I have two dogs, two crested geckos, a leopard gecko, and a corn snake.

I've also had chickens, mice, hamsters AKA spawn of the devil, cats(now allergic), bearded dragons, dart frogs, and lots and lots of fish.
Quite a menagerie Dan. They must keep you busy.
I used to have a pet sparrow - had it for 7 years from about a day old. I reared it with 2 others.

That is quite different.
Yes it was quite a character. Used to like to sit on my shoulder under my hair or nestle into the crook of my arm and when I was eating it would often try to pinch things off my plate. I don't think it realised it was bird. The other 2 were much stronger and I released them into the trees near my house.

Oh cute. Did you eventually release that one too?

It's actually illegal to keep them as pets normally but this one was the runt and took so long to gain strength it couldn't be released.
It had an open cage which it could sit in or on with various paraphernalia to keep it happy.
Oh shame. Luckily it had you to take care of it. Don't worry about my other question you answered it in this one. Lol

No sadly it died at 7 years of age.
People were always bringing me birds they'd found.
I also reared a chaffinch and when I released that, it used to fly up to my bedroom window when it saw me or come and sit on the line when I was pegging out washing or just land on me. One of neighbours used to say I was like Snow White.

What all pets does everyone here have by the way? Just wondering.
I have my three beastly dogs.
My sulcata, Clunker.
My leopard gecko named Gecko.
And a fancy goldfish that has some kind of disease and must live a life of solitude. It's name is bubbles.

I want more critters though![emoji12]

ATM I just have about 15 different species of turtle/tortoise, six cats (strays that found me), a lovely faithful companion dog, Misty. But I used to have horses, a pot bellied pig, tropical fish, a crawdad, a flight full of brotogeris birds (orange chinned parakeet), a blue crowned conure, a couple head of cattle, chickens (both large and small), ducks - there might be more, but my old age memory won't pull them forward.
