I can give you a couple of reasons..

1--My patio roof is pretty high--never measured--but i need a 10' ladder to
hang my roll-down shades. Need a ladder s well to reach my windows.

2--I will be 78 in a month or so--not climbing and doing anything like that.
No one else in my life to doit either. Nor does it bother me.

3--I am NOT going to be the protector of all animals and wildlife. They have done well
all on their own for centuries. Be--and let be..

Call me insensitive--but that is how I think about life---live and let live--or die.

Jill--I have NO Turkey Vultures here--nor possums or racoons.
In the 47 years I have lived here--i have seen a racoon twice--ONE rat once--
a Fox--twice and a Hawk twice. Those of you that have been here will understand.
Do you? You also live in a development. BUT--you have woods behind you.
I just have 4 more houses and a BIG High School 4 houses away.

My street is a busy 4 lane road with endless traffic on it. Hard to get out of my driveway.
School buses 4 times a day--coming and going...(there is also a Middle School
on my street)--about 3/4 mi. away.

Not much "nature" around here....barren yards (except mine) and a lot of old people.
Some dogs...lots of sparrows and other birds.

My street towards the west
My street facing East.My house is on the right--where the Subaru is parked.
Looking back at the house, the patio and how high it is. The LR and DR windows
just under it.
Ny house looking from the street. (these pics are all from 2011)

All our of reach.....
