PITTSBURGH (KDKA) A rare and beautiful albino deer was spotted in Allegheny County.
KDKA Viewer Dennis Beech shared photos and a video of an albino deer in his Ohio Township yard. The deer could be seen hanging out near the birdfeeder. Experts say the odds of an albino deer being born are about one in 20,000, while others say the odds are closer to 30,000.
Other albino deer sightings have happened in the Pittsburgh area before, including a baby albino deer spotted in McCandless Township in September.

On edit: squirrel feeders, not bird feeders.

(35,657 posts)Some people put a salt lick in their yard to attract deer, but of course it would be illegal for deer hunters to do that. Since deer hunting is illegal is most areas of Allegheny County, some people do try to attract the deer into their yards. Me, I'd rather keep them away because they eat my bushes and my day lilies. Also my dog goes nuts when he sees deer anywhere in the neighborhood.

but I only intentionally put out seeds for birds.

Could some nature preserve give it refuge, please? (Pleading)
