We
like to make our garden animal friendly. We have raised orphaned
squirrels and racoons. We also have foxes, rabbits, snakes, lizards, varieties
of insects, and even armadillo which are not native to Florida. We
have many Carolina Wrens and Cardinals and birds of prey (like barn owls). We try to
minimize pesticide use. We have a swamp part of the year and do not
spray for mosquitoes. We prefer to use minnows for natural control .We believe in the cycle of life. We have even had a small
alligator visit our swamp . Our
neighbors try to restrict even squirrels,unfortunately.
