Rats are underrated af

i dunno if want anymore after this

We phase in and out. We'll have a couple then not get any others for a few years

theyre really cool and interactive but theyre just not my thing

We're likely done at this point though

And if you happen to have one that's super cool and you love they just dont live very long and it's kind of sad

yeah im kind of getting into more long term pets

i can deal with the heartbreak of it and all but

the older i get the less time i have to dedicate and it just feels too short

We can too, but I like long-term pets more

We dedicate a LOT of time to pets I guess. We used to have a shelter, and we're going to start one back up once we get into our own place again

Last was ferrets, next is gonna be birds.

ive been more into birds recently since i found out we have a good bird breeder

kind of kicking myself in the ass tho because i couldve gotten a cockatoo for $200 and i got a cockatiel

Birds are awesome. We have 5 right now. The first was around 5 years ago at petco. We got a massive discount because no one wanted her

She was a serial biter. But she's good with us. (She is a green cheek though so only so good)

We got guilted into it because she immediately bonded with us and wouldnt let anyone else touch her

lmao i really fucking hate conure bites

i swear the smaller bites hurt more

She almost never bites me, but she's a lil shit if you try to touch her cage

And if you are a flincher it's worse lol

people who are afraid of birds crack me the fuck up

i love seeing people duck when a damn finch flies across the room

Green cheek conures are great though. They are extremely docile. Ours has ptsd so she's not as chill. But she is still really sweet for a 28 year old wild caught trauma birb

LOL yeah

thats crazy wild caught birds are usually assholes their whole lives

I think our biggest dickhead is our runty house sparrow

its always really fucked when that shit happens and they never quite adapt to outdoors or indoors

That's why blue crowns were popular as wild caughts

They are sweet even as adults wild caught

We dont know her actual age though. She has a band, and it was outlawed 28 years ago.

So there's a high chance she's older than that

my old nuthead neighbor has a kookaburra

Those fucking things

Sound like monkeys

i wanted to beat their ass so bad that thing was so loud

I think they're hilarious but I'd never want one lol

Stubborn little dicks

sounds like your problem can be solved with a singular shotgun shell, dani

We have a house sparrow who's like 18 grams. Super runty. He's a total dickbag. His mate is a female parakeet with a deformed beak

i dont shoot animals
