Pets

[lupehernandezdepedajack]

Most people have pets and they become a family member and are loved very much. After a couple of decades with no pets I have all of a sudden found myself surrounded by them. In our case it's birds we have a patagonian conure which is a kind of big and a good talker.we have Quaker parrot is very animated and people oriented which I understand is not normal we have a white capped pionus which is mean and will bite the hell out of you. We also have a Blue Jay ( my favorite) that can not fly and would have died 7 years ago if mrs H. Had not nursed it back in addition we have a Nanday Conure which has adopted me as it's pet human. Birds require a lot of attention and tolerance but will give you a lot in return. I urge every pet owner not to neglect their pets even if it is snake or a lizard they need attention also. If you can not give the necessary attention I urge you to find a GOOD home that will give the attention required. I would like to get rid of our Pionus but I doubt we could find someone that would care for it adequately for that reason we tolerate and care for it. Who woulda thought a right leaning person urging tolerance

I have a dog and a very needy parrot, Yellow Nape, that I've had for 29 years.

Dog is needy too, but then so am I

Parrots are cool and capable of more affection than you would expect. Busted up non flying Blujays appreciate what you do for them also

I find that most creatures respond well to kindness, humans being the exception to that rule in some cases.

That may mostly be the case. The Pionus we have, spent several years neglected and isolated it is now really mean and doesn't warm up to people except to taste them. We rescued it and have tried to alter its behavior with no success it is blind in one eye we suspect a result of the neglect. We really don't want it but have doubts that whoever might take it would quickly lose interest and the poor thing would fall into another trap of neglect. Looks like we have her for life.

Ah, that's why we have three roosters when we only need one. Sometimes it's hard being a sucker for a hard-luck animal...
