That is really true, I had chicks they were really noisy as chicks but when they grew to like three years old, They make such loud noises xD So I think you should get another type of bird something which you're cats and dogs will not be Interested in.

Then, find the original society! xD

Well, you do have garden and some space. What about having a little flock of bantams or hens? :P You will get fresh eggs from them.


B. Our horrible evil crazy neighbor lady would call the cops or something for anything not boring and normal, like pet chickens.
Whistle Walrus will club her with broccoli :D


Anyway, what are some more pets do you wish to obtain?

I would love chickens, but most likely:

A. Our dogs would eat them
B. Our horrible evil crazy neighbor lady would call the cops or something for anything not boring and normal, like pet chickens.
C. They'd freeze in the winter.
Actually the winter weather wouldn't kill them, if you got the right species (Rhode Island Reds would be best) as long as you have a little hutch with straw in it so they can get out of the snow....

My experience is that the bigger the chicken, the better they can stand cold winter circumstances. Especially the small breeds and bantams, as well as breeds with variant feathering, like silkies, are, at least in my experience, sensitive to extremely sensitive to cold temperatures, while large breeds (for example breeds originally purposed for meat production) seem far less sensitive.

Of course, a shelter with a thick layer of bedding where the chickens can get shelter from wind and precipitation would be a must. Also, you'd have to make sure they can get enough food (birds need quite a lot of food in winter, as their metabolism and body temperature are quite high) and have access to unfrozen water for at least some part of the day.

Thank you for the set, Azrael!

Yeah, again chickens just aren't for me. I'd like them eventually, not now.

@Fluffy. I'd like a ferret one day, maybe when I get my own apartment in a few years. And beyond that I'd like some outdoor birds; mandarin ducks and maybe an emu, but I need some property for them.

Maybe a corn snake. Right now though I'd just like to concentrate on my birds. If all goes well, my ratties will be going off to their new home today. They'll get a lot more attention and (if you can believe this) an even larger cage to play in with a bunch more rat friends, so they'll be in good hands.

Chicken are very easy to care for ;) They are also excellent producer, and, if you select the right breeds, aren't always noisy. They're also extremely productive.

good to see you taking that much care for your rats.
I gave one of my catfish to this man I know, and everytime we meet he always tells me how the fish is doing fine and asks for tips.

In the last week, I've adopted out my rats (all together) to a very nice family with a lot of experience who I know will provide them a wonderful home and the attention they deserve.

I also have improved the home of my finches with a new, larger cage, and a fourth bird: a male society finch I've named Errol who has quickly taken a liking to Flurry.

I love the improvements on the cage and the photos are really nice. That last shot is really cute. I'm sorry to hear about your rats. Why did you give them away?

Well, a friend-of-a-friend of the family was looking to adopt a couple of rats, and I had my three, and I kept good care of them, but they just didn't get as much as outside play time and attention as they could have used with me. So, I gave them to them - they'll be able to provide a lot more attention and playtime and such.

Oh! Wow! Such a nice improve on the finch cage! The new bird is awesome too!

Btw, how can you tell it's a male or female society? :P

Supposedly, you can't, but I've noticed males have their eyes set further back on their heads, and their head is less rounded and more wedge-shaped. I sexed Flurry and Errol at the store this way, and was correct both times; judging by how Errol sings... and engages in intercourse with his beloved. xD
