I agree with you, but, unfortunately, there are those who would probably
regard your complement of animals as 'invasive aliens' (unless your
partridge was a grey one, which is recognised as native) to be
exterminated
if possible.
Goodness! I love them in the garden and I have been known to stop my
car in the middle of the road to let hedghogs, baby ducklings and
squirrels cross the road (and frogs) all this despite being honked at by
other motorists. I had to get out of my car, in the middle of the road,
and kneel on the ground to shoo off little ducklings who ran underneath.
I did an emergency stop so that I wouldn't kill any and mother duck was
very happy with me - she quacked as they all went off safely, I wish my
fellow motorists did likewise.


Good for you :-)
