What other pets do you keep??

[Georgina]

Hey everyone!


I was just wondering if anyone kept any pets other than pigeons. It might be useful for members to know if someone else keeps the same pet or something (and I'm just being nosey really!! ).

Currently, I keep rabbits, a hamster and lots of small birds including...
a green cheek conure
kakarikis
canarys
zebra finchs
bengalese finchs (or society finchs!!)
mexican house finches
chinese painted quail
magpie mannikins
diamond doves
hecks finchs
red eared waxbills...

I'm sure I've missed something but I can't think what Silly me!! If anyone would like to have a look there's an album titled "non-pigeons" on my profile.

I'd love to know if any of you have any interesting pets too!!

Georgina....You need to join our NOSY member's club. Lot's of company there, myself included. Shi is the honorary President.
All of the animals/birds at my house are very interesting.
In addition to the pigeons...40 in all...
Senegal parrot
Sun Conure
3 lovely chickens
1 dog
1 cat
8 mice that are just about ready to begin the rest of their life at another location!
Other wonderful creatures arrive here, stay a while and then go to a forever home.

[Lovebirds]

Well, right now I've got about 100 or so pigeons, 3 dogs, Suzi, Gabby and Rudy and a cockatiel named Walley. There pictures of all of them in my albums.

Wow, you guys have some interesting pets other than pigeons.
In addition to my many pigeons, I have:
12 chickens (and today I found out I have some newly hatched chicks! ) of all sizes and colors
2 budgies
A diamond dove
11 ringneck doves
2 dogs - a border collie and a jack russel
A guinea that decided to leave his home up the street and move in with us
An old tomcat that spends his days sleeping on the porch rail
And a tiny courtnix quail hen. She loves to lay her eggs in the nests of my pigeons who nest near or on the floor of the aviary.

I also used to have a turkey, a rabbit, and some ringneck pheasants.

We're all a big happy 'farm' down here

[Georgina]

Wow, you guys have some fantastic sounding pets!! I'd love a bigger pet like a dog or something but I still live with my parents and they won't let me keep animals in the house. Well, except for Ivy, my conure. My mum likes her so she got away with it!

I used to have a guinea pig but I had to give him away because I was severly allergic to him.

It sounds like Maryjanes ZOO. I think you missed your calling, you should have been a zoo keeper.

Jez... I'm suddenly developing a "boring" complex...

We have Pidge & Hope (pigeons), Juliet & Noel (ringneck doves), and Mr. Weiderman & Lacey (kitties). All have albums on my profile page.

Though I suspect if Charis had her way I'd have at least a few more pijis LOL

I have had Shelties, other cats, and a horse in the past though (does that count? )

Oh, and does the corvette count as a "pet" - considering the amount of $$ we've put into it, it should be a member of the family

okay Phil - you officially gave me the whillies for the night. I'll now be feeling creepy crawly all evening... thank you

[auroraborealis]

Hello to all !

We have a nasty cat A.K.A. Catzilla that we found when she was 2 days old and have many wild birds at our feeders (blue jays, orioles, Northern cardinals,godfinches, chickadees, mourning doves, sparrows, woodpeckers,etc.). We are always trying to watch out for the neighbor's white persian chinchilla cat (easy to spot for the birds) and 5 more cats that wander in our yard including one with a bell on its collar with at night a raccoon, a skunk and a tomato loving groundhog.

We would love to have more animals but Catzilla will not share her throne !

You said the magic word, Georgina: NOSEY!!

CONGRATULATIONS! You are now a member of the NMB (Nosey Member Bunch)! I have added you to the "list!."

Phil does tend to live in a different environment than the average human.

I'm in an 660 sq. ft. apartment with 3 pigeons and 3 cats...and sometimes, an occasional rescued baby Grackle.
