I couldn't find a birb general to post but I wanted to share this anyway.

My parents have just finished turning their garden sun seat into an aviary for their 2 budgies, because they said it was cruel to keep them in a cage as the younger one was always trying to fly.

Thought it looked pretty good.

Are there any good aquarium or ocean simulation games? Most are goofy, cheesy shit with unrealistic fish and stupid decorations like treasure chests and plastic mermaids. I'm looking for something that will let me actually build a real system, preferably with editable environment also, since I can't have a large tank right now. AbyssRium is the best I've found so far, which is pretty sad since it's just a goofy phone app. I've literally been looking for these since I was a child and there's never been a good one that I know of. I don't care what platform it's for.

It's alright. I mean it's already better than the reefbuilder in the original Aquanaut's Holiday. But it's still nowhere near approaching a basic GOOD aquarium sim, which has literally never been made.

>>2390746
Oh boy. I just bought a new Moto G4 Play because it was cheap. I hope it works.

If I were to get a dog, is there a reason outside of price not to feed it wet food?

I always feel bad for my friends' dogs who are restricted to dry kibble 24/7. I can't imagine what it would be like to eat Cheerios without milk for the rest of eternity.

Most of my friends' dogs that are restricted to kibble seem to pick away at their food, and leave it even as long as overnight. The other dogs that get at least some wet food or prepared human food seem to eat it excitedly.

I don't have a dog at the moment, so just wondering, were I to get one.

Most commercial kibble is garbage made out of some grain or other carb. Eating cheerios without milk for the rest of eternity is exactly what it is.

I feed my dog only wet food and meat scraps from cooking, he eats it all up happily whereas with kibble I have to stuff it into his mouth one by one for him to eat it at all.
>>
My dogs get kibble and inhale their food down every time. I give them little tastes of my food but they never get anything more than that. I feed a decent brand (grain-free Fromm) and rotate flavors, so maybe that's why.

Do any of you have unneutered adult dogs? How is it? What is their temperament like? Have they undergone any alternative impotency procedures (vasectomy, zeuterin)? Tell me all about it.

The idea of neutering seems pretty barbaric to me, considering I treasure my manhood. I'm not comfortable with doing that to my dog, but I also know firsthand how valuable the temperament benefits can be - especially in the early years. So I'm curious to know just how much of an impact neutering really makes.

my guys act like every other dog. the whole "it makes them calmer" thing doesn't really seem to mean shit unless there's a bitch in heat nearby.

its good in that it prevents unwanted puppies and testicular problems. i don't get it done to mine because i'm a hillbilly and my idea of a pet is just an animal that shows up and decides free food = BFF

I own an intact dog.


If your first thought is to chop a dogs nuts off when it acts out from lack of training then you should not own dogs.

Can woodpeckers hear bugs in the trees? Is it a gasline or something that could sound similar?

t. obviously has no idea what im talking about

Woodpeckers drum to communicate. He is trying to get hot bitches; can't fault him for trying. Drumming isnt restricted to wood, they will do it on anything that they think sounds cool.

Just try to cover the metal for the summer, it will go find something else to hit on.

/pp/ pocket pet genera. Rats, guinea pigs, hamsters and other small mammals.

Didn't see one up and I haven been here in a few months. But onto my issue. I adopted 2 male rats. The previous owner said jack was aggressive and bit her all the time. Once I got them, jack was a little skittish. He would squeak when I picked him up, but no biting. Now, I can pick him up no squeaking or even struggling.

I have only had females prior to adopting. The boys (they are of course in a separate cage than the females) have recently started fighting. My girls would have little scuffles but nothing like these boys are doing. Jack has an open wound in his back. He had one in his neck but it seemed to heal up overnight a few weeks ago. The other male (Simon) has cuts on his face, tail and nuts. I'm worried because my females NEVER draw blood, let alone leave open wounds.

Is this normal? Should I consider separation? I'm taking them off tap water and giving them spring. I read the fluoride in tap water could cause thyroid issues which leads to hormonal issues which leads to aggression.

They are about 6-7 months old. Help?

Is there any way you could separate them but still let them see each other? Maybe with a wire divider?
>>
>>2389703
I could look for some type of wire divider. I was hoping it wouldn't come to that, but they are giving each other too many wounds. Do you think hardware cloth could work as a divider?

Is anyone here involved with anti farm people? If so what experience do you have with farms? What is the level of experience for your group? Why are you against us? I just want to understand where people are coming from on this issue. I am willing to discuss aspects of dairy farms that I have experience with.

Pic related, sensationalist caption about a mother kissing her child as it's taken. The cow was probably just trying to lick the birthing juices off the cow. If a mother doesn't want you taking the calf they will literally attack you. Things like this are why I want to know more. There are legitimate issues, but things that sensationalize nonsense only alienate people in the industry when we are demonized.

It's pretty fucking cruel yet our society basically needs the slaughter to remain functioning without disturbances to regular normie life.

What aspects do you consider cruel?
>>
>>2378697
Hello! I'm neither for nor against farms. I don't know much about them in general, so i'd like to learn more. I believe that using animals for products is perfectly fine as long as they are treated ethically and don't suffer.

Are cows on dairy farms treated well? Do they have clean space to graze and roam? What happens when they get old? What happens to their calves?
