There's something fishy about this build...

Oof. Are all reefers enablers? :grinning-squinting-face:


The store told me not to feed the macaw because it bites. I brought walnuts and pellets, and I made a lot of progress with him in just a few minutes. I got him to come out of his cage.

He’s terrified of perches. Looks like someone used it in a negative way. Probably because they were scared of getting bitten.

I want the bird because I want the challenge of a big parrot with a dangerous beak. I want to challenge of taming it. I’m actually really good at taking parrots. I tamed flea market cockatiels which were basically wild.

I’m a horrible enabler. Be careful with bird trauma it’s a real thing and makes it hard to rehab.

Just throwing this out there: Hedgehogs are quiet.

Ok so I’ll add hedgehogs to the list of animals I want
Also on the list sugar gliders and chinchillas

Wouldn’t mind another snake ……

Blue and Golds are prettier to me!

This is the guy. He looks a bit smaller than average, but I think he likes me and I like his size. He gave me a happy look when I went back to the store to snap a photo.

I could totally be misreading the situation and be anthropomorphizing. Maybe the bird isn’t calling me to be his forever lover.

What’s the cost now? African Greys are about 8k…

Now I’m trying to figure out a way to convince my boyfriend we also need a parrot

Your need a lyrebird

Get a group of flying squirrel instead of a sugar glider. Much much better pets

Unfortunately I would have to break several laws to acquire one

But that would be awesome lol

Should have said had…. I had a ball python - two actually- raised mice for their dinner….fun stuff…need 3 tanks for that alone lol! And the males will definitely eat the babies

Also had two iguanas …..

This was all before I moved to Colorado - I found them all good homes prior to moving

How many is a group?

- scratches out sugar glider and writes down flying squirrel-

I like buying any animal in pairs or more - so they have company of their own kind

It’s nowhere near 8K. That’s crazy.

@Slocke

I wonder if they can mimic words—that could be the best thing - unfortunately mine would only know how to curse

Both sugar gliders and flying squirrels are social. They need at least two but the more the merrier.
Here’s a baby I saved a while back:

I mean if they can do a chainsaw and a camera they can definitely do words, right?

I would think

But I’ve made mistakes before

 

[Reefing_addiction]

A@Slocke a quick search shows I would be breaking Colorado laws by owning flying squirrels- which to me is more reason to get em

Where did you save him from?

You have a hedgehog?

I did for a couple of years. She was old and eventually passed. 7 years.
