-Have you ever had a memorable encounter with wildlife in your garden?-
There is something interesting when we talk about wildlife in the garden. I think this is one of the memorable things in my garden when talking about wildlife. It is really far from wildlife because I live in a city that is very far from forests or even trees. The possibility of finding wildlife in my garden is something that is very unlikely to happen.
But in reality it happened 6 months before this article was released. I found a turtle that was still alive after I found it under a mango tree. That afternoon when I had just watered some plants, I found something that looked like a stone, quite large but suddenly the stone seemed to be walking very slowly.
I thought I was just imagining it, because not a single stone was walking. But I approached and chased the turtle who was looking for something in my garden. I thought he was looking for shelter in the middle of the city like this.
To be exact, he was looking for food and got lost and didn't know the way home. But, how could a turtle get loose in the middle of the city? Is this my neighbor's turtle? It could happen but I asked everyone in my neighborhood. They said they never had or cared for a turtle.
Of course, I fed and cared for the turtle in a box because I didn't have a good place for a turtle to live. I fed him vegetables and some insects if I found them in my garden. The rest of the vegetables when they have been harvested, then I will give it to the turtle. It seems that he is also big enough and chooses to live here.
The interesting reason why I am caring for him now, if I let him go, he might get lost and could die. So, I just take care of him even though I don't know for sure how to take care of a turtle properly. However, this turtle is something interesting to talk about considering that when compared to other houses around this neighborhood, my house has the most plants and trees, almost like a garden in the city center. So, isn’t that the most likely thing for wildlife to come to my garden?
What kind of turtle do you think this is and what kind of food does it like? Let me know.
Call me Isdarmady, sometimes Mady, Putra or anything you want. I have a pretty long name but call me very nicely. There are many things I like, especially hydroponics and coffee, sometimes I also like traveling and eating whatever I want. Life should be like that, there must be many things you like so you can live well. Of course, what you want is a dream, so, when you have a dream then what you have to do is to achieve that dream, don't just let it be a dream.

STOPThis. Turtle is lovely. Though i have not seen one in a dark shell before. Do you rear it?
I don't know what kind of turtle this is either. I just found it in the garden 😄

Aw this is great! My nana used to have turtles in her garden. She painted their shells so they didn't stand on them. We have a local turtle population too but haven't seen one since last year.
