I had the brilliant Idea to plant a peach tree in my backyard. Had to murder 3 squirrels, countless birds, and an unknown number of raccoons.

When I finally harvested the peaches, over half had grubs in them

We planted peach trees in our backyard, and we found the same problems. You have to spray your trees for insects.

Building cages for pests.

And after all of that we decided to not keep them because Michigan is to far north for peach trees to be healthy.

Well Im in the rolling hills of ole Virginia

But also gonna chop it down

Its not worth the warfare

One of those squirrels survived the rat trap and I had to dispatch it with an axe

haha damn

My backyard was abloody mess last summer

hamburger hill

The racoons I poisoned then felt like a horrible piece of shit for

They are just trying to make it in a cruel world

life aint fair

And the birds were just causalities of the squirrel traps

All for some grub filled peaches

well theyll learn

Lol

Im just gonna chop it down. Store has better peaches anyway

You know whats freaky though. Crows didnt fall for any of it

just like vietnam. lost the will to fight and pulled out

The crows just sat there and stared at me

crows are actually smart

Yeah

Like theyd eat the fruit not in the trap

Wouldnt touch the fruit on the rat trap

And always stared at me. They knew

lo yup

Crows have been proven to remember people who have been dicks to them and to specifically target them for harassment

Even just doing drive-by poopings haha

good thing for pellet guns then

Conversely, they sometimes bring shinies to people they like... they did that for years for a little girl in NYC, I think

Yeah I heard that

Shed leave out food and theyd bring her stuff

yee

And attacked kidnappers.

I wouldn't mind having a murder of crows as ~~my familiars~~ pets

Really??
