I was teaching Chaucer's Nun's Priest's Tale today (based on Aesop fox story)

happy to have foxes on my mind and in my life

Hopefully not the one we dragged, lifeless, from under our patio bench a few weeks later.

one month passes...

there's a small park near my house, cutting thru it tonight there was a great big fox sitting amongst the trees watching me pass by with complete chillness. 5 minutes later me and Joel are walking back thru the park and we realise there's not one but a pair of them, still unfazed by passing spectators. then they trot off into the undergrowth to presumably listen to some vulpine Barry White.

i hate the phrase 'broad daylight', what a miserable pleonasm

Nilmar Honorato da Silva, Saturday, 23 November 2013 00:55 (twelve years ago)

tbh i think the ongoing emboldenment of foxes might well be a country-wide phenomenon

also i read this thread as Unban Foxes, which is exactly how i feel about one of the few regular fauna to grace london streets and the most disparaged of the non-verminous

Don't see so many around my area these days so I was happy to see a very bushy-tailed fella run along my street as I came home around midnight last night.

saw 2 cubs last night rooting around under a van before scarpering into some overgrown pre-construction wasteland

was deeply heartening

i think foxes should be unbanned too. hell of a poster but misunderstood.

soxahatchee (Treeship), Wednesday, 14 May 2014 01:17 (twelve years ago)

I spotted either a pair of foxes or coyotes scurrying across the street a little while back, which is pretty unusual around here. In my neighborhood, we have a very large and growing deer population that is rapidly getting out of hand, plus a random assortment of skunks, raccoons, and armadillos. Up until recently, my backyard was a regular old vermin preserve.

there's a presumably escaped pet rabbit that lives somewhere behind the school playing field, i see it most mornings sat on the field within fleeing distance of the dense hedgerow, a big fat black and white lad. when he disappears for a few days i wonder if the foxes have had him but he's clearly quite a canny survivor by now, he's been around for months

Unban Foxes

°ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Wednesday, 14 May 2014 13:44 (twelve years ago)

Unfortunately, my neighborhood just has a million bucks. Also, several female deers have given birth in my front yard. Must look like a maternity ward to them. And my front lawn must look like a deer toilet...

It would be nice to have some foxes show up and get these fuckers in line.

Foxes are tad small to hunt deer. Coyotes seems like the better bet against deer.

Merdeyeux, Friday, 16 May 2014 16:01 (twelve years ago)

Re: coyotes vs. deer. Because they don't hunt in packs like wolves, coyotes can't possibly predate on adult does or bucks. Young fawns are small enough to be coyote prey, though.

Incident At Spanish Harlem (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 22 July 2014 19:47 (eleven years ago)

Louise from across the road warned me today about a deadly fox in the area, when it appeared in her garden she ran at the poor bugger with a hard bristle sweeping brush. I tried to explain to her that this fox was probably in need of hydration and terrified.

They were doing their business in our front garden so I invested in one of these (invented by my late brother-in-law, incidentally):

Foxes steal newspapers! Just what are they trying to do by blocking humans' access to information?

one year passes...

There are some large and partly overgrown gardens at the back of our house and there's at least 3 foxes living in there. There are 2 we see together quite often lately so I think they probably have cubs. Just now we saw the pair of foxes in the garden behind ours right by these 2 black cats (there are loads of cats around here too) and they pretty much just ignored/weren't bothered by each other. The foxes were running around the garden, probably looking for food, while the cats just stayed in the same spot. We were a bit concerned at first when we saw the 2 foxes right next to one of the cats (didn't see the other cat at first) but the cat just stood its ground I guess.

All the foxes look a bit mangy. One of them has no fur on its tail at all. Sometimes I leave some bread out in the garden with some marmite and mange medicine on it (apparently foxes love marmite), but I was looking at the bottle and it's homeopathic so I'm a bit skeptical that it actually does anything for them. We got it from a fox protection society though. I'm also not convinced the foxes are even the ones eating it with all the seagulls around here.

hear this kind of thing almost every night at my parents' house

I had to jam on the brakes the other day because a fox trotted across the road in front of my car carrying something in its mouth that might well have been a young rabbit. There's at least one full family of them living in the dunes behind our housing estate.
