Yup its a good movie and finding Dory is also a good sequel to it.

This is my parrot. And I have this since 2003 or 2004.
It speaks our language.
Love him so much [emoji173]View attachment 229798

I don't know his kind too. But its common here, many people pet it. But they are not loyal and fly away. And we call them 'Mitthu' by love. [emoji173]
Edit: and yes you are right its Rose ringed parakeet.

And this one is Sea turtle.
Bought it about 1 month ago.

But in all these 3 turtles/tortoise my favorite is Russian tortoise baby (toothless)View attachment 229800
Edit: parrot has its own worth. Cant compare him with any other. [emoji173]

A sea turtle ? It will grow very big. Can sea turtles be kept in a tank ?

 

[maplewood]

Hahaha. I don't have proper arrangement for him. I keep him with Gold fish in aquarium.
I didn't want to buy him, but I was buying helmet and I saw these beautiful creatures swimming in a small pot with Gold fish. So I bought both of them. [emoji173]
He is a baby turtle. He is about only 2 or 2.5 inches long

What are you going to do with him when he gets big? Watching a bay sea turtle nest hatch is on my bucket list!

 

[maplewood]

What nice ! "Red" found "Nemo" !

He did, I think Red thinks he has some competition lol

 

[Bee62]

Good morning, roommates!
Finally checking in properly. Daughter is back at school, and I had my yoga lesson earlier. The sun is shining. Planning to have another cup of coffee. Should probably do some work too, but as a Russian saying goes, “Work is not a wolf — it won’t run away into the woods.”

hahahahah...... In Germany we say: Work has no feet, it will not run away !

Yeah they grow very big. And No they should not. A normal rule I heard for them is if they are 1 inch long they need 1 gallon water and so on. If he will reach 8 inches length he will need 80 gallon water tank and a lot of space.

I don't know he will survive till then. They normally die here after some months cause they need lot of space for swimming. Let's see what will happen next. But atleast I give him a good surrounding and food instead of that small bowl where he was in sharing with Gold Fish [emoji19].

 

[Bee62]

And he lost his 1 leg. A long hair wrapped on his leg and he started to cut it we didn't notice. It started to bleed. When we saw his leg was bleeding very badly. Then we cut hair that can easily be cut. Then we used a piece of cloths along with medicine to cover it. After some days it dried he then cut all of his leg by his own. And since now he is one legged parrot [emoji1][emoji1][emoji22][emoji22][emoji22]

Its about 6-7 months or more ago.

He will need a one legged pirate for his owner ... We have had a one legged pirate here in the CDR but a few months ago he got lost in the darkness and was never seen again. Now the Leprechaun is his substitute.

 

[Bee62]

I’d like to show off. A year (or two?) ago I took a picture of my girl’s three generations — only hands. The place where we lived in Turkey is famous for its tangerines. A week ago I was given a gift code from a printing company to test their product. So, arriving today, is that special picture, on an aluminum sheet. I like!

Can`t you bring him back to the ocean and set him free ? Maybe you can safe the life of the little turtle.

 

[Raqib Farid]

I will release him or give it to wild life or in zoo or any other place where he can survive or can live a good happy life instead of selling him to any other person who will keep him in few inches tank. But don't want to release him in sea. Cause if he will sick that time of releasing (And here no vet is available for turtles/tortoises) than releasing him in sea side will infect all other turtles and sea creatures too. So I don't know what to do with him. Cause I can't provide him so much space for swim.

 

[Raqib Farid]

I really want to. If I go to sea side I will release him instead of keeping him in a small tank where his life is miserable. But I think if he is sick then he will infect all other creatures too. This is the only reason for not releasing him in sea/ocean. I also read about some tortoises people release them in an island then they infect all other tortoises.
And cause of them I heard of tortoise who is only 1 left to his specie and is 70 years old. Not able to breed and no female is available for him as he is only the last of his kind. [emoji26]

Hahaha[emoji1]
Yup one legged pirate.[emoji23]
Whenever I read this word it reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Love it.[emoji173][emoji7]

 

[Raqib Farid]

By the way I have all three major kinds of turtles.
That are:
Turtle who live in sea/Oceans
Terrapin who live in fresh water lake, spend some time in water and land for basking.
Tortoise who live on land.

So I have all these 3 [emoji1][emoji1]

 

[Moozillion]

And about kind I don't know. May be he belongs to Arabian Sea. Or any other. I haven't searched about him to which kind he belongs yet.

Hi, Raqib!
I'm so glad you rescued those little guys!!!!!
Yes, your thoughts are right: he belongs in the sea.
ALL the sea turtles get REALLY BIG- far bigger than any pet turtles. And he needs to be in sea water, which is salty, but it MUST be the CORRECT amount of salt.
I have never heard of anyone keeping sea turtles as pets because it is illegal to have them here in America. The reason for that is that they are endangered- there are fewer and fewer of them.
If they don't get back in the sea, they will die. They may die slowly, but they will die.

You have a good heart for wanting to rescue them!!!!

Since he is so small, he only hatched a short time ago. I doubt he has any infections because the inside of the egg is sterile.
