OFF TOPIC: Quiet Neighborhood?

I wouldn't go quite that far but I was not happy to have them in my roof
back in Melb or in the Blue Mtns. The sneaky little devils actually had a
door there! they would lift a tile, get into the roof, and slide the tile
back in place. You could hear them going in and out. The landlord had to
get the whole roof re-pointed to fix the problem.

But I did have one little fella with three legs who came and sat on my back
fence at sundown every night hoping for a little fruit. Being lame he was
obviously finding it a bit hard. I must admit I did sometimes throw him
something. But that was in the National Park, not in the suburbs. I also
got regular visits from owls, cockatoos, parrots and 'roos, not to mention
the snakes and spiders (funnel webs and red backs)..

I feel a little sorry for the critters trapped in big cities. There are so
few safe places for them. But I cannot bring myself to encourage them to
breed and become pests.

Hee Hee!

I have a friend who hates possums.
He calls them 'giant filthy greasy tree rats'.

We've had them living under our porch occassionaly. Fortunately, the
cats
have been smart enough to leave them alone.

Only if you want to loose a finger, mate?

Glad your intruder came and went with no damage!!

Possums are so cute and have the finest downy fur. When we lived on our
farm in Powell, MO we had a baby left after our dogs killed it's Mommy. It
ate dog food with the dogs until it grew up and moved away. It would play
dead and we would rub it's tummy. It liked it so well it would roll over
and present it's belly every time it saw us.
