This. Did this at my old job(which had nothing to do with bugs or gardening).
We built a big cage with just some wood and mesh, placed it over some milkweed and started putting them in it. We would try to cover it when it got too windy or would rain. We had a decent success rate but still lost some cocoons. Then we uprooted and replanted milkweed in some pots and started bringing them indoors when it was night, rained, windy, chilly, etc and our success rate of survival to adulthood was almost 100%.

why are cockatiels so autistic?

Cockatiels are the worst birds.

The beauty of pigeon is overlooked.

Vultures and bats.
I've always wanted to pet a vulture's beautiful bald head, and bats are basically flying puppies.

truest statement i've ever read

You find them growing out of cow pies.

They tend to grow out of fallen decomposing logs in clusters this time of year.

Don't trust any mushroom you find growing outside - you can cultivate psilocybin safely on your own

the youngins are leaving the nest around now, they're probably just excited to fly

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Hawk of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door—
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door—
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this brown bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
“Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, “art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Hawk wandering from the Nightly shore—
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!”
Quoth the Hawk “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA."

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning—little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door—
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such scream as “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.”

>low maintanice
no dog is low maintenance


>can be trained for shittimg and peeing outside
every dog can, that's the first thing they learn

>>2449171
this, but research first (not the shitty care guides)

There's a difference between an actual service animal and an emotional support animal.

What's the note like? Is it a prescription? Either way, just a note form your doctor is enough. Though people will still be skeptical about it. Even if it was a service dog, people would still bother you about it and act like you're full of shit. You may be kicked out of place, but if you have the note from your doctor you could absolutely go after them for it.

There's really no real qualifications for either, though a service animal is trained to do a job. They will not piss everywhere, they may distract or warn you if say, you're about to have a seizure, lead you somewhere safe, etc. I highly doubt you could train a pigeon for that but you want/need an emotional support pet so I'd say that's even more lax. If I had a dime every time someone brought in some shitty, small, untrained neurotic puppy and claimed it was a 'therapy dog' I'd be rich. But I have to allow animals in the shop I work with because of my boss(people here have open wounds, good forbid if someone is allergic) so as long as they behave, service animal or not - I won't bother them.

I can't imagine people giving much of a shit about a pigeon. In my teens I was never hassled about bringing my pigeon on trains or having a rat around my neck anywhere. Questions for sure, and lots of people wanted to touch them but no real problems. But if you don't like the interactions or want to avoid confrontation, consider putting said pigeon in your shirt or a hoodie pocket rather than just waving it around in your hands and keep your doctor's note ready. You'll still be judged but they have to back off or you're free to raise hell about it.

That's sweet OP.

Thanks anon.

He's a "well trained" pigeon. He can't fly or anything and wears a leash and diaper.

I'll just see if I can dig up that note later.
Does this mean that the online registration would be the most official process? You know, to get certifications and actual documents that say I need him and all.

its kinda dog looking

I don't.
I don't hate any animals, for that matter.
They're just doing their job filling the niche that they evolved to fill.
Can't hate on something that's doing it's job.

>>2448780
If the animal doesn't get paid to do it, it's technically an internship and not a job.

>>2448813
It gets paid in food.

Save the frogs
Anything marine
Specific donations to high biodiversity areas at risk (cloud forests, Madagascar, Indonesian rainforests etc.)

Nature Conservancy, International Rhino Foundation. Honestly, most "conservation" organizations are "humans want x" organizations, not environmental preservation organizations.

The only one worth it. Been donating for over a year or so now.

Look around the site. You'll see some animals that are so, so endangered and yet you'll never have heard of them.
