We built a pond in our back yard maybe 15 yrs ago, but, we live in the city and we have dogs. So we don't see deer or badgers. But the birds and squirrels just flock to our back yard. It's the best thing we ever did. But it is work and I don't know how many years I have left in me. I need a young person to teach how to care for it, then I can pay them.
