fat bars and water).

I have several foxes to spare, if you'd like to have them sent along?

Yes please!

I will tell them to pack their foxy suitcases and be off. Keep an eye out round your dustbins for them!

Will do! :-)
