The heart flutters at the sight of wildlife, especially when they take a moment from their secret lives to grace us with their presence. Deer, for instance, have a penchant for trees and bushes, often found munching on the leaves of perennial trees, shrubs like juniper, hawthorn, spicebush, and fruit trees, and flowers such as sunflowers, geraniums, and asters. If you have a garden, you might have unwittingly hosted a deer or two. Kim and Stan, a couple living in a neighborhood frequently visited by white-tailed deer, found themselves in a delightful interaction that has captured hearts worldwide.
Their neighborhood, a sanctuary for these friendly creatures, allowed Kim and Stan to grow accustomed to seeing them wandering around and even feasting on their plants. Kim, charmed by their grace, loves talking to them, while Stan, more practical, chases them away. Their doorbell camera, equipped with a two-way talk feature, became an unlikely communication device between them and their deer visitors. One such interaction, so adorable that it garnered almost half a million views, showcases the magic that unfolds when humans converse with nature.
As the video begins, a deer is seen smelling and munching the bushes, burying its face among the leaves in pure delight. Kim, notified of the visitor, decides to have a chat. “Hey! What are you doing?” she asks in a friendly tone. Surprised, the deer looks around for the source of the voice, eventually focusing on the camera. As its ears move, one can tell it is listening intently. “Are you eating my bushes?” Kim inquires. The deer, appearing guilty, freezes, but Kim reassures it, saying, “it’s okay.” However, Stan chimes in, “Don’t eat my trees.” Kim gently corrects him, “Don’t eat the trees; only those bushes.”
Although permitted to continue its feast, the deer, perhaps too embarrassed from being caught in the act, walks away, glancing back at the camera as if to say goodbye. This simple yet wholesome interaction drew admiration from viewers, who found solace in Kim’s sweet and friendly demeanor and the deer’s gentle response.
This light-hearted interaction serves as a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us and the joy that can be found in the simple, everyday moments. By opening our hearts and our homes to the natural world, we can foster a sense of connection and understanding that enriches not only our lives but the lives of the creatures we share this earth with. So, the next time a deer visits your garden, why not take a leaf out of Kim’s book and strike up a conversation? You never know, it might just make your day.
Share because your action will give animals a voice.
