    Wow, you’re quick. Also up pretty late (or early) in my timezone.

    Most of my close-up experience with birds has been from the aforementioned friend’s mom (she had several, not just Ricky) and most of that experience was being terrorized, puked on, or both. Despite that, they do seem like clever and interesting animals. Still, even if I didn’t have cats (I still have the same two from that story, though they’re getting old now), I don’t think I could have them as pets.

      Hah, It’s 10 AM here and I have nothing better to do anyway.

      But yeah, that was the point of my original comment - birds definitely aren’t a pet for everyone, and it’s okay to acknowledge that!

      I do like cats too, though, give yours some pats (or whatever their preferred gesture of affection is) from me.

        At the time, it was 4am for me.

        Absolutely, I’ll make sure my cats know of your affection!
