How many pet's do you have?

No our Caique can't talk, I'm not sure if they have that ability. If they do, he shows no interest in it lol. He is also not a rescue, we got him from PetSmart (he's actually my sisters bird). I'm weird and consider my Betta a rescue because when i get new Betta's (the only kind of fish I ever own) I always get the less/none colorful ones, because I assume everyone else will be wanting the bright colored ones. The love birds case is very difficult...we would hold her when we first got her, but she always bit, so gradually we stopped holding her. We just discussed trying again to get her to stop biting while we hold her, so we'll see how it works out. I think as long as you have a social life, you won't turn into a crazy animal lady. The crazy animal people are the ones who lock themselves in their houses and don't keep a clean living environment for themselves and their animals. I'm actually going to school so I can start an animal sanctuary, so hopefully one day I'll have TONS of babies lol (of course, coming and going because I'll adopt animals out).

I remember at one point, I was decided it would be a great idea to breed guinea pigs. Boy, was I wrong. I ended up with a room full. I ended up giving them for free because I could not clean 10 cages on my own and keep up with it all. My fiancee is a nurse, so I don't get much help, even though she owns half the animals. Haha.

Aww, that's so cute. Most of our pets are rescues as well. All of the dogs are, and the guinea pig. Zazu our parrot was purchased from a breeder though. Does your Caique talk? Our Zazu who is only going on 1 year old can already say a few things. Is your Caique tame? How about your love bird? I have always wanted one, but I am too afraid to turn into the crazy animal lady. (Let's face it, I'm almost there already) Is the lovebird hand tamed?

Oh, fan tailed pigeons. How are those as pets? I've never discussed that with anyone before. Are they more something to look at, or can you interact with them?

They look like a regular pigeon but the tail is in the shape of a semi circular fan.They have to be let out everyday as their diet includes seeds with a bit of mud in the open.Their tail hinders their flight and they can fly only up to 8-10 feet.You can interact with them in the sense that they are tame and can be trained to come out of their cage take fresh air and return back to their cages on our saying so.They do not mind if we catch them and and perch comfortably on our hand and shoulder.I guess they can be trained for more but i haven't tried as yet.

Thanks for the insight. I believe I have seen some at an animal auction I attended out of town. They looked pretty. But yes I would imagine that their tail feathers would hinder their flight.

Butterfly dog? Is this a new breed? And that's great that you have a tortoise! How does he make for a pet?
