#african grey parrots adoption

[fuckyeahpunkflower]

Guys guys guys its AU time! With older Miles(18) and older Hobie (20). (Also no spider man powers, normal times)

Miles is attending a prestigious University in Northern New York after years of studying and applying for scholarships at Visions. Rio and Jefferson are super proud of him although a bit sadden that their baby boy is now a young man leaving the house.

On the plus side, Miles is SUPER stoke to finally FINALLY have his very own dorm ALL TO HIMSELF! no more cramped spaces, uncomfortable bunk beds or missing shoes (that somehow always made an appearance again when Ganke returned to the room) Miles admits he will miss Ganke but they'll definitely catch up over some games on the PS4 and summer breaks.

But the best part about this university in Mile's opinion is the fact they allow pets on campus and in dorms. Which means he can live his dream of owning a dog. He's always wanted a dog since he was a kid but his parents never thought he was responsible enough to take care of it ( but mainly because Rio and Jefferson didn't want to deal with a toddler and training a puppy at the same time) Now that Miles is grown he's decided its time to make his own decisions. And that decision was to get a dog the moment he moves into his dorm. It took him 2 weeks to get settled in with his belongings and getting familiar with his classes around campus but after that he was heading towards the nearest pet shelter he could find.

And here we enter Hobie Brown! He works at the local pet shelter which houses all sorts of abandoned and neglected pets. From your typical cats and dogs to reptiles, birds, and even fishes, Hobie is there to take care of them all! And on the weekends he playing with his band mates.

Anyway Cue Miles entering the pet shelter and he's immediately greeted with the site of Hobie. They make brief eye contact and Miles freezes in place lost in thought *Damn, I was not expecting to see someone so fucking cool and hot today oh my gosh get it together you're here for a dog you're here for a dog you're here for a-*

"You know usually people tend to rush straight to the pups and ignore me but with the way your staring at me right now I can't say I'm complaining. your face is the same shade as the pups little red rockets back there" Hobie snickers

"Bro WHAT!?" Miles yelled in utter shock. He was NOT prepared for any amount of what was said to him in that moment. "What- I mean- like man- that was the wildest response I've ever-" He stops rambling to gain his composure back. "Look man, I came in here hoping to adopt a dog, can you help me or what?"

Hobie looks at Miles with amusement in his eyes "Sure thing love, straight to the back we go!"

And that was Hobies and Miles first interaction at the pet shelter.

Back to the p o i n t!!!

This is basically a college Miles and pet shop worker Hobie (except its a shelter) AU merged into one. Basically Miles visits the shelter every week looking for a dog to adopt and Hobie shows him around. With each visit Miles begins to learn more about Hobie and his relationship with the animals at the shelter. Like how Hobie absolutely adores this grey African parrot that was left in the cage on the street. Its feathers are sparse and sheds but it loves to mimic Hobies Cockney accent.

Eventually Miles adopts a cute senior black Labrador named Orca due to the white and gray furs around her eyes. Even after getting his dog he still visits the shelter between classes to talk to Hobie.

So like yeah in order to keep this short before I literally write the first fucking chapter of this AU on here.

Miles is in college and develops feelings for Hobie while he helps him adopt a dog. They hang out sometime later and Eventually BOOM they're boyfriends :D

[lordvonbunnyv]

In my modern httyd AU, I interpret Dagur to be a former steroid and meth addict. After deciding to get clean and spending time hitchhiking across the country and camping out, and helping Hiccup and Toothless after a paragliding crash, he decided that he was going to change for the better. So he took up a volunteering opportunity at the rider’s animal sanctuary. Of course he was first given a hamster (shattermaster) to teach him the basics of animal handling, later he adopted a three legged pit bull that was rescued from a dog fighting ring.

He’s not allowed to handle the more dangerous animals yet, but working with animals has been very therapeutic for him and kept him clean, and be able to reconnect with Heather and wind shear (who I interpret as an African grey parrot). He still has starter master who surprisingly formed a bond with sleuther. Like they will sleep together and groom each other and hiccup will often receive pics of sleuther snuggled up on the floor with shatter master sleeping on his paws.

comfort fic for spencer reid x badass!reader watching one of those ASPCA-like commercials and spencer looks over and reader is BAWLING and he is so confused and yet wants to comfort r. maybe he promises to take her to the shelter the next day or something 👀? thank you <3

2 + 1 = 4?

AN: I’m sorry if this feels rushed. Also yes I know theoretically it’s virtually impossible for it to be the same cat but work with me here please I tried to make the timeline work since this is S1- S2 Spencer

Spencer was in awe of the sight before him here she was crying her eyes out, one would think something terrible and life threatening had happened but no, it was a commercial. Here she was, the person who Spencer had seen just a night earlier take down an unsub all by herself , crying her eyes out because the local shelter would be closing.

“Sunshine? Sunshine someone will adopt them it’s going to be ok” he said in a low whisper trying to calm her down

“But—but what if they don’t? What’s going to happen to them Spence? Will they be homeless—or worse?” She replied in between sobs.

“Ok what if instead of sleeping in tomorrow we wake up early and I’ll take you to the shelter. We can adopt one together—we we have been talking about expanding our little family after all” he said blushing to which looming up at him with excitement in her eyes she responded “now let’s go right now”

Spencer was amused at her child-like excitement “sunshine we can’t it’s 3:30 am” he said giggling.

•

She was the first to wake up, making sure to be ready by the time a half-asleep Spencer finished his coffee.

The ride to the shelter consisted of an excited Y/N screaming Taylor Swift and an wonderstruck Spencer taking in the view from the passenger side.

“I think we should get a puppy” she said, “a big fluffy one with a brown patch in his eye”

“That’s specific” Spencer muttered, and continued looking at our the widow, “ I was thinking more in the likes of a caramel colored bunny”

“But babe,” she replied, “bunny would be too much to take care of”

“And a puppy won’t?” He said chuckling.

They spent the whole 45 min drive talking about what animal they would adopt.

Once inside the shelter they passed a an African Grey parrot called Buckley, he used to belong to an elderly couple and would scream “spank me!” Every time someone passed. Spencer couldn’t help but be startled at the parrot shaking his head immediately.

As they approached the dog kennels Spencer could tell she was begins to feel discouraged not finding a pet that she felt connected to. It all changed when they stopped at the last kennel she saw a white and light grey fur Ragdoll cat. “Can we please see this one?” She asked the shelter volunteer.

They were both amazed at how the cat, whose name they learned was Dusty, walked right up to them and began asking for head and tummy scratches. “What’s her story?” Spencer looked up towards the volunteer. Who answer in a whisper, almost as if he didn’t want Dusty to hear and be reminded of it, “Dusty was abandoned two blocks away from here, she hadn’t eaten anything in a while it seemed like due to how skinny she was. But she never lost her friendly personality”

Spencer looked from the volunteer towards y/n and knew just by the look in her eyes that Dusty would be coming home with them. “Spence, babe I want her. Let’s take her home with us.”

“How soon can we take her?” Spencer asked the volunteer who scratched the back of his neck nervously, “well you see I don’t think you’ll want her..maybe how about…” but as he was looking for another cat to show them Spencer asked, “why not her”

“Well she got attached to another cat we have here at the shelter, a Chartreux, we wouldn’t want them separated but we also won’t pressure you to take both since the Chartreux, has been through a rough time. He is actually nameless at the moment which is sad because he’s a senior cat but his previous owner was brutal so much so he is blind in one eye.”

“Can we see him?” Spencer asked.

“Sure, he’s being checked by the shelter’s vet as we speak follow me”

The minute they saw the second cat from the window Spencer and Y/N knew that he would be going home with them and without looking at Y/N for confirmation he spoke loudly, “we’ll take them. Both of them.”

“Let me go tell the vet then”

As they were waiting Spencer couldn’t help but feel drawn to the Chartreux cat he hadn’t taken his eyes off

“You ok Spence? You seem spaced out babe.”

“He reminds me of Reginald”

“Who?”

A spaced out Spencer replied in a sad and nostalgic manner “He was my mom’s cat. She had him since he was a kitten, I was 8-9. I would call him Reggie, he was exactly like this cat but he wasn’t blind in one eye. I used to take care of him when my mom was first institutionalized. During my first year of college my roommate left the door open and Reginald left, he never came back.”

“Spence?” She asked, “was Reggie microchipped?”

“I don’t know”

“Excuse me?” Y/N said knocking on the window that overlooked the vets clinic station

“Yes?”

“Is either cat microchipped? We just don’t want any trouble if they are”

“Dusty isn’t but Im not sure about this one he’s been here since before I was working at this shelter, let me see” the vet replied.

“I’m sorry it looks like this cat is microchipped it belongs to a Diana Reid from Las V…”

“Las Vegas, Nevada address 42 Wallaby Way Apt 13B—she’s my mom. OMG Reggie is alive” Spencer interrupted. “I lost him my freshman year of college and he’s here in DC. How? Oh Reggie!”

The drive home consisted of Spencer telling Reginald everything he had lived through and for a split second she could see specks of child-like happiness in Spencer and with a job like theirs, that was the same as if she had won the lottery.

That night their bed felt smaller with two cats sound asleep by the end of the bed, using their feet as pillows but for the first time in the year they’d been together Spencer’s cold feet pressed on top of hers weren’t and issue.

[nova--spark]

So. Mortal Machines Ex-Cons. Could always explain their existence as an additional punishment for the too well adapted Team Prime.

Knockout is gonna freeaaaaaaaaaaak. When all the biology explanations are done, he will likely demand a mall trip. And try getting drunk. He also gives me the air of a nervous driver for some reason? Like, we all know he was vain as all get out. So maybe that transfers into an extreme fear of being hurt, because humans can scar, and it does NOT buff out. Add to that the fact that he is well versed in the darker aspects of driving and yeah. Paranoid KO.

Starscream would be a funny outlier to add to this as well. Like, dudes casually in a coma then POP he's in Unit Es base, with the other cons, and wide awake. How would flight-withdrawal affect him I wonder.

Shockwave would immediately be trying things out with his new form. Once done, he would throw himself into fixing the Squishy Plague.

Soundwave has a pet birb. African Grey Parrot maybe? It's Laserbeak. He's his usual quiet kid self. Maybe Bee teaches him sign? Human sign ofc. He totally knows CSL already.

Megs is just broken. And broken Megs is vulnerable Megs. He defiantly has ADHD tho. Idk why. I just always HC he does.

oK i LOVE all of this???

Knockout is absolutely uneasy, he knows very well humans are fragile [Silas was a fun little test of how fragile] and so, he is indeed a bit of a nervous driver, because while he could buff out a scratch as a bot, he can't replace anything in a human body as easily. And he absolutely made sure everyone has an impeccable wardrobe, i feel sorry for whomever is paying for it though--

Starscream is just wondering if this is just some horrendous nightmare most of the time, and he really just wants everything done with.

Shockwave surprisingly ??? Creates a bunch of cures??? For human illnesses that tend to frustrate people, and he simply shrugs when asked how he did it. Cybertronian science apparently made the cure for the common cold easy.

Who'd have known?

Soundwave is indeed now with an entire menagerie of pets, because he now has adopted 2-3 birds, 2 cats, a lizard, and somehow, a bat. In his defense, he didn't know bats weren't normal human pets, but the little one was doing no harm, being a fruit bat.

He has also kindly taken to the ASL lessons, but has also received a phone from Raf, which he uses a Text to Speech app on. Alternatively, he's resorted to using social media audios to express certain emotions.

The kids cannot stop laughing.

Megatron had...some issues adjusting, his fighting instincts indeed manifesting into what humans would call ADHD, for which he has taken to mild sparring, if only to calm his nerves.

Optimus has offered him to perhaps spend some time, and talk. After all, for them all, it has been a very overwhelming experience.

[bucketspammer4life]

Punch out boxers and what pet(s) they would have

hey bestie, exam season is almost over so im recovering a bit so why not give this to you all??

Glass Joe - small, fluffy and cute white cat that is the spawn of satan, knocking shit over, eating your food, wrecking the couch, massacring the toilet paper, all while looking adorable, named "Bouffon", sometimes called bonbon because of it

Von Kaiser - a doberman thats scary as shit but a complete angel, very loud barks when scared but very cute otherwise, named "Turm"

Disco Kid - an african grey parrot that never shuts up, really cool but still the spawn of hell to a certain point, always singing or quoting stuff,named "Angel"

King Hippo - a capybara & a turtle, he lets the capybara on his bed and the turtle has its own pond, both of them are pretty chill and the most evil they do is just bumping into doors, the capybara is named "coco" since Hippo made a hat for it using a coconut shell, the turtle is named "Reef" since he ran out of ideas

Piston Hondo - some koi fish & a praying mantis, he has a pond for his fish and decorates it, meditating there when the weathers right, the praying mantis has its own terrarium and doesnt let it out unless he has to change up something since hes paranoid about crushing it, the koi fish dont have names but the praying mantis is named "リーフ" (Leaf) since he found it fighting some bug on a leaf

Bear Hugger - besides the squirrel (we dont count mrs bear since shes more of a friend and it would be rude to call her a pet)he has a pet snail and a rabbit, the snail is one of his first pets and he got it when he first started his boxing career and found it in the showers after a match, its named "squeaky" because of that, he actually found the rabbit not too long ago after feeding it some dandelions, it just came over to his house on a daily basis after a while and he accepted it, the rabbits named "Dandy" since bear hugger saw it eating a dandelion and ran with it

Great Tiger - has a pet snake & a gecko, the snake has a pattern somewhat reminiscent of a tiger with its Orange & Black stripes, despite its fierce appearance, its pretty shy and hides a lot, the gecko is the opposite of that: it may look not very intimidating but its a menace, the snake is named "tiger" (how creative) and the gecko is named "Woob", aran came up with the name after taking a glare at it and just saying "woob."

Don Flamenco - other than the spider that carmen owns, he has a pet goldfish named "Fish" that he he just feeds and fucks off, he has 0 emotional attachment to it, he could see it dead and he would go "damn sucks to suck" And move on, hes not the one for pets

Aran Ryan - a mountain lion he thought was just a really big cat, he gave it a bath, fed it some meat and just adopted it, it doesnt really mind but its like... really confused, aran named it "princess", the way he found out was him inviting bear hugger over and seeing him go "IS THAT A FUCKING MOUNTAİN LION" the moment princess walked out of the bathroom after eating the toilet paper again

Soda Popinski - a husky thats absolutely running from place to place 99% of the time, its sometimes a bit mishievious but pretty well behaved, its named "soda" since thats pretty much his idea of a cute name

Bald Bull - a lazy fat ass street cat that sleeps most of the time or just eats food, its mishievious but not enough to bother moving, its suprisingly good at opening cabinets and eating to its own hearts content, he really has no way to stop it, named "Tombili"

Super Macho Man - a shi tzu named "puffy" that likes to nibble on wood, its very fluffy since he takes great care to brush it

Mr Sandman - Not the type own a pet since hes indecisive about it, had a few pet goldfish before but thats about it for him

[yourlocalmeta1head]

Types of pets AOT characters would have

Characters: Erwin, Hange, Miche, Levi, Moblit, Eren, Armin, Mikasa, Connie, Sasha, Jean, Reiner, Bertholt, Yumir, Historia (Christa), Petra, Oluo, Gunther, Eld, Nifa, Abel, Keiji, Tomas, Nannaba, Gelger, Henning, Lynne

Erwin: He'd have a male Chinook dog named Soldier. They're hardworking, which he appreciates, but they're also loyal and family devoted, so that means that they're good with kids. He takes the best care of his dog ever.

Hange: Definitely has a male Leachie Gecko. And a big one. Takes the best care of it and has somehow lived for like 20 years and is still thriving. They named it Bennidect Bartholemu Cambel.

Levi: Hange won him a goldfish at the fair, and they named her Goldie. She's lived for 5 years and is in amazing health. Levi's actually grown to love Goldie a lot, which Hange kind of expected, but Miche and Erwin totally thought he'd give it back to Hange after like a week.

Miche: Has a huge male gray Bouvier des Flandres with longish hair and "bangs" that cover his eyes a bit. He probably named him Sherlock because he has "big locks of hair". Had to have his tail docked months before Miche adopted him, his tail got stepped on and crushed by a cow.

Moblit: Doesn't have a pet cause "Dealing with Hange takes the same amount of work" but he also helps with Hanges lizard because it's high maintenance.

Eren: He has a female African Grey Parrot that he named "Freiheit" which is German for "freedom." He talks to his parrot like it's a therapist. He also gets upset when someone says his Parrot's a girl, and he'll argue back with something like "no, actually he's a guy" even though the parrots a girl.

Armin: He has a male Eastern Box Turtle. He named him Squirt because when he adopted him, the first thing Squirt did was spit water at his face, so Armin thought it'd be appropriate to name him Squirt.

Mikasa: Female Maine Coon named Kiku. Her mother told her that the Kiku flower was her favorite flower and that it's believed the flower can prolong peoples lives.

Connie: Male Hyacinth Macaw he named Destroyer since he thought he (THE BIRD) would be able to destroy anything in its path (A BIRD). He trained his bird to attack anyone he points at while screeching "CA CAW!"

Sasha: Male squirrel she named Squirrelly. She didn't buy him from anywhere. She was literally sitting at the park and a squirrel came up to her and sat with her then followed her, and so she took him home and named him Squirrelly. That was 4 years ago.

Jean: Male Collie named Zeus. He thought Zeus would be a cool awesome name for a dog. He also trained him to chase Eren on his command.

Reiner: Female Boxer he named Rocky. He also specifically tried to find one with unpinned ears and an undocked tail. He takes her on hikes all the time, and she loves them so much.

Bertholt: Male Ferret named Mozuku. He loved to eat Mozuku as a kid, so he named his Ferret after it. Sometimes really late at night he has a dance party with his Ferret, and he definitely has spent hours to teach his Ferret one trick.

Yumir: Female Tarantula named Fang. She loves to scare Reiner with her. Yumir also takes such good care of Fang you'd almost think she loves her more than Historia. It's to the point where if she's at home, she'll take Fang out of her enclosure and just have her on her shoulder while she does stuff like chores or watch TV.

Historia: Female Beagle named Poppy. She dresses her up, and they watch TV together all the time. Sometimes they have "hype moments" where Historia hypes up Poppy by saying stuff like "LETS GO, WE CAN DO IT!!!" and they do it for like 10 min. Poppy is also those dogs that know every trick in the book. Historia has even taught her how to backflip and do hand stands. Poppy can also do a handstand and walk in a handstand.

Petra: Female Norwegin Forest Cat named Camellia. Petra's the type of person who walks her cat, but she loves it. Gives her cat super good food. Literally the happiest cat you will ever meet. Also the sweetest cat ever. Super playful and soooo soft.

Oluo: Male Irish Wolfhound named Captain. Loud as hell. Literally the most talkative dog you will ever meet. Super sweet dog, just very talkative. Also, if you put a bowl of food out in front of him he'll eat like Oluo has been starving him for months. Genital giant. His dog is a literal giant, is not even funny.

(man standing next to dog for size reference on how tall this damn dog is)

Gunther: Female Albino Ferret named Xiomara. When he was looking at ferrets, the people working there told him how Xiomara was turned down for adoption so many times the owner wanted to claim her as "unadoptable", and he was confused when he heard the reason was because of how she looked. But he thought the contrast of her red eyes to her white fur looked super cool, so he adopted her and named her Xiomara, and she's been his best friend ever since. He takes her everywhere is loves her so much, it's adorable.

Eld: Female Duck Tolling Retriever named Penelope. She has total attachment issues. They're basically attached to each other. Eld is going to the bathroom? So is his dog. She also does so many tricks and is so polite. And she attends doggy daycare, and lets just say she may be the teacher's favorite.

Nifa: Female hamster named Sunny. She's a total troublemaker. The food she's eating? Stole it right off Nifas plate. She eats clothes if you don't pay attention to her, she's escaped her cage, she almost drowned herself because Nifa fed her 2 minutes late. If your finger gets too close to her mouth, she will bite you.

Abel: Male Brussels Griffin named Scrappy. Will eat ANYTHING. You left the toothpaste out? That's Scrappys toothpaste now. You forgot your shoes? NVM those are Scrappys shoes. Also wears dog shoes every time he goes out.

Keiji: Female Pointer named Coco. She is the sweetest dog ever. Super gentle, doesn't bite, doesn't scratch, not aggressive, while all the other dogs are outside play fighting Coco's right next to Keiji. Whether it's her laying on the floor, her laying next to him, or her laying on top of him, most of the time Coco is with Keiji. Sometimes he even puts her outside to play with the other dogs because he's so attached to him.

Tomas: Female Texas Heeler named Luna. She's also a super sweet dog. She's also very, very energetic. If you get up even for one second, she'll get so excited. Luna's one of those dogs that will not stop spinning in circles. And every time you see her, she's panting as if she just ran the longest dog marathon ever. If you ask Tomas what she's like when they get home, it's normally the same story how she just is so exhausted she can't do anything.

Nannaba: Female Ferret named Phoebe. Very very energetic and loves to do tricks. She will climb everything. Walls? Climb. Fence? Climb. Furniture? Clime. YOU? CLIMB. Loves cuddling so much, she gets pissed if you get up while she's asleep. Also eats hair. She even eats Nannabas hair, and she has pretty short hair. One time in the winter Miche was growing out a beard for a dare and Phoebe started eating it while he was staying the night at Nannabas.

Gelger: Male rat named Rocket. Rocket is the craziest laziest rat ever. Sometimes Gelger has to hand feed Rocket his food cause he's too tired to get up, then 5 min later he's running around all over the place and sliding everywhere. He also poops soooo much. Gelger even took him to the vet once because he got nervous that something was wrong with Rocket because of how often and how much he would poop. Turns out he just poops a lot. When they go to other peoples houses Gelger has to put Rocket in a diper because hes worried about him pooping everywhere.

Henning: Male Cane Corso named Butch. When he adopted Butch he wanted a Cane Corso that still had it's tail and who didn't have cropped ears. Butch is so scary when you first meet him, but then he becomes the most lovable dog ever. He gives the sloberist kisses and is always drooling, but that's ok. Super strong. He's knocked over the whole barbecue grill before.

Lynne: Female Rabbit named Daisy. The sweetest bunny you will ever meet omg. She never gets in the way of anything and is even potty trained. She always shows off her tricks and is very proud of it. One time she even did a back flip but got scared when everyone cheered. Very unpridectible. One time it was getting late and everyone realized they haven't seen Daisy for a while so everyone was freaking out and when they checked outside Daise was sitting on top of an Opossum.

🍓🍓🍓

Thank you!!! I'll answer for Jimmy since I've been thinking about him a lot lately <3

The wool vest he wears under his jacket was knitted by his mother as a gift

He could phase through walls if he chose to, but usually doesn't - it breaks the illusion of him as a regular living man

He taught himself to read a bit of Latin, though he can't speak it

As much as he loves birds, he'd never keep one as a pet since he feels like he wouldn't have the resources to properly care for it. After HIYH, however, he and Lars do adopt a ferret named Beetle

During his life, he did a lot of work with the zoo's ambassador birds, since he both was good with the animals and friendly with the guests

^ by that same token, he has a lot of small scars on his hands and arms from handling birds - he had a falconry glove and used it regularly, but sometimes had to handle birds without it when there was a kerfuffle

One of those ambassador animals was an African grey parrot (the same parrot that took a chunk out of his forearm and left a scar), and he taught it to sing Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Sometimes he'll ask Lars to talk about his work for a while when it's quiet - he doesn't understand most of it, but loves to hear him talk

^ And in the same way, Lars will ask Jimmy to talk about the book he's reading, or facts about his favorite birds, when he just wants to hear his voice for a while

I’m not sure if this had already been asked but if the guys were willing to adopt a bird as a pet with MC, what kind of bird would they prefer? And how would they react around the birb? 👀

Alexei - African Grey Parrot. He'd take excellent care of it, and would spend a lot of time teaching it words and such.

Brooklyn - Macaw. He would enjoy creating a habitat for it inside his mansion. I could also see him with canaries.

Leo - Budgie(s). They are bffs.

Milo - Green-cheeked conure. Takes the time to bond. A good bird dad.

Rory - Lovebirds. Remember this for the full game. He's very soft for the birbs.

Tobias - Cockatoo. Spends a lot of time with it. Would probably teach it bad words.

[angrybatart]

Just realized that I should PROBABLY add this in anything I post about my birds but...

Please please PLEASE DO NOT get a bird just because I, or other people, make it sound like it's fun to have one around. I mean...YES. My birds have been a delight, but no two birds are the same. Not all parrots talk (I've heard of African greys that never ever utter a word) and cockatoos can be an absolute nightmare if you're not prepared for the screaming fits they tend to have on a daily basis. Plus BITES HURT SO MUCH depending on the size of the bird and how much pressure they use! They can draw blood! I had a conure bite me because he LOATHED my PS4 controller. (Oh, yeah. They can bite for no logical reason at all too.)

Also they require SO MUCH MORE CARE than some pets do. (Not to say cats and dogs aren't expensive.) And some states/counties/cities don't have avian vets, which I am currently cursed with. I have to drive an hour to two hours to the nearest avian vet.

Also birds/parrots are social animals. You can't just throw one in a cage and expect it to be fine with being all alone. Barry came from a "petting farm" where the only attention he got was from screaming, rowdy children who probably poked or yelled at him in hopes of getting a response. And putting two, or more, birds in a cage together can result in them wanting absolutely nothing to do with you.

I love birds. But I don't want people getting a bird because they see me having fun with them. This seems to be turning into a possible issue in my Facebook friend circle. Thankfully no one's gotten a bird YET.) If you still want one, or plan on getting one, please do THOROUGH research and planning. And make sure you're ready for one. Including pigeons/doves (they're much more gentle, sure, but proper care is still very important), canaries, and finches.

Also adopt. Don't shop. I lost two conures to heartbreaking (QUITE LITERALLY) inbred defects.

Maybe I could have faced the person who abused me as a little kid if I had these dogs ?

I may be 32 - the first time was when I was 3…. And idk if anything will come of it- but I hope you know I’ve never been the same since you did what you did - Shawn Lockwood footballer99 from chino hills California. I was an innocent child. My cptsd is controlling my life. I’m a recovering addict clean for over six years now, and in therapy and I found a photo of you holding me - like grabbing my arms while I tried to get away from you on a family trip - I want this anger to leave so I can heal. How can it do that when I wonder if me staying quiet means people don’t know what a monster you are,…. How you sexually abuse kids and abuse the power your family had over my family . I’m autistic and I trusted you and I was able to be controlled easily. I forgive MYSELF for being in a situation where I was abused even though it’s not my fault. YOU ASSAULTED ME MULTIPLE TIMES. I was always under the age of ten since I moved state that year.

I have never forgotten. It has affected my whole life and every relationship. I hope if you’re married your wife finds out about this & I hope you don’t have little girls…. pedophiles… even at 17 you should’ve known better- & the adults knew it happened once and allowed it to happen again. Everyone should be responsible for not protecting me! I was adopted I couldn’t make a big deal and you knew that. You preyed on me and I hate you for it. I fucking hate you so much and that makes me hate myself because I’m not this kind of person. I would never hurt someone or wish ill on anyone I want people to grow and heal and learn and be better. But I don’t believe pedos can be better…. I don’t think people who hurt animals, kids, elderly, or disabled people deserve forgiveness - they deserve prison & justice from karma. They shouldn’t be allowed to hide out in isolation either - people should know why they’re there.

I remember all the times by the way. Except the one time in my bed I room- I remember thinking the house was haunted . My brain changed that night to me seeing a ghost and over the years my mind added more to the story and looking back- I see how my memory was cut out and missing pieces and the “ghost” was a man’s shadow moving pens around at my desk that walked up to my bed and I pulled the blankets over my head- when I looked out again the shadow was back by the desk… then all I remember was sleeping in my parents room and my dogs always being outside my room and theirs upstairs anytime I walked into their room bc I got scared. This is why I’m scared of what lurks in the dark. Bc I’ve never been scared of monsters- just humans like you.

You’re why I have never dated a Shawn no matter how much I liked them- I wonder if you assaulted Yvette too- that little girl from Arizona who was my age… I hope no one else got hurt because I never got a chance to take you to court. My parents should’ve fought you and your rich family. But my mom had to quit that job after YOUR mom said I was lying. I’m sure you knew that- what little kid wouldn’t go with you when you threaten to shut off my movie and tell them I was being bad…. You knew what you were doing was sick- otherwise you wouldn’t have blindfolded me. You didnt like my umbilical hernia so you had my keep my shirt on when you had me on your bed - every other time was you making me do things to you in that bathroom but that tine was different. maybe your girlfriend that lived nextdoor with the cow wasnt ready to hook up so you went with the 5-7 year old kid who was just crawling around on the couches abd piano bench pretending she was a cat in aristrocats.

we went on family out of state vacations together and my brother was around your age. didnt go to the same school bc Chino Hills is for rich people like you and the inground pool & the springer spaniels you guys kept outside and bred - only letting the pomerainian dog inside , with the african grey parrot umbrella cockatoo that you eventually got as well. You had a big saltwater tank with sharks that I remember your mom killing by putting in a bag and then putting in the fucking freezer cause you guys didn't want them anymore you guys like these statues and fountains all around your yard they looked like those Greek white marble statues obviously made of cement and you had like a gazebo. I remember always feeling like I was in some kind of movie or like a princess or playing mermaids in that pool or having to jump in the pool and get away from the big scary dog Tonka, you threatened to turn off the movie or whatever Disney movie I was watching on your giant TV .

my parents wanna think I don't remember. But I have a photographic memory and can literally play movies in my fucking head. I can watch whole episodes here whole songs. I can see places I fucking been and while I don't get to remember things like a photographic memory and just be like a smart doctor my PTSD likes to make me maladaptive daydream of things. Sometimes we spent a lot of time at house and family. I remember your stupid hobo business and the statue guy that was made out of wood. You guys used as a coat hanger. I ripped up all the pictures of my ex-boyfriend because I thought that would heal if I never had to see your face again that would duplicate someplace .

and the other night thats where I found the photos of you GRABBING ONTO My arms tried to run away.

hindsight 2020 obviously. Somebody thought that that was a cute picture when they took it some trip up in Oregon. I think we went to see a Dodgers game. I remember the park we were at and like the stairs going down to the swing and your mom or the Palm Springs house you guys had with all the creepy pictures of clowns and the pool room cement was. I know this is rambling and it's mostly me just trying to work out why I feel so triggered right now. I'm 3000 miles away from you. I haven't had to actually see you. I got to grow up and try to have a normal life I'm sure that's what my parents wanted to just pretend shit didn't happen. Brains are formed before the age of six you made sure that mine was really extra fucked up really hard to damage you caused and that is really hard to do because my autism ADHDCPTSD and my depression has made that extremely hard. Like I said I'm a recovering addict as well and I'm doing really well in that regard. Life is good. I'm happy for the most part, but I do have chemical and balances in my brain and I am on medication and therapy. I wish I could get the specialized therapy after, seeing how I need to fix the wiring in my brain. I have lived my life on high alert fighter flight mode when I was a little kid I was caught off guard so bad that my brain decided to never let it happen again and now I catastrophize and always think of the worst possible thing and I'm paranoid and I am always wondering who's out to get me or who's gonna hurt me or I'm trusting the wrong people or domestic violence relationship so whatever

while it is not My fault I'm like this, it is my responsibility to fix it.

you never had to do anything to make it up to me or try to make this right

you probably got to live your life like nothing ever fucking happened.

you had no consequences for being a sick pedophile fuck, you could have been hurting others this entire time . and idk how to live with myself if thats true. All the adult knew you sexually abused me, your family knew we couldbt afford court we were barely getting by & my mom was working for yours at that Hobo company. with della and the other computer ladies in that office thru the garage over to the right past the in home BAR 🙄

i found photos of you in your football uniform number 99 i remember that hanging in a car was that also the year you graduated? i wonder if youd be someobe who would apologize, would you try to guilt me by saying your rich family was terrible to you, or you were bullied for being fat, or your girlfriend of years didnt wanna have sex and "boys will be boys" - or my fav excuse 'i found god ive changed' line? or would you deny it? would you try to gaslight me? or threaten to sue for defamation? even though everything is true so its not defamation is it?

I dont know if there limitations on how long rape cases last before you cant go after people,… i was three, i was five, i was seven… i was in california til i was ten. i started bringing friends with me or hanging out with my mom in the office to avoid you. i wish i got a chance to face you in court i wish my parent put me into therapy. when it first happened.

some comments from my parents as i have started to talk about this.

"you cant remember that you were three/youre confused & must be thinking of a movie"

"you never told me what happened when i asked about it, so how was i supposed to know" -dad

"i sent dad to talk about what happened and you didn't tell him anything else. we made sure he(shawn) was never alone with you again after that. So obviously you must be remembering wrong"

why would a three-year-old girl want to tell a man even if it is her dad what just happened after another man sexually assaulted her. I was a fucking toddler. Everybody knows you have a female officer. Talk to a victim. After something happens. My mom should been having that conversation, but she's not having uncomfortable conversations, if I make her comfortable, she stop talking about stuff like this anytime I bring it up. She gets upset and mad and we don't talk about it anymore because I get upset and rightfully so we have to change the topic..

I love both of my parents and obviously it's not their fault What happened? The only real person to blame is the person who did it. however i was let down and not protected by my parents or the other adults like SHAWNS PARENTS who were supposed to be like really close family friends? how I even had this one springer spaniel growing up she was like three days younger than me. She was a gift to my dad from these people. One of the dogs that they kept outside. I never fucking understood like yeah they had a cover and like a place to get out of the rain, but I swear that gardener paid more attention to the dogs than the owners & it made me sad. looking back that was probably backyard breeding.

if i didnt move i wonder if i would've ever been brave enough to face you in court. i used to be so insecure bc of my body, the umbilical hernia was like a grey/purple outtie bellybutton & i was weird & had few friends bc i struggled to fit in. (i know now im actually ❤️‍🩹❣️autistic 🥰) i was adopted and already struggled with ALL RELATIONSHIPS and abandonment issues - i felt like my family could decide to give me back & i wasnt adopted officially until i was six ? you had already R4P3D/sexually assaulted at least 2-3 times between ages 3-5… and just because i remember the time in your bedroom, kinda mine, and the bathroom blindfold thing(i felt so stupid for believing you had a pet snake that lived in the wall and was scared of people so i had to have a blind fold on- i loved reptiles and animals - i feel dumb even typing this i know i was just a kid and autistic and believe people wouldnt lie to me like that… i was giving him hand jobs maybe even gave it a kiss (not a bj) and by the 4-5time you let me not have on the blindfold…. so now as an adult any trouser snake jokes or one eyed snake jokes really mess me up. I struggle with sex. I struggle with body dysmorphia. I’ve had eating disorders my whole life because i think i was so afraid of looking like you. I did end up gaining weight in recovery I was 210 lbs and now im down fluxes between 140-130 and that’s cool I wanna get in shape and start building my muscles and tone up- I want to get fit so I can defend myself if I ever have to but also I want to live and be happy and free. I want to take care of my body because I love myself.

I turned out to be a kind person. I got sexually abused by other people after you because you made me an easier target. Hell the first person I told about you doing that shit was my best friend and neighbor - a girl a year older than me - who was also being abused at home by her brother and her cousin at the very least. Her brother also had me sit on his lap in a creepy way and she got jealous bc he was giving me attention… :/ she wasn’t bad, she was a kid who didn’t deserve it either. But I was left alone a lot & my parents lived my neighbor ( more than me I felt bc she wasn’t so weird and broken like me- she was neurotypical I think… idk if we were ever really friends bc she wasn’t nice to me in front of her other friends at school they were cool and pretty and I was the weird girl who played fairy’s over by the willow tree alone with maybe 1-3people at the height of the club maybe 5-6? lol but they didn’t stay long. Just me & my other good friend who moved schools too. (Sorry for adhd sidetrack)

I figured no one would really read all this.

If you got this far and know anything about legal stuff & like statute of limitations of sexual abuse of a minor ? Idk or if you have resources available.

I just want to be the loving peaceful person I wanna be. I wanna heal and live and stop letting my CPTSD , borderline personality disorder , (and my HSP highly sensitive persons of autism) control me. Detaching and “letting go” and like “not caring” isn’t possible for me yet. I can’t use whatever “compartmentalization “ people tell me to lol. I got here because my trauma brain PROTECTED ME by blocking it out because I was 3yo when it first happened. I have so much toxic shame and issues with dealing with embarrassing stuff lol . I am aware to grow I have to feel uncomfortable in the new things I’m doing.

comfort ≠ safety

Familiarity ≠ Love/connection

Also most importantly

“Fitting in” ≠ Belonging

“Fitting in” is actually the opposite of belonging. Because to belong is to be accepted as you are. But to “fit in” you remove pieces of yourself , and add bits of other people to make yourself the right shape 🧩 to fit someplace…. You water yourself down and cut yourself up… you have to change in unhealthy ways to “fit in” with people you don’t truly belong with. You’re not going to feel truly appreciated, loved, accepted, or safe there I promise. I know because that was every relationship my entire life I spent masking. I spent studying and learning to portray myself as normal and neuro typical as possible. However that included my relationships that involved sex - and because of my childhood trauma and NEVER GETTING HELP FOR IT PROFESSIONALLY (mom said “no dating at all” & my dad knew id do it anyway so he let me so i would actually tell him the truth -mostly) so i believed my only job as a girlfriend/partner is to give & to make them happy however i had to. Sex has always been performative on some level - whether it’s the way I look, how I sound, how I act, what moves I do or whatever, I studied porn and movies and people & I am playing a role - not as if I’m not enjoying the sex in a healthy relationship or anything - but my kind won’t allow me to just be- I have to make sure THEYRE SATISFIED. I have learned I’m only as good as what I can offer. And if I have no job, money, or house or whatever to bring to the table, the only way I was taught to repay the kindness is giving my body away- because men only want sex right?

I’ve been told by every single insecure man I ever dated that I have ZERO real friends - men aren’t friends with women ever - unless they’re gay- they want to fuck them & absolutely would fuck them 💯% of the time. Basically saying they have no female friends they wouldn’t fuck and that they’re only waiting their turn and they don’t care about my problems or anything they’re only using me and being fake nice. Like my friendship isn’t worth having & then when I lost all my friendships over the years it made me wonder if maybe they were right kinda not in a “they only wanted sex with me “ (bc really I don’t think they would’ve?) but I genuinely loved some of those guys like brothers - I would’ve taken a bullet for them or did time for them, I was always so jealous of male friendships - the “bros before hoes” thing and like they just fist fight it out have a beer and they’re friends again. No fake ass Frienemies , no only being nice to you bc they’re bullying you & trying to steal your friends/boyfriend/life (happened more than once with girls) or a friend who secretly hates them and sabotages/talks shit about them all the time. Or just like having a group of friends who never liked you but you genuinely thought they did but they were bullying and laughing AT YOU . You weren’t paranoid they were joking about you,….

I struggled with female friendships because my first bestie was also my one of my abusers who’s sexually experiment on me /make me do things to her. She knew all about sex and swear words & we’d be doing really inappropriate things to eachother (I knew it was wrong and didn’t want to but she was like my only friend and I mean my parents never caught us so it just kept happening - maybe she was making sense of what was going on with her ,… but we had lots of games that involved being tied up and stuff and then kidnapping & torture(giving the other orgasms… idk how my parents never saw anything, I remember them saying it was weird we closed the blinds in the playhouse…. I almost got caught a few times. I guess after I told them about Shawn at dinner one night - they all got super upset and LITTLE KIDS DONT HAVE THE ABILTY TO UNDERSTAND YOU ARENT MAD AT THEM. When parents get mad or do or say bad hurtful things children can not use rational logic bc their brains aren’t formed yet- they will believe THEY THEMSELVES ARE TO BLAME FOR BEING INHERENTLY BAD. So my toxic Shame spiral began- my parents liked her better than me. My mom always said “you’re never going to have any friends when you grow up because you’re such a brat. No one will ever wanna be with you” or her and my friend and me would play a board game & I’d be losing and get upset , and be called a sore loser but they’d be rubbing it in my face that they’re winning and that’s not wrong? 😑 she favored her and I was bullied by my friend . I felt left out.

One time for my birthday I had a party bigger than I wanted and they shoved my face in the cake in front of everyone I cried because it wasn’t funny - my mom said I ruined my party by crying and it wasn’t a big deal at all and I should stop being a baby.

My feelings are not valid to them.

I feel so invisible and unseen here

it doesn't matter how many posts I share or how many links I can send to their text or messenger or whatever I have tried so hard to educate people on what is going on with my brain thinking that if they loved me, they would take the time to fucking research themselves because I know I would and have when they had health conditions. I also know that going around expecting people to have the same kind of heart you do is going to get you hurt but being a highly sensitive person. It is really hard not to take things personally because it's like I would've done that for you or I would've never done that to you so I could turn my feelings off sometimes because its either 0-100 there's no in between. it's black or white, thinking all in or all out and my borderline controls my emotions even when my brain logically knows what I'm doing is not OK or what I said was hurtful or that this fight is stupid and I should stop. I can't in the moment because it takes a lot of practice and therapy to work through borderline personality disorder it's a personality disorder that affects everything I do and the things that happened to me when I was a little kid affect me because my brain was developing and you learn how to be a person before the age of six there's just a lot of intertwined shit, BPD and complex post traumatic stress disorder or CPTSD and ADHD and autism have a lot of overlapping symptoms, co-morbidity. have had lots of diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, bipolar because of my suicide attempt obviously drug induced schizophrenia when I was in active addiction and alcoholism. I was also houseless during addiction because I was living on the streets with one of my abusive ex-boyfriend, who was also an addict. I was constantly dating people dating emotionally unavailable people or emotionally unintelligent people because they could not commit. I have been trying to heal my inner child and these wounds by replaying them over and over and over with the wrong people in order to be a secure attached person you have to be able to heal your inner child and your loving parent . " adult, children of alcoholics and dysfunctional families." has been a godsend of Group. I had to make it through years of actual drug groups and everything like intensive outpatient but for the most part addicts are people who are just trying to self medicate other problems they're trying to escape pain or reality or cope with some mental illness, they are not inherently evil people. It's really sad to me because I lost so many amazing people addiction. People who made this world brighter place, but it's often people with good heart end up choosing poison that slowly kill themselves because they can't handle the pain of being a good person when the world is so cold.

I have been so betrayed and screwed over in this life by people. I never thought would do it to me people that I loved unconditionally and would've died for did me dirtier than anything I could've ever imagined. worst of all, I have abandoned and betrayed myself over and over again every time I choose to not be myself authentically. Every time I showed up for work masking, pretending to be normal and not calling out the racist trans phobic motherfuckers that came into my store my therapist said my job was morally wounding me every single day, because I worked for a company that supported the genocide that is happening in Palestine. Or because I had discrimination against me and my ADHD time, blindness, autism and being deaf or constantly being misunderstood and said that I'm being rude when I genuinely was not or I constantly get told that I'm fighting and arguing or questioning authority when I'm just asking questions for clarity because I need to know information my brain works differently than other peoples and it is scientifically proven that when you grow up in a Neurotypical society, as a neurodivergent person, you are going to experience so much trauma just from trying to fit in because regardless of what other people think I knew my whole life something was wrong. I felt like I didn't belong. I felt like everybody else got a fucking map or a rule book and I swear if I could find my old diaries, I would show you the entries. I always felt like I was a misprint or defective product that if I was found out, I would be sent back to the machine factory and be destroyed or replaced. mental Health was so taboo it's not like it was ever looked at a place like a doctor that supposed to make you feel better didn't we talk about things that were uncomfortable bottling things up just doesn't work for me so I want my laundry I wanna be open and honest about all the things I've been through because I know what it's like to be alone and not have anybody to talk to you about it.

i know i am someone i wouldve ran to as a child for safety. that matters.

we are every age we ever were still. i am still the three-year-old who thought there was a ghost in my room. I'm still the five-year-old who didn't want their movie shut off or to get in trouble with her mom for causing problems at her workplace or embarrassing her in front of her friends still. 20 something-year-old who woke up to being raped on my birthday in 2018. or who woke up being raped during the day when i thought it was safe to sleep outside :( who then got beat up by my then fiance who robbed me of 100$(then got mad i called him on it bc he got it stollen by someone bc he was a bad dude who owed money idk but he got mad and i received the biggest beating i had ever gotten by him- i couldnt breathe without my ribs hurting bc they were bruised or cracked idk. i couldnt wear a bra for weeks - and at the time i wanted to no longer be alive because i was in constant pain just existing- breathing laying sitting bending ugh it was awful(i took a drink mix bottle $1 out his bag to use bc i wanted a drink with flavor he took my money lol- i figured itd be NBD but he flipped out (i should've known better lol meth heads and women beaters dont thibk logocally) but he had his hands around my neck and i told him to finish me off - the look in his eyes was terrifying bc he was having fun being in control- this was the only time he touched me anymore so i was so touch starved i would rather be hit than ignored. i loved that jerk so much back then. i just wanted to be loved. i thought he was my ride or die. but he was a narcissistic sociopath. he only cared about himself, drugs & money. he cared more about what strangers thought of him & what new people could offer , that even though i was willing to do anything for him, and was loyal and only wanted us to finally get out place together, he asked me to marry him with a bs ring to shut me up, but i thought he really loved me. i thought we got each other. truth was i tolerated so much horrible behavior and disrespect & he was racist, selfish, cheater, liar, manipulator. he enjoyed hurting me and making me cry. i thought if i showed him how much i care & how much i tried, if i stay loyal and keep helping him however i can he will SEE IM GENUINELY IN LOVE AND HE WILL PICK ME & see i wont abandon him & will be us against the world.

thats not what happens ever btw.

you show them you will allow that disrespect and any and all worse levels of disrespect too.

you staying shows you are okay being lied to, zmade fun of in front of others, like the time he said something like "hey you know ______this piece of info that apparently everyone knows isnt true "because common sense"(im autistic and BELIEVED MY FIANCE WOULDNT LIE TO ME?) ——- the sky is actually red because of science" <— not what was said but basically how it always went.

I would believe him and ask more questions because i looked at him like he was smart and i trusted him. and i asked him not to abandon me or like ostracize me in the new place…. but he made an absolute fool out of me - showed all the strangers i was gonna spend god knew how long with , that my own fiance didnt respect me & they didnt have to either. and they didnt. he would rob or rip me off, leave me sick af alone & crying & he would berate me like its my fault… he made friends and cut me out and left me to fend for myself after swearing he wouldnt. i was 2k miles away from anyone i knew or trusted and he continuously betrayed me over and over because i kept going back and believing him. he cried once when i was done and trying to leave. i found out he lied about the girl he said meant nothing hed been seeing her the entire year still- wouldny block her or tell her we were engaged but said he was doing everything we were just without me. bc he cared about her more then me.

people will use you because you let them

people treat you how you allow them to

healthy boundaries matter and are an invitation into your life- not a dismissal. its the persons choice to respect you enough to listen.

i stayed with men who never loved me at all.

i slept with people bc it was the only way to feel close to them. they were closed off and had no intentions on letting me in- they just wanted to control me, manipulate the situation, get all the attention for their ego & the benefits of being loved and adored without having to put in effort. they liked how i made them feel but i dont believe they ever liked me. I love me though i like me too i tried really hard to make myself keep loving after my heart got broken . i stayed kind and a romantic who believes in love and the goodness of people … "we may not all be here to evolve though- some are here to show us what happens if we dont"

i am trying to cope with how angry i am.

i was a child and was meant to be protected.

i wasnt prepared for real life at a either because of my parents inability to sit in the uncomfortable-ness and have conversations that NEEDED TO BE HAD. dont protect your kids in a way that shelters them , prepare them , with kindness - you can teach them to be strong and smart without breaking them. you should be a safe place for your child. you shouldnt make them feel like their existence bothers you- or blame them for making you crazy…. lol because really you are the ones who raised me- so dont put your low ass emotional IQ/EQ intelligence on me. i put work in. ive trained algorithms to be full of self help and animals to make me happy and heal. i am grateful for the people i have, my pets, my life & recovery & for my partner who has been AMAZING - literally idk what id have done if i didnt have you to help me stay grounded and how you supoort me through all of this and make me feel loved and appreciated and like you actually want me for me and not just sex. <3 the fact youre so nonjudgmental of my past and traumas. im the luckiest person ever & am glad i finally got a chance to have a partner like you. heres to the time ahead together <3 2months soon ^_^

yep this was me trying to end on a high note <3 i need to be grateful in recovery <3 and i am. today is lovely, sitting outside in the sun with the pup, trying to get this off my chest and hoping it stays hidden on my page. ive never said all this outloud before .

thanks to whoever read all that.

Exotic animals

Exotic animals are unique and fascinating creatures that are often sought after as pets for their rarity, beauty, or unique characteristics. The term "exotic" generally refers to animals that are not native to a particular region, and can range from reptiles and amphibians to birds and mammals. If you're considering purchasing or adopting an exotic animal, it’s essential to understand the responsibilities involved, their specific care requirements, and the ethical implications.

At animalssale.com, you might come across a wide variety of exotic animals that are available for purchase, but it’s crucial to approach such purchases carefully. Before buying an exotic animal, it’s important to consider the laws, regulations, and ethical concerns surrounding their ownership. Here’s a guide to some popular exotic animals and what to know about them.

1. Exotic Birds

Exotic birds are often a favorite among pet enthusiasts due to their vibrant colors, intelligence, and social nature. However, they can also be quite demanding and require special care.

Popular Exotic Bird Species:

Macaws: These large, colorful parrots are known for their striking plumage and strong personalities. Macaws can live for 50 years or more and require a lot of attention, socialization, and space to thrive.

Cockatoos: Cockatoos are affectionate and social birds that can become very attached to their owners. They are highly vocal and may not be suitable for all households due to their loud calls.

African Grey Parrots: Famous for their exceptional intelligence and ability to mimic human speech, African Greys are great companions but require a lot of mental stimulation and interaction.

Considerations for Bird Ownership:

Diet: Exotic birds often have specialized diets that need to be carefully managed to ensure their health.

Space: Birds like macaws and cockatoos need large cages and regular out-of-cage time for exercise and social interaction.

Socialization: Birds are highly social creatures and require constant companionship to prevent loneliness and behavioral issues.

2. Reptiles

Reptiles are fascinating animals that can make great pets due to their relatively low maintenance. However, many species have specific habitat needs, so research is essential before getting one.

Popular Exotic Reptiles:

Ball Pythons: These non-venomous snakes are known for their docile nature, making them one of the most popular snake species for beginner reptile enthusiasts.

Bearded Dragons: These reptiles are friendly, easy to handle, and have a calm demeanor, making them a great choice for first-time reptile owners.

Chameleons: Chameleons are famous for their ability to change color and their long, prehensile tails. However, they require a very specific environment with the right temperature, humidity, and lighting.

Considerations for Reptile Ownership:

Habitat: Most reptiles require specialized enclosures, heat lamps, and humidity levels to mimic their natural environments.

Diet: Different reptiles have varied dietary needs. Some may require live prey, while others are herbivores.

Handling: Some reptiles can be delicate and may not enjoy handling. It’s important to respect their space and only interact with them when necessary.

3. Exotic Mammals

Exotic mammals can make interesting and unique pets, but they are generally more complex to care for than common household pets like cats or dogs. Some species are illegal to own in certain areas, so always check local regulations before acquiring one.

Popular Exotic Mammals:

Sugar Gliders: These small, nocturnal marsupials are known for their gliding abilities and social nature. They require companionship and can bond closely with their owners.

Capuchin Monkeys: Known for their high intelligence, capuchin monkeys are playful and can be trained to perform various tasks. However, they require a lot of attention, stimulation, and can be difficult to care for long-term.

Fennec Foxes: Fennec foxes are small desert-dwelling mammals known for their large ears. They are intelligent and playful but can be noisy and require a lot of exercise and mental stimulation.

Considerations for Mammal Ownership:

Socialization: Many exotic mammals are social animals and require companionship. Sugar gliders, for example, should not be kept alone as they thrive in pairs or groups.

Diet: Exotic mammals often require specific diets tailored to their species. Some may need special vitamins or fresh food, and it’s important to research the correct nutrition for each species.

Space: Many exotic mammals, like monkeys or foxes, require a significant amount of space to roam and play. This can be challenging for pet owners with limited living space.

4. Exotic Amphibians

Amphibians are fascinating creatures that can thrive in well-maintained habitats, making them great pets for reptile and amphibian enthusiasts.

Popular Exotic Amphibians:

Axolotls: These Mexican salamanders are known for their ability to regenerate limbs and retain juvenile features throughout their life. They require cool, clean water and a specific environment to thrive.

Poison Dart Frogs: Known for their vibrant colors, poison dart frogs are small, but they require a carefully controlled environment with the right humidity and temperature.

Tree Frogs: These frogs are small and come in a variety of colors. They can live in terrariums with the right humidity and temperature, making them relatively easy to care for.

Considerations for Amphibian Ownership:

Aquatic vs. Terrestrial: Some amphibians, like axolotls, live in water, while others, like tree frogs, live on land. Make sure to provide the proper environment for the species.

Humidity and Temperature: Amphibians are sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. It's essential to monitor these conditions closely and provide the right setup for your pet.

5. Ethical Considerations and Regulations

When purchasing an exotic animal, it’s important to be aware of the ethical implications and legal restrictions. Many species of exotic animals are protected by law due to concerns about conservation and animal welfare. Some species are illegal to own in certain states or regions due to concerns over environmental impact and public safety.

Things to Keep in Mind:

Wildlife Conservation: Many exotic animals are endangered, and their capture and trade can harm wild populations. Consider adopting an exotic animal from a rescue organization instead of buying one from a breeder.

Local Laws: Some areas have strict laws regarding the ownership of exotic animals. Make sure to check your local and state regulations before purchasing.

Long-Term Commitment: Exotic animals often have specific care requirements and can live for many years. Ensure that you’re prepared for the long-term commitment of owning an exotic pet.

Conclusion

Exotic animals can make unique and fascinating pets, but they require specialized care and attention. Whether you’re considering an exotic bird, reptile, mammal, or amphibian, it’s essential to research the species thoroughly and understand the responsibilities involved in caring for them. Always check local laws and regulations regarding the ownership of exotic animals and consider adopting from rescue organizations to give these creatures a loving home.

If you are considering acquiring an exotic pet, websites like animalssale.com may have listings for different species, but always prioritize responsible ownership and ethical treatment of animals.

[stars-and-bites]

I've been putting off making big the announcement on Tumblr... mostly because of the stress of current things. Huge mistake on my part for letting myself have hope and optimism. I forgot what country this was, and how many states don't value basic critical thinking.

But today's the two week anniversary since we brought her home, so it's about time that I shared her with all of you.

Meet my baby!

Her name is Baby!

She's a 25 year old Congo African Grey, that we're currently fostering and hopefully be adopting in a few months.

So yeah, I'm the mother of a little talking dinosaur now.

You should probably expect some amount of parrot posting and spamming from me going forward from now on.
