Make sure you don't "tame" him to the point he rules your life.

Cute! 😁 I used to make pets out of the ones by our house in Wisconsin. Took a few hours of clicking a pair of marbles together n throwing peanuts closer n closer to myself. I'd finally get them to climb my leg n take them off my knee, then outta my hand. Then I'd move closer to the house and throw more. Finally after doing that a while, I'd open the door n coax them in. They'd follow the peanut up the chair leg n onto the table...which drove Mom nuts. 😂 They'd even jump in the car with me n ride into town. Didn't work with every chippy, but there were always one or two that had no fear.

Worldtalker, if I left my door open I don't want to think of what might let itself in. We have every critter known anywhere here. My hens, who live in Ft. Chicken Knox have had a fox, raccoon, bobcat, mountain lion, red tailed hawk and even a bald eagle go after them. They were all unsuccessful. BTW I really don't like going out at night.

I only crack the door during the day when I'm home.
