I am trying to walk every day. There is a little park not far away.
Yesterday, I sat on the bench under a tree and started taking photos of it. A little squirrel would come out and look at me. I pointed the phone in his direction, and he disappeared. He kept coming out to check on me, and then he was gone. I talked to him every time he popped up.
Do you talk to squirrels, birds, or other wildlife? Do you love animals?

Yes;I do.But not loudly.I know they understand me.Yes;I talk to an old banyan tree in the jungle I visit every morning.The tree understands me;too.
Trees;birds;animals;animals and even stones understand our emotions.They understand what we think or feel about them.I have read about it and feel they know whether we love or hate them.

@mosherii I think;it takes them time to realize we are their friends;not foes.The truth is;we have rarely maintained friendly relations with them.

Not wildlife, but to the cat. I don't want the squirrel that hangs around my porch to think we are buddies. He might try to get inside some day.

We rescued a baby squirrel recently - it must've fell from our big ash tree. It's back in the tree and thriving with the others now. It was particularly on the small side . . . for now we could still spot it . . . it was named "The Little". There are at least 4 living in the tree . . . when I see a small one, I always ask "Are you 'The Little'?". I don't know if the stare is a yes or no .

My daughter talked to plants. She gave them all names and asked them how they were and what do they need now.
Many people have said that if you get extra money from whatever source, do not talk about it in front of your car, refrigerator, or other appliances. Keep it private, put it in the bank, or spend it. If your appliances know, one or more will break down.

I had a bad experience with possums. One day, I found two possums in my kitchen fighting over a crate of Ramen noodles. I did not want to use them after that so I dumped the ramen in a field where the possums live. At least, they could finish eating them. There was a baby possum in a waste basket. i thought of keeping it for a pet but did not have a cage so I took it outside and let it go.

@aureategloom They could do both of these things. Rodents chew things. It is their worst quality as a pet, it is what they are programmed to do.

@akalinus my husband is a bit against it because he's afraid that they might bite our cables or stack nuts in weird places, but they]re just too cute

I love animals. There are few mylotters who have openly admitted to talking to their pets.I used to talk to my dog and cat when they were alive . I used to talk on the random things. I have never really u if nderstood what I ever said to them , however, they used to hug if it is sad topic or lick me if it is a happy one. However, now they are gone and I am busy with other things in life , do not have much opportunities other than self-talk. I know a few who speak to plants and they too have understood our talk and emotions. Well, guess we all have a way to communicate even without language with other animal species.

When the neighborhood strays pass by the house, George calls out to them.
