Mammals have similar brain wiring, so this is not surprising. I know neighbours cows really like (not all of them) music. If they would be checking it out for oddity reasons they wouldn't stay so long and start looking around while they listen. And advice from this man to keep music simple also helps, because to see paterns may not be so easy for some animals, so simpler music gives them more joy, and complicated music looses them because it starts to sound as just noise. Just think of some very complicated music from classic era. :)

We have a fox that visits our garden every night. She's Vixie, aged around 1 year old. She started coming to our garden last summer and we've been feeding her (enough to be healthy - its a strict policy to never over feed) ever since. My two cats wait by the back door every night to watch her (we have motion activated lights). We think she gave birth last week as she was definitely pregnant and vanished for a couple of days (she never does that). Appears she's given birth and is now in "hi, gimme all the food" mode to feed her cubs. We leave some eggs out for her to take back to the little ones. Really hope to see her bring her cubs in a couple of months. There's so much wildlife where I live in London. We have Parakeets too that live wild here. I have images/video on my IG, which you can find on my YT bio 👊

We have parakeets in Luxembourg too. It's those green ones you can see also in Barcelona. The Luxembourg ones are some of those who were accidentally released in Belgium.

When my parents are in their yard watering flowers or whatever they are doing, the wild animals just stay close to them and don’t run away. They know they are safe there and these humans won’t hurt them. They’ll be walking through their yard looking like Snow White with a crowd of forest creatures of all kinds around them like they are all friends. They’ll pour out birdseed on the ground and wild rabbits will hop right up to them as they pour, wild birds immediately fly down to them and everyone just starts eating at my parent’s feet like they aren’t even standing there 😂.

I feel exactly the same. So moving!

[@UnderTheMillkyWay]

The fox and the jam. That's a special treat for sure for both of you.

[@sabivett686]

What a view every morning and evening, that place is paradise.

[@leoniedeyoung8086]

What a beautiful story and that area looks like heaven on earth. What a fantastic opportunity for a child to learn about animals and to appreciate them. Thank you for doing what you do, we need more in this world like you.

[@harry__vince]

To bond with hurt animals so they can trust again is such a wonderful gift. Never ever lose it.

[@sarahgrossman1826]

I feel like I’m a better human for even watching this. Thank you for being awesome people.

[@victorwadsworth821]

Animals are the nicest people.

This is how humans are meant to live! Not the crazy depressive lives so many of us do lead. A simpler and more meaningful life.

[@Yasmin-pi5pr]

totally! nature should be part of everyday life =)

[@ytaccount4sportsmore589]

I mean no harm but please remember that life treats everyone differently. For many, a simpler and more meaningful life looks different than this.

[@joeschmoe2843]

Not to rain on your ignorant parade but... It is our crazy depressive lives that allow a man to even live like this with our modern conveniences. 100 years ago attracting a fox by banjo would have netted you a free hat or fox pie.

[@Virjunior01]

YOU COMMIE 🤣

[@Virjunior01]

@@joeschmoe2843 stop pretending this "progress" has actually been that. It's "convenience," and the way it's being handled is horribly.

[@kathyvenable8793]

Beautiful. So nice to hear stories like this to fill the heart instead of all the crap of hatred and war that fills our mind.

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

Definitely, wish more people would realize that all the negative crap in the world is fully on purpose and how the powers that be control us through fear. They figure it's how they best stay in power, all of their terror and war garbage for the military industrial complex.

[@northofyou33]

That is absolutely the sweetest thing ever.

AMAZING😊 THIS IS PARADISE TO COME... GREETINGS FROM THE NETHERLANDS ❤

[@mary-anneswanson8445]

I love the fact that man and fox enjoy each others company and go about their own lives . I think they really respect each other :)

[@RH-iy6vq]

What does the Fox say? Nothing it just sits there and listens gracefully.

[@mikerodrick2430]

He's probably trying to tell the guy to keep it down. His family's trying to sleep or eat. 🤣

[@suzanneta8]

That would make a great children's book!

[@unfailingcolt8928]

What a beautiful 😍 place you get that call home!! It’s like paradise, plus a little buddy. Can’t ask for anything more. Lucky family Foxy has. 🙏❤️🥰

[@rauna47]

That sunset.. such a beautiful sight. most of us would pay for something like that.

[@krissygirl333]

That’s great that you are featuring him. I’ve been following him for a while now and I love how foxy comes and sits and listens to him. I just watched his latest this morning. I hope he gains more followers it’s a great little channel

[@15minutedelay66]

Whats his channel?

[@rockinbobokkin7831]

This amazes me.... because I saw something like this in my life. I was jamming out , late at night on guitar, in Denver, and a fox came to me and I didn't know it, but she touched my neck with her whiskers and then sat in front of me. Peculiar creatures those foxes.

[@blu3j00Ls]

It sounds like an unforgettable memory :')

[@leaf2180]

This video is so sweet. It's so nice to see grown men loving foxes. All of the grown "men" in my area hate them and will blame their own mistakes on the foxes. Wish I could be there to experience this. Truly a magical moment ❤

[@Stardust414]

Everything I feel has already been said but I still have to compliment this gentleman on his gentle nature & meaningful way of life - I pray we evolve to a kinder way of coexisting 🙏🦊🦃🦌🕊️✌️💜

[@lf3541]

That view tho...spectacular! 😍 Foxy is one lucky kit to enjoy it too.

[@rossroderickwhitney]

In these horrible times, a glimmer of real hope.

[@alixyarrow5821]

In another life, that fox was a kind-hearted old fella living up in them hills, playing his banjo for his family just like you. Maybe some day a long time from now, if you're lucky, you'll find yourself following the sound of banjo playing, on some other hill. And you'll be that family's fox companion.

[@elliotmiller7427]

Beutiful comment

[@Indrakusuma_a]

I always dream, that one day, myself sitting at the porch, with a cup of tea and some cookies, just enjoying the majestic view like this guy and his family have. He has it all plus the regular visit of the wild animals around them. So cool.

[@courtney9213]

I love how he dosent try to interfere with the fox. He dosent try to pet or feed him. He just shares his music with him

[@noel_996]

God this seems like a getaway dream (Especially with current events rn). Foxes are so cool.

[@frankbrown4373]

A fox with good taste in music. Cool.

[@EspeciallyEl]

Sometimes I wonder if humans had encountered foxes sooner if they would've "self-domesticated" like cats did, given they fill similar ecological niches. At 1:45 Foxy stretches just like my cat and it got me thinking... Foxes were always my favorite wild animal since early childhood so maybe it's just a biased dream, but what a special experience to befriend a wild creature like Foxy.

[@FinchDoodles]

It would be interesting. I have seen some to tune channels that have Foxes as a pet but mainly because they can’t live in the wild. They are beautiful but even kept as a pet they are wild animals at heart. Who knows if one day foxes will be domesticated, I highly doubt it but it is still beautiful to see relationships between human and foxes!

[@yellow_sprouts]

Look up the Russian fox breeding experiements!experiments!! Its a study that now has the only source of domesticated foxes- since they would only let foxes who were friendly breed and its actually worked- I cant say for certain all the specifics since it's been a while since I've seen it buy its worth the read

[@user-fc7kj2hv3w]

@@yellow_sprouts while they are very cool and interesting those foxes still aren't like cats and dogs yet. They are domestic but because they've only had a few decades of selective breeding they're not quite as domesticated as typical house pets. They're more like dingos then dogs.

[@camerond7654]

Idk why but I always think foxes are like a mix between a dog and a cat- they kinda have characteristics of both

[@justsortahere9985]

@@medexamtoolscom Cats also overhunt, they're invasive and harm the ecosystem. They've led to the extinction of multiple animals. I still love them. I understand you not liking foxes but I feel it's important to recognize they're still animals, they don't kill your chickens just for the fun of it and they don't do it to ruin your life or livelihood. They do it becuase of a prey drive like cats. Cats overhunt because they don't know when their next meal will be so their instincts tell them to hunt when they see and bury what they don't eat for later. They often don't this for places near humans becuase that instinct gets overtaken by the fear of the area being dangerous. It's the same for foxes. However there are animals that kill for fun, orcas, dolphins, and sea lions are three come to mind. Animals often adored and found adorable by most people, even though they do much, much worse than kill chickens.

[@johnnysockov2755]

"The fox just likes it simple". Pretty awesome, it's a beautiful place to raise a family Andy.

[@cindiqq2292]

At 2:25 when you say I love it so much and Foxy is looking towards the horizon… I can’t tell If what’s ahead are clouds or snow. Gorgeous shot.

[@DG-kr8pt]

Its snow. Snow hundreds of feet, tall as the mountains.

[@scottvillett4854]

Now that is how life should be.......I love to see wild animals who become comfortable around people because they grow to trust them and know they have nothing to fear........I just wish that more people would see this and be awed by it and understand how important this is......we should all strive to earn the trust that this guy has earned
