Eco Tours

This past week we got the chance to hand feed deer!  If fact since the one in the picture looks like Bambi, kids will never know the difference.  At the World War One Park in North Attleboro MA they have a petting farm area and in one of the large areas they have deer.  For years we went to this park without ever knowing that some of the deer will come up and eat out of your hand.

On this trip we hand feed a couple of older deer until “Bambi” came over and pushed her way toward our food.  The older deer would gently take the corn from our hands while Bambi tried to swallow the food, our hands and arms all at once.  Granted deer don’t have full sets of teeth, but the though of my hand inside of the deer was a little disturbing.  Overall hand feeding the deer was a blast and for 50 cents worth of dried corn, it was a fun way to spend 30 minutes or so.

This area of the petting farm has all sorts of farm animals but generally we will go to Winslow’s Farm in Norton MA where there are no fences to keep you away from the animals.

The park in these pictures is located only 50 yards away from Julia’s Garden and Play Area, be sure to check it out if you are in the North Attleboro area.
