"What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

See?

Oops I meant “see off” which means, either chase them away, or deter them , or maybe give them “ a jolly good hiding” . (Jolly good hiding dies not mean play a game of seek and hide. It means a fight, that is quite fierce. The loser getting the hiding. ( being beaten).
Don’t fancy those squirrel recipes. At all. Like eating a rat.

Would geese see of squirrels?

Geese will see off anything! But the squirrels can probably outrun them and get away up a tree.

You would be supplied with plenty of manure, too.

I do encourage hedgehogs, there's always water for them and two hog houses, one at each end of the garden. There's always a fair bit of healthy hedgie poo around the garden so I must be doing something right! Sadly they don't get the caterpillars because I grow my vegetables in pots and raised beds - due to the local cats who had a meeting and voted my garden the best toilet (I have to do a daily poo patrol) so I daren't grow things in the ground.

Something I've noticed this year for the first time is snail shells with half-eaten snails still in them. I discovered it is beetles eating them, which is a real bonus. I do seem to have less snails now, but either the beetles don't go for slugs or the slugs are just too prolific for them to make a difference.

Your garden sounds quite the menagerie

Indian runner ducks could be the answer!
And they make any garden so much more fun to spend time in.

Unlike our Canada geese which just give you dirty looks if you dare go near wherever they feel entitled to be.
