Just wondering if anyone has pet birds or other unusual pets?   Please tell us about them.

A couple of my neighbors have lizards in terrariums.  I was watching some Cockatoo videos and was amazed that parrots can live for over 80 years!  They are social and need human company.

To be honest I used to live in a house where birds was kept as pets. All kind of birds and I can tell you it's kind of false love. Not what people think. Of course they can get used to live in a small area but that's not what they are meant for. I felt really sorry for them. You should see them trying to fly between 4 walls or watching through the window.

I think it's just a fake love that people think keeping wild animal in captivity it's all okay. Saying that it wouldn't survive in the wilderness. Some people are obsessed with animals and they don't realise they cause more harm then good.  They can get used to the situation but birds are not meant to be kept in cage. That's my opinion.

No plus it's getting late in the wasp season, as they usually die off in winter...poor Willy.

He will take a brief visit (maybe for 1/2 hour) over to our Bouganvilla but always come right back to spend night and day on the sill.

I find that extremely unusual and interesting? Any chance there's some type of sweetener / sugar / soda or something that splattered there? Sure doesn't look like it's interested in making a wasp nest there.

But one thing we know for sure .   Willy was not born wanda and decided to become willie .    Even the bees got that figured out .    even animals .

maybe that is why Wilma put a sting ,    she don't like being called willy .

But being 'fair and open minded' I don't want to pass judgment. If Willy believes  he is Wanda today who am I to judge. 

I was just having this conversation with a lady the other day .     I was like Good thing our generations parents are not like today .

OR when I said I was a tree,  THEY would have planted me in the backyard .   I mean good night .   

Frienduffs health class  ONE o  ONE .    if you born with it ,  ITS WHAT YOU ARE .   end of discussion .

I'm not a big fan of cell phone photography, but if that is all you have at hand when a little guy like this pops his head up out of the Bougainvillea ...well.

 

You should trap him and mail him to ONE SHEEP .     OH wait one sheep has plenty around the yard .      That lil bugger looks like one happy squirrel .
