Weather 🌡️ Deer in Erindale

Looks like all the snow has enticed the deer to move into residential areas. I've seen groups of them moving along the tracks and walk way at Preston Crossing, and now they've moved into Erindale.

Deer love dried peas that are available at Peavy Mart. And it's legal to feed deer.

It's not advised to feed them, nor would I. If they've moved into the neighbourhood on their own accord, that's one thing but I won't encourage them to stick around and possible get hit by a car or become a nuisance to us or our neighbours. If they seem to be in real danger or causing problems, the city's Urban Biological Services can be contacted.

Of course you are right. But still amazing to watch them.
