they can get super old

boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew

I'm sure thousands, perhaps millions of people have done it.

But by doing it, you're supporting the industry. You're giving the shopkeeper more money to get more fish and subject them to conditions you yourself feel are inadequate.

Moral grey area really.

God I hate possums. Glad my cat beat the shit out of one that kept hanging around my yard; he hasn't shown up since.

almost

Didn't it turn out to be a chimera?

go to the shelter and see what they have there

OP here, I don't really want a shelter/rescue dog because I want a puppy without any issues

>>2076734

Then go to a shelter or rescue. They get puppies all the time.

You are a fucking horrible idiot

If I were him, I wouldn't forgive you for several years, and even then wouldn't trust you around my animals ever again AND to top it off I would tell anyone looking for a dog sitter that you're a forgetful fuck that let my animals die and I wouldn't recommend you to anyone.
You're a shitty friend.

>>2075310
You don't. You are a fucking shitty friend and should feel horrible.

are you serioulsy expecting them to do tricks?

>>2077101
>Tricks and games

I guess you could do the clam shell game where you hide a treat in one of your hands and try to make them guess which ones. other than that, not really no

Domesticated prey animals are not as bright as domesticated predator animals.

The Anther of a Gravilia flower with a lump of pollen on the end.

I usually chase after my dog when he does that.

We have lots of fun.

Bad training. Fetch has rules. Your dog doesn't know them.

>>2081121
Teach your dog 'leave it'. Look up youtube vids, he'll pick it up in less than ten minutes if you have a good treat ready, like chicken breast.

Nothing will prepare you for a cockatoo except a cockatoo. While parrots in general are a big responsibility, I would never recommend any 'cockatoo' species to anyone except cockatiels. Really, OP. Yeah theyre cute and funny in some videos but even experienced, long time parrot owners tend to avoid them because they are a huge hassle.
Senegals are a no-go if you plan on owning any other birds in the future, and they tend to be violent towards other animals as well. Some are 'ok' with it but it's not a risk you should take, and it would not be fair to force it.

Conures(particularly green cheeks, but i have known some relatively quiet sun conures) are a good 'beginner' parrot if you're looking for larger parrots in the future. While they aren't that much of a hassle, I still see them as a sort of in between when it comes to responsibility and care. You can also leave them for a few hours without them losing their fucking minds. Caiques are also great, lovely, funny guys from what I hear but I do not have personal experience with them.

Here's an example of a green cheek and just how interactive and playful they can be. While they may not look as impressive as a bigger parrot, the small/medium ones tend to be more playful like this. Ignore the weird parts where he is touching under the tail.. Do not do that.

And here is a caique having a good time.

you don't really start out with parrots, as they all live a really long time.

get a parrotlet, same personality of a parrot but the bites are tolerable and they are not loud..

birds are animals. do you mean mammals?

are you sure you're old enough to post here?

so birds are mammals? But don't mammals have fur?
Sure I'm old enough, the website made me read and accept the rules.
