The above photo was one of a set of 4. The guy apparently travels the world taking photos & then came back to his home in Alberta , Canada to find this going on in his own back yard. These were awarding winning. I can't resist, here are the other 3, to cheer us up in the dreary winter.

Wow thanks for showing us the photos - what an amazing thing to see & to be at the right place, at the right time! Very lucky for some! It's lke something out of Bambi - a deer & a rabbit best friends!
Thanks for the identification Kingfisher. The rabbit photos are by , I think its a man called Tanja Askani but unfortunately there is no name on the last one. Do you think that the presence of a washing up bowl is a bit of a tell-tale? I think they may have been fedding them but hey the pic is good nonetheless.
I would not be surprised if they'd been getting fed, but it is a dangerous practice! Those particular deer can get quite large, and they have been known to kill people. The males (bucks) can weigh up to 100 kilograms or more. They've got sharp hooves, too.
And there is a bucket on the floor aswell, so maybee the owner was feeding them by uting the food in that.
I really don't know, but yes, it is very dangerous to feed those large animals.
