[Thi]s box is the furring pen feed box, we have three in each pen then troughs etc and a feed house in one (as an experiment.) These boxes keep seagulls out and in fly time we darken the holes with canvas. I had a cap on in this picture but I look furry. I can go sit in [bull?] pen and mink will climb all over me clear on my head. I give lots of them a bite of one piece of meat or fish, holding it while they each taste. They don’t snap at all.
