Mmm, well I only had a male as a pet not as an egg layer.. was simple to look after with giving them bird seed and odd bits of fruit and veg though
so just like smol chickens then?
I think so yes, they're more timid though
And they cannot really fly
Mine loved to fly... Into walls
Hovering like not above a foot above the ground
They're just so cute though
I love small animals
very feathery mammals apparently xD
I could have sworn I typed animals xD
lol
auto correct?
Maybe, either horrid typing or my brain isn't concentrating hard enough
Haha!
I kind of wish I could have a pet lion or mountain lion
Or maybe just a friendly wild one that I could be friends with and walk up to and pet
Yeah, I’d like a pet wolf
ya'll are nuts, them are some high maintenance exotic animals to keep as pets.
I think some lions are probably nice
probably, doesnt stop them from being very difficult to keep
Yeah true
Although I’ve seen/read stories about fully domesticated bears.
Still it would be nice to know a nice one that could hang out with you sometimes
most exotic animals are just not suited to normal households
Mainly in Russia but I suppose they have the disposition for that.
well I know the exotic animal trade is kind of big in America, you could do volunteer work at a sanctuary, a lot of those kinds of animals get abandoned when people realize they just don't have the capacity to handle an animal such high maintenance.
even less demanding exotic animals like large parrots still really catch people off guard for how much attention and care they need as well as their on going costs and special needs
and I know in the case of large birds, when they get abandoned they are extremely difficult to rehome due to stress.
Yeah, people don’t realize that about birds.
most exotic animals don't get rehomed, if they are lucky they will end up in a sanctuary otherwise they will just get put down, if they don't die due to stress related issues in the first place.
(for context I used to work at a wildlife sanctuary btw xD)
I’m sure you have some interesting stories.
they got a lot of exotic birds in that had been abandoned, luckily the exotic pet trade down under is pretty small for the most part.
I wish Louie Theroux would do a men's rights documentary
He'd actually be fair
really like that mens radio post on reddit if anyone saw it
This is a really sad case.
