What Kind Of Pet Have You Always Wanted?

RE: What Kind Of Pet Have You Always Wanted?

MUSHROOM, MUSHROOM!

As for a pet... I always wanted a cockatoo (they're so sweet X3 ) or maybe an African Grey parrot, because those are really smart and can be trained to do and say all sorts of things. Only problem is that parrots are a lot of work to keep, and they live soooo very long... so I'll probably never have one like that.

The coolest pet would be something really intelligent.

But being more realistic... I have a doggie and couldn't ask for anything better. :3

I've always wanted my very own pet junkie.

God, Cockatoos are SO destructive. I have one, I know. African Greys are also the same. Cockatoos are social birds though, and African Greys are a single person bird, who bites anyone who isn't THEIR person.


Our Cockatoo chose me as his mate. The problem with that is when he tries to do mating dances on my head while I am asleep.

I have to let him in the bathroom while I take a shower, or he will shred the door. Then he stands on the shower ring and watches me.

When I have a sleeping bag out, he MUST be in there with me, snugging against my stomach. One time, I fell asleep with him, and he dismantled my $300 dollar watch while it was still on my wrist.

Yeah... so I have heard. African Greys are more like "novelty parrots". XD But cockatoos... I used to spend time doing nothing but hanging out with them in the pet store sometimes. They seem pretty cuddly as far as birds go, and had a really nice, indescribable feeling of of understanding somehow.

My little friend in the pet store enjoyed chewing on my glasses, though. >_> Couldn't get him away from them. I see what you mean by descructive.

Edit: Cute photo. X3 Is that not the yellow-crested kind, or is the crest just not visible in that picture?

I like how the crest flips up a little bit even when it's down.

Is this a new itteration of retarded-looking smileys?!

On a semi-related note, I would not want one as a pet, but I've always wanted to ride a giant sea turtle. And by always I mean ever since I saw the host of Reading Rainbow riding one during that show one time. But seriously, I would love to ride around through a busy city on a giant sea turtle and tip my hat to people as they passed by staring.

And as for parrots: oh hell no. Parrots creep me out, with their talking like me and such. I dunno what kind it was, but it's like the best at immitation, and we were in a pet store and one was there, and Mom was talking to it. She said something and it repeated, then Mom laughed her very original laugh and it did the exact same noise back at her, which creeped me the fuck out. I know they're just mimicking our voices and they aren't really super intelligent, but I swear it's like there's something more going on in those little bird brains of theirs...

PS: Cenright, nice pun, silly goose.

WHY IS THERE NO HORSE OPTION?!?!

[Tasselfoot]

Because you and Alain don't count.

PS - Norweigen Blue is the KING of parrots.

[whorlichan]

Because, Jursey, most of us are too poor (in both finances and available space) to take on the awesome task of caring correctly for a horse. Also, they're more like companions than pets, aren't they?

Cenright: I know there's A red panda. What I want is a MINIATURE one. Like a teacup chihuahua, only less retarded and ugly and much much cuter.

WHY IS THERE NO HORSE OPTION?!?!

Because horses are f*cking stupid.

I think a tiger would be cool. I'd be hella dangerous, but I'd look like such a bad ass. No one would mess with me. I'd be invincible.

The first thing I would do with my pet tiger would be to go to a stable full of horses and set the tiger loose. Man, me and my tiger would eat like kings for DAYS.

Hey fuck you, I got enough of that in elementary school.

Panda has horses too, and horses are the best animals and pets so you all can shove it.

Just ride a fat kid... seems like alot more fun, and their kicks don't hurt as much.

Haha, I've been using that for a while... er... I have a bad habit of emoticon abuse. I'm trying to cut down on it, I swear!!

...Hey, at least it's not ">w<". Not to say I'm not guilty of that too... er... >_>

@Jurs: Your Horse vs. My Tiger. GO GO GO.

[Tasuke]

A Chameleon. They've been known to commit suicide in the wild.
But they can shoot out the tounge real cool like, they can grab stuff
with their tail, and the can change colors slightly.

Ha ha...Tass. True.

As for me, a Penguin would be nice to have around. Name him Bob. Bob the Penguin.
