Back when I was a kid my grandfather found a week old crow among the grass and long story short, by the time the crow was a year old he was practically a dog with wings. He would follow us around while biking and take a ride on the handles. He would constantly bring home coins and shiny objects and was pretty much an indoors pet (despite having open windows and constantly walking out with him he would refuse to leave).

The cunt is almost 21 years old and I always wanted to get one myself.
I finally found a crow breeder that will be selling them this next breeding season, however he told me the birds are already 2 months old by the time they can be sold. Isn't this too much? I always assumed that my grandfather's crow was so desperately attached to him because he recognized him as his parent. This is extremely important because pet crows usually die due to stray cats or other hazards that a house crow doesn't learn to avoid. My grandfather lets the crow fly free but the crow is almost always in our line of sight. I'm worried a crow that is already 2 months old may not bond with its trainer properly.

Any thoughts on this?

Why do people even find toucans beautiful? They're literally crows with bananas on their faces. If toucans had normal-sized black beaks like crows and vultures, everybody would think they're ugly.

Why should we protect them? Aren't they just resources to us? Why do we care? Is it because we consider them to be in the same level as us or something else? Honestly just curious.

My cat has urinary blockage and I literally can't afford the vet. What the FUCK am I going to do? I tried to palpate his bladder and he did pee a little bit but he's already been back to the litter box twice.

66 years ago, our world was populated by giraffe-sized quadrupedal stork monsters.

Thank god these things were killed by the meteor. Can you imagine being swallowed by one of these creatures? It would be like the infamous "pelican eats a pigeon" video...but with YOU in the role of the pigeon.

So my ex-roomies had a baby and left their cat, who I practically raised from kitten, in my care.

They then came back while I was working and got more of their stuff but left the back door open and she got out. Now her paw is messed up and I can't afford to pay to fix it.

I tried a gofundme but so far (even with my own $$$ contributions) I haven't gotten much exposure.

Any ideas?

Would a spider slip on ice or would it be able to maintain its traction?

Hey /an/
Anyone know what could be wrong with my leopard gecko?

I've had him for over a year now and he hasn't been eating the past 6 months. I've tried crickets, meal worms, even wax worms and he won't bother.
I couldn't find anything online. I hope someone could help

My dog will not stop chewing on her foot. The vet has said that there's nothing wrong with it besides the raw spots she keeps making, which she licks and nibbles on until they start bleeding. We've been cleaning the wounds regularly and bandaging them up too, but it doesn't help because she can still get to her leg even with a cone (plus we suspect she's starting to eat the gauze as well." The cone is also a problem as she refuses to adapt to it. The stucco is coming off the corners of the walls because she repeatedly rams into them, the entire family's lower legs are bruised because she bumps us, and she regularly clears off tables and knocks over decorations with the thing. We've tried playing with her until she gets tired, as it might be a boredom based habit, but no matter how much we play she goes right back to trying to gnaw her foot off. This has been going on for a couple months now, and I just see no end in sight. Do you guys have any clue what might solve this, short of either lopping her leg off or getting rid of her?
