The squirrels were constantly attacking my bird feeder, so I made a deal with them--I'd leave them peanuts in a separate feeder at the end of the yard. This worked for a short time, until blue jays discovered the peanuts and now currently raid the squirrel feeder.
Meanwhile, raccoons prowl around the perimeter of the yard at night, but I've been leaving out dog biscuits and chicken scraps for what appears to be a shy fox which comes by every night in order to discourage the raccoons (I don't care for animals with hands). At least, I hope the fox is still around--do raccoons eat Milk Bones?
In addition, there is the gang of deer which come by every night for corn; the only issue with them is that they sometimes single out one deer and chase it away. I'm trying to befriend this one by coaxing it with food while the others aren't around.
It's a jungle out there.
