Wonderful News, Congratulations Dickybird!

also thanks to picidae, marcia, elevate and everyone for your interest and comments. To let you know the end of our story: One day the cub was run after and pushed out of the next door garden, but he managed his way to ours and kept coming for a while during the evenings, until one day he pooed and we asked him to go out, thinking he would learn to do it outside, but sadly we have not seen him since. He took it personally! We are left with the great feeling the experience has left anyway, he used to come even into our living room, smell around with such alertness, manners, and tender eyes that all it took was snapping fingers to get him to the kitchen where he would sit, all curled up to have his nap before leaving. So we believe he knows his way around. Keep looking to the horizon though, wondering if he would visit us again…
He used to eat bread, veggies, loved nuts (but we had to get them out of shells for him), his favourites were meat, tuna and chicken’ skin. Will be leaving marmaite and trying all sorts of suggestions you all have left here and there, but with the attitude around attracting him could expose them to harm; so actually will have to think about it

That’s all from us, many thanks again, it is wonderful to see we got to the forum for such a special time and are delighted your efforts with Vixen have paid off. It uplifts our spirits everytime we read about her progress!
