Anyone know much about the logistics of finding apartments that accept small parrots/birds?
I moved out of my parents house for college in a small town and couldn't find any apartment that would accept even any pets so my parents agreed to keep my 2 conures while I was in college. Now next summer I'm going to be moving to a pretty large city so I should have an easier time finding places that are pet friendly.
But I'm just casually looking at places online and if I put a filter for "allows cats and dogs" it reduces the listings by like 80%
I'm wondering if anyone knows from experience how likely places are to accept caged birds even if they state no cats or dogs?
I doubt my birds could damage anything and they're quiet in their cage/sleeping from around 6pm to 8am. And I'm prepared to sound proof if possible.

Ask, you can't go wrong.

Just find places that you like and ask. I learned that most places just mean no dogs and cats when they say no pets. My current place said "no pets" but they are fine with my two cockatiels.

I rent and have two budgies but i live in the UK. Generally pets that can cause property damage arent accepted for obvious reasons but that seems to apply only for cats and dogs. Caged animals arent really a problem. Noise might be an issue however.

You have 2 seconds to prove that dogs are not emotionally on the exactly same level as humans.

What you don't know is the pug's eyeball popped out after that photo, and after the 10th $500 vet bill that year, the owner finally just gave both of the abominations to a shelter to cut their losses.

HOLY FUCK
http://www.guineapigtoday.com/2012/06/28/californias-giant-guinea-pigs-cuys-criollos-mejorados/
In 2010, small animal rescues in Southern California began receiving phone calls from animal shelters reporting extra large, “wild” guinea pigs. Many of the shelters did not normally contact rescues; yet the guinea pigs were so difficult to handle that shelters deemed them unadoptable. Rescues were puzzled at first, until a San Diego veterinarian posted photos on Facebook of a large, polydactyl guinea pig that resembled those found in the shelters. These guinea pigs came from a local Petco store. When asked about the guinea pigs, Petco queried their supplier and replied that “. . . these are a new type of guinea pig that they are testing. They were excited to hear that people noticed and liked them.”
Always red, red and white or white in color (It is not acceptable to eat dark colored Cuys in Peru);
May have Polydactyly, a mutation caused by inbreeding that results in extra toes;
Weighing between four and eight pounds when full grown (average guinea pigs weigh about two pounds);
Larger features, such as wider ears and huge feet.
Most of these Guinea pigs are feral and difficult to tame, especially if they have reached adulthood without much handling. They also possess superior jumping skills, and cannot be kept in an uncovered cage.

God damn Petco is such fucking shit. For those who aren't aware, they are buying the feeder guinea pigs because they are cheaper than the pet ones, and customers were simply not dissuaded by them immediately. Whatever they can manage to squeeze a few more bucks

Give him some snacks. I don't know what chickens eat but I'm guessing worms or corn? I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

I wanted to ask. What the hell happened with cats in the last 5 years?
Their meowing doesn't sound like an animal anymore, it sounds more like a human baby in distress. Their meowing started sounding fake as hell, it's the same sound a human could easily mimick.
What's going on?

It's nothing new. Meowing as adults isn't natural to wildcats, it's only domesticated cats that do it anyway and it probably is because high-pitched, distressed sounds get our attention and remind us of babies.
It's very unlikely there have been changes even localised to cats in your area in the last five years - evolution just doesn't happen that fast, and it would have to be some unbelievably massive pressure to wipe out all cats that don't meow in a very particular way.

It's probably you, are you closer to child rearing age than you were 5 years ago? It's probably your brain making you more receptive to caring for kids

Do turtles and tortoises make good pets?

Probably not if you have small kids, as most turtles/tortoises carry Salmonella. However if you yourself can be diligent about hand washing after handling it and have the time, space, and finances (including vet bills) for proper care, I don't see why not.
>>
Only if your kids and their kids want to care for it when it outlives you.
They can be entertaining, too.
>>
>>2242218
they are cute and chill.
be careful of wild animal attacks if you have one of the larger outdoor ones though.
someone once posted a pic of his giant tortoise with bite marks and scratches all over his shell from an apparent possum/raccoon/something attack.
which I thought was just plain bizarre - why the fuck would they mess with an animal well over 5 times its size?

They are neither, but have more in common with animals taxonomically. The way we interact with them is somewhat the same as we do with plants.

Vileplume, however, is a Rafflesia, which is a plant.
Terrible pic choice.

Hello anons of /an/, I'm in need of a bit of help.
My sister is thinking of purchasing two zebra finches. She has also considered getting a diamond dove.
Would you be willing to lend me some knowledge on these birds? I'd prefer advice from people who have owned these birds or have had some experience with them.
She's doing her own research, but I'm curious as to what you guys have to say about them.

B- Bump...

here's your advice: dont own birds you fucker.
>>
>>2242103
Finches are hands off kind of pets. If she just wants some pretty birds to look at, they're ideal. But it would be better to get a small group than just a pair, they're pretty social.
Alright I'll give you the short version
>take dog to vet to be neutered
>simple thing no worries
>get a phone call the next day from the vet office that there was an issue
>they let a vet in training do the procedure unsupervised
>she cut his dick off
I mean, I don't gotta worry about him getting any dogs pregnant, but should I be taking a legal route with this? Needless to say I'm not happy with the service

She probably was a fifth wave trans-interqueer feminist and just got treiggered when she saw his dick. Xe should be taking legal action against your dog if you ask me.
>>
At a minimum, I would lodge a complaint against her plus the clinic with your state's vetinary board.
I think legal action is not unreasonable as well.

How can you accidentally cut a dogs dick off?? Pics or it didn't happen OP..

Rawhide. Safe or fatal choking hazard? I give them to my dog about every other day to keep him from chewing up my furniture. Raw bones he doesn't touch after hes gnawed the meat off and plastic/indestructible bones get torn up and swallowed which I assume is even worse than the rawhide because at least its somewhat digestible. I'm getting concerned though because sometimes he chews it too fast and I hear his stomach gurgling like hell to digest it. No visible signs of danger yet, good health, normal poo's. Its the "what if" that Im afraid of.

Rawhide is good in moderation, but if you're worried, there are some digestible rawhides that you can give your dog.
>>
>>2241967
Bully sticks are completely digestible. Poultry feet work well too, but might be too small for you.
>>
>>2242136
And god damn expensive too. Bully sticks that is. My dog goes through a 12 inch 8 dollar bully stick in about 5 minutes

So this little guy, 9 years old, is falling asleep right now. After 9,5 years of no illness, disease or accidents he got sick, and of course it had to be something as shit as renal failure. His creatinine levels are 1200 or 13,57, almost ten times as high as it should be.
The vet gave us prescriptions on special food and some medicine to help take a load off the kidneys, but I think that it's pretty certain he won't live out the weekend. I feel so incredibly helpless and I have no idea what to do. He seems okay, just so very tired and not very responsive. Last weekend I was walking outside with him and he was walking with his tail straight up and purring. Now he's just lying here with his eyes half closed.
I hate this feeling and I don't know what to do for him. Part of me wants to hope he can live some more months but I know that it won't happen.
Have any of you experienced the same in a cat? What was his or her creatinine levels, and how did it go?
Really need someone to chime in because I feel like the worst ever not being able to help my friend and housemate since 2007.

Is there really nothing else you can do?

>>2241787
From the sound of it he has lost over 90% of his kidney function. Kidney can't be rebuilt in any way and they won't get better with treatment. Can only try to keep it from failing more and to have him eat only food which doesn't strain the kidneys.
>>
>>2241787
kidney failure in humans results in dialysis for the rest of your life 3 times a week. Its not any way to live.
