The Wild Animal Families

Besides the animals that live on your farm, there are a lot of wild animals living in each of the three towns. These wild animals cannot become pets on your farm, but you can raise your friendship with them to see Furmiliar events and receive a gift item as a "thank you" for your kindness.

You will feed the wild animals to raise your friendship with them. Each animal family has different foods they like. You can roughly determine your friendship with them by interacting with the animal:

To feed a wild animal, hold a piece of food in your hands and either stand on top of the wild animal and press the A Button to drop it onto the ground, or stand farther away and toss the food onto the ground so that it lands close to the wild animal. Throwing food onto the ground is not considered the series-standard "littering" that would negatively impact friendship. Sometimes trying to give food can be a bit tricky, but if you keep at it eventually you'll get the wild animals to eat your food offerings.

Interacting with a wild animal will also earn you friendship. For the smaller animals, picking them up will earn +5 FP, and for the larger animals patting them on the head will earn you +10 FP.

You can feed and interact with each of the wild animals of a family to earn multiple points per day. For example, there are two wild brown weasels in the Crossroads and four wild brown weasels in South Westown. Feeding all six of those weasels each day will quickly raise the friendship point value for the brown weasel family.

You can reduce your friendship with the wild animals if you hit them with your farm tools or throw something into the water (which is actual "littering"), but if you never do those things then the wild animals' friendship levels will remain as they are. You can ignore wild animals and their friendship levels won't drop.

Once your friendship with an animal family becomes 800 or higher, exiting your farm house may randomly trigger a gifting event. You'll find an item on the ground and discover that it was gifted to you from the wild animals. This is a one-time event, and the items you can receive from the wild animals aren't anything super special; basically you'll get colored pearls and mine gems.

There is also an in-game trophy to raise your friendship to maximum (1000 FP) with all of the wild animals, but like all the other in-game trophies you don't receive a special reward or unlock anything unique for completing the achievement.

Wild animals won't appear in the Crossroads, Westown, or Tsuyukusa if it is rainy or snowy outside; the wild animals in Lulukoko don't mind the weather. No wild animals will be available during a typhoon or snowstorm. Some wild animal families only become available when you raise your friendship with a similar wild animal.
