Birds

[mugbull]

I've been watching lots of bird videos recently and I've decided I want one as a pet when I get settled in. We have fuckers like the cockatoo:

Or this guy:

From what I've read these guys need oodles of attention otherwise their brain will melt and they'll pick all the feathers off their body. I can't give them that kind of time, so I'm probably going to start lighter. Parakeets are doable;

They're a million times smarter than dogs (which are nice and basically attuned to human needs but also mostly retarded) at way less the effort and price. Seems like a catch tbh

Anyone here have a bird? First person to make a joke relating the animal bird to the slang for woman dies.

Used to have budgies as a kid, the cool one flew away as soon as it got the chance and then the replacement just sat there doing nothing all day. Rather than it obviously having physical issues I thought it was just a lazy bastard so would encourage it to fly in what looking back was just me throwing a budgie at a wall repeatedly.

I preferred Rodeo tbh.

When my dad was working in Pakistan a guy he worked with decided I needed a pet for when I went out to visit and bought a green parakeet. Which was fine, other than the fact that it used to try and bite chunks out of anybody who wasn't me after I came back home.

At Uni I lived in a flat above a couple with a parrot for a while. I don't recall if it was after it started imitating the house phone or passing motorbikes, but I've hated the cunts ever since.

1:20 in that second video is something else.

That man looks deeply unhappy with his life. He also sort of looks like the raven.

I'm trying to think of a pet that would be more hipster than a raven.

Anyway, Parakeet is the way forward. Quieter, not annoyingly big, eat smaller pieces of your finger/ear etc.
