Thank you for posting this and your concern for wild animals. They were here before we were and deserve some respect for that alone.

(Nothing on you, because maybe you’re running a small family farm, or simply have a backyard chicken coop.) My friend said the raccoons at their farm didn’t eat most of the chickens they beheaded, which is part of what was shocking to her. Nevertheless, seems like you’ve found a great and humane solution. BTW, I watched a large raccoon, for about 30 minutes, washing its hands, drinking water, and I think eating bugs out of a small human made “pond” fed by fresh piped-in water, in a friend’s backyard last summer. Took some video. I enjoyed watching the fineness of its movements, and we seemed to agree not to bother one another.

This reminds me of when I was a kid. We lived in the surburbs and had an indoor/outdoor cat so we'd leave a bowl of food outside for him. Naturally, we had some nocturnal animals come through. A possum, a skunk, and a few raccoons. The raccoons we saw the most and it got to the point that my dad once hand fed them vanilla oreo cookies. Not the chocolate ones. He'd lean out the window, they'd reach up to take it and they'd eat it. One summer, we had one of those pop up pools. We kept it covered to keep the bugs out of it at night. Well, one night we hear a squabbling outside. We go to check it out and it's the racoons. They had found their way under the cover and into the pool and were fighting over the rubber ducky.

I live in London & have had around 4 generations of foxes that pretty much live in my back garden. London foxes are quite urban & not nocturnal as we see them at all times of the day. I feed them every day whatever the weather & have been doing so for many many years. There was one in particular a female who passed away last year Foxilee, who would always come when I called her & take the chicken right out of my hand. That’s trust for you but I had known her & her mom before both since infancy. They are super intelligent, very inquisitive & once they trust you will even come into the house in summer when the doors are open & take a seat. They are wild foxes & I never pet them but do name them and notice how different their personalities are. They are so adorable. I hate how they are vilified. I have had cats the entire time & have never lost one to a Fox. One of my cats used to eat from the same container as them at the same time & they never showed the slightest aggression towards my cat who could definitely take care of herself. They can be skittish & shy around strangers.

[@rubytwoshoes1032]

Your absolutely right, I have a female fox who sleeps on my balcony(first floor flat) she's is beautiful, I don't feed her because I don't need to she is super healthy, in the summer I have the door open and she still sits there.

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 I’ve lived here for 23 years & there are lots of cats in the neighbourhood who visit my garden. My last 2 cats died of old age at 20 & 22. I have an 8 yr old now who goes out unsupervised every day & night too & they all co exist very well. She doesn’t run away when she sees them. Maybe as you say it’s because they are well fed, and maybe it’s genetics as it has been a few generations of the same family & they have become conditioned to being with cats but my experience with them has been without incident. A bout 3 years ago I gave them an old teddy as they love to play with stuff & they love it chasing around after the one that has it. The Teddy is always in the garden and to date is fully intact. Not torn apart with the stuffing ripped out of it, if the teddy was given to a dog I don’t quite think it would share the same fate. By the way I love dogs & had an English bull terrier who passed away some years ago. She was raised with the foxes & never chased them, or other cats, she just saw them as other dogs I think. One of my cats used to come on our walks when we used to go out as they were super attached. I do really think it’s conditioning as I had a hamster that only slept in her cage & was always out roaming around which is quite something as I had 2 cats at the same time. One cat basically ignored her whilst the other a male loved her & she would climb all over him. Friends were always shocked when they witnessed this. Ha ha. I think all animals can be taught that just because another is smaller it doesn’t make them prey & that they are all part of a pack. It does require patience & calmness though. Although as in any species you always have rogues. 😁

A lot of people respect animals. There’s people who go out there and rescue and save abandoned and injured animals and take care of them and bring them back to health and set the animals free to be in their own natural environment. People have had pets for centuries and don’t put them in tight spaces or small cages. They love their pets like their own babies and let their pets play outdoors to get fresh air, they’re fed well and get veterinary help when their sick, also, it’s better than taking meds for depression or anxiety. And zoos have been around for a couple centuries..they take care of the animals 24/7, and will live a lot longer than in the wild and adults and kids get an education about the animal. It makes people happy. Everyone appreciates and respect animals. Who said that people don’t? It’s odd how some people see animal video’s similar to this one and need to say, “It’s about time someone appreciates animals”, or your comment about people respecting animals. If you actually notice and read about it or visit places that has animal sanctuaries or even the zoo, you’ll see that the employees and the animals are perfectly happy. There’s nothing wrong in having pets, they show love and appreciation back because they know they’re safe and loved. I don’t get how some people actually think animals aren’t appreciated or think it’s awful to have a pet. I rather save an animal than let it be abandoned or in danger for other wildlife’s prey. I’m so glad I rescued my first two cats that were found abandoned since they were kittens and my friends found another kitten left alone and I volunteer to take a couple, so they won’t be attacked by other stray dogs or cats or even by coyotes. So glad most of this world has a pet or five! Lol

And other easy fox food pets like rabbits should also be kept inside imo, but that's a whole other issue. I'd recommend a channel like "Lennon the Bunny" for that kind of stuff. Besides chickens and such, dogs and cats are seen more as equals by foxes, and not prey. Foxes aren't the same threat to pets as coyotes or bob cats or anything like that.

The fox noticed us quite late and stopped and i slowly moved back a bit more, as he was maybe within 4 or 5 meters of me. After a little while of just looking at each other the fox went over to my golf-ball and started playing with it.. (don't worry, other golfers.. there were no flights behind us, so we didn't cause any delay). We thought this was pretty funny, and i made some pictures, but obviously we kept some distance. I then took another ball and my friend and I started to continue our game from one of the other tee-boxes, and then the fox disappeared back into the bushes (I think the sound of hitting the driver scared it), so i then went back to the initial tee-box to get my ball back. The ball got lost in a water hazard a few holes later, but I'm sure the fox had a fun time :)

foxes are notorious cheaters when it comes to golf

[@cdh79]

@@Romanticoutlaw yes, his swing-style was very unconventional, and his choice of clubs was questionable as well.. he didn't make his drive past the ladies-tee, so he still owes me a drink at the club-house, but he took off before paying, so I don't think I would want to play a full round with that fox if the opportunity presented itself in future..

[@georgina-a]

Thank you for accommodating him and letting him play rather than just shooing him away like many would have done x

[@cdh79]

​@@georgina-a I would never have done that, and had it been up to me, then I would have stayed much longer. I love animals, and they seem to like me (some of my neighbors cats spend their day at my house, as they seem to prefer it here). I've even been fortunate to have been free-diving with whale sharks in the wild. We (humanity) need to realize much more, that we're not the only ones and there's just something special about peaceful interactions and showing mutual respect to one another. :)

[@Dargonhuman]

That story reminds me of a video I saw a while ago of a couple whose gold game was interrupted by a bobcat (I think?) that was going after their balls. They got so wrapped up playing with the cat that they nearly forgot they were playing golf. True animal lovers know the pure, raw joy that a playful animal can bring and don't mind stopping everything they're doing to join in.

[@JamesWiltshire]

I used to set up a bowl of dogfood to feed a fox every night at our old place, the foxes would play out on the street with the cats at night as well. Beautiful creatures

[@JamesWiltshire]

@Brain Can bit cruel putting your mice out mate?

[@LovinLnCottage]

This video was so inspiring to watch because you respected their wildness and provided a safe environment for them to be themselves. I live on acreage in northern Florida. For two years in a row, I had two dens on my property. The two couples raised 4 kits each! It was such fun to watch them with my telephoto lens on a tripod. The foxes left because I got a new neighbor who respects nothing and thinks that he is the only person in all of creation who has rights. He destroyed the habitat that was supporting them. I hope he didn’t just kill them. One of the dens was on our mutual property line. Karma is a coyote. 😊 it shows up when you least expect it. Thank you for sharing your experience. ☮️❤️🙏

To think these highly intelligent and beautiful Animals are still used for fur, fox hunts, traps, etc is sooooo DISGUSTING!!! Too often treated as pests & vermin, they also get blamed for things they don't do or for doing what foxes do do. They are far too maligned when they are actually quite gentle, shy & fearful of us-- as they should be, sadly. How wonderful this young lady sees their beauty & sweetness too! Nice share Dodo, thanks! 🦊💖🐾🌈🇨🇦☘️

[@brendasnow8255]

I’ve lived on this road for nearly 30 years, and only saw gray foxes, which are littler . Still curious, though. A couple of years ago, red foxes made a den in the yard of a vacation house, and raised 3 kits. I still occasionally see one in broad daylight, which is really a treat. Once, one ambled past our shed, not knowing our dog, nearly the same size, was out. It was funny to see how surprised they both were. We also saw one on the sidewalk on Independence Blvd in DC, one night after attending the IMAX at the Air & Space museum.

[@williampapadopoulos8145]

What is utterly amazing is that your dog didn’t bark up a storm when it saw the foxes. It sat there and silently watched them. What a cool experience to see foxes playing in your backyard!
