A friend of mine was raising turkeys (fairly free range) in Barton – two adults and twelve chicks.  A fox had turkey sandwiches for a couple of weeks!!

I have had a fox kill my chooks on two separate occasions.  There are foxes all over Canberra.

When I was walking along Wisdom Street as it meets Yamba Drive I heard noisy alarm calls made by Australian Magpies, Magpie-Lark and Noisy miners.  Then I saw a fox in front of no. 52 house and it ran along front gardens of neighbouring houses.  It was 12.15, broad daylight.  My dog, which is afraid of other dogs, tried to chase it and it was definitely a fox.  

 Are they that common in Canberra?
