The foxes in my back garden feel safe enough to sleep on their backs - enjoying the sun on their bellies

I took these pictures from my bedroom window. There are always foxes in the communal garden to our block, because people don't really use it so they feel safe

They act very similarly to dogs. They chase each other, pretend to fight, and I've even seen them playing with balls and other things they can use as toys

They're smart enough to be wary of humans, and when I go into my garden, they watch me cautiously.

If I appear to be moving in their direction, they disappear into the bushes

@rufustheduck How wonderful! And what a beauty.

@StaceyCornelius I am very lucky to have them living in my garden

@Nazani I have earplugs for that exact reason

@Nazani its difficult to say what's worse - all the rats, or all the murder

@christymarx I feel very lucky to have so many foxes living right outside my window

[rufustheduck@mastodon.social]

@peterbrown they're definitely working on it
