I live in the city, though we are near some green space and I think that's why there are sometimes deer wandering into the garden. Some of them are pretty weary of humans - understandable as they are hunted at certain times of the year - but some are pretty curious. There are three that have been coming to the garden. I know they are the same ones because the one below has rather unique antlers growing. Perhaps once he gets bigger I won't be able to tell the difference, but for now it's nice to be able to.
See how he has two on one side and one on the other? I wonder if they will even out when they grow.
He usually comes with another smaller male and a female. He strides right up to the table without fear. If he's in the garden when I come with a cup of bird food he hangs around waiting nearby until I put some on the table. The birds aren't too happy when he eats their food! The other two are a little slower coming to the table. There is plenty of other greenery for them to eat in the garden at this time of year. I must admit they are a little pest-y (is that a word lol). I tried planting a garden a few times before the bird feeding adventure and they ate everything. This was before I knew they were around - or perhaps I just wasn't paying attention.
On this day when I saw them they went down to the neighbour's garden, but soon jumped back over the fence when they heard the dogs another garden down.
