There is a bird in Fountain Square Mall. It keeps flying around the building and is not finding a way out. We cannot figure out how to catch it.
Two of these animals are living under our shed. They are beginning to chop away at the wood and foundation.
Why isn’t the city addressing the deer population? They are a nuisance, attacking my dogs and destroying property.
We have 2 adult and about 5-6 kits roaming our yard and neighborhood and becoming aggressive towards our neighborhood pets. Also concerned about children as we have grandchildren visit often and there are other small children on the block. We had a rabid fox a few years ago in our yard (another house - we've moved). These don't appear rabid at this time, but know they are carriers.
Dead deer, dear.
I was walking my dog this morning when we noticed a deer ahead in the road, several hundred feet away. So we stopped and turned around to go the other way. I looked back after turning and realized it was aggressively running at us. Fortunately I am young and am able to run. But others in my neighborhood may not be so fortunate. This is completely unacceptable. I know that this is likely a doe protecting a fawn nearby, but I find this unacceptable as a citizen trying to use a public road to walk. It’s outrageous. Had I not seen it running at us it could have attacked and killed my dog, as they have been known to do, or attacked me.
Several coyotes that have started to make a home in the wooded area and field behind where I live. They have been starting to coming into the neighborhood Arbor Ridge at all different times. My neighbor had an encounter with one while walking her dog. It wasn’t scared of her and became very territorial. Usually coyotes in this area move on but never have seen them so consistently in the area I live especially leaving the field and coming into our neighborhood. There a lot of elderly folks with dogs and this could become dangerous if no one intervenes.
There has been a white cat roaming in our neighborhood that aggravates our cats at home. The cat comes up to our back door and antagonizes our house cats. He seems friendly, but has no collar and causes a disturbance in our home.
A dog that resides at 1615 Treadwell Ln, Bloomington, IN 47408 is allowed to wander the neighborhood off leash. It once tried to attack a jogger. We have complained but the dog still comes over to our yard and defecates.
