animals are cool, kind, and reliable ---- tell us your good experiences

 Falconry sounds really interesting and exciting.

My daughter does falconry - it's breeding season - she has over 20 hungry chicks to feed - and soon to be training another Labrador gun-dog.

Well I just looked up prices and after the heart attack I think I will find a different hobby.

i was thrown by a horse and was knocked unconscious on the road. When i came around i swear the horse was laughing. never got on one again.  I bought a motorcycle instead.

so be careful. i like them as they are,,, not with me on top of them lol

Now I want to look up horse riding!

my mum rescued a seagull when i was young. He was too weak to fly. I put him in with my rabbit and guineas pigs . They got on fine.  And walked around the garden together.  He/she stuffed himself with easy food for a months then one day he simply took off.  byeeeeeeeeeeeeee  

Yeah I think they're protected birds in this country, most people I've seen who have them as pets rescued them and in that case it's allowed, but I think the only other way you could legally own one in the UK is by buying American crows which have been raised in captivity. 

Minah Birds are also very cool, they're known for talking a lot but crows and ravens talk too, my Grandmother actually had a M. Bird but it was before I was born, would have loved that though, I've found they're quite difficult to find these days 

that was amazing !

horses love that,,,,,  i used to stand in a field at night a Thoroughbred would come and put her nose on my shoulder and just relax. I found her so calming.

I have always been a solid animal lover. When I was a child (elementary aged), my best friend was a horse named Jerry. I had a very hard time making friends with kids my age, but had no problems connecting to this horse. He wasn't even ours, he lived down the road from us. But I would go down everyday, sometimes multiple times per day, to visit him. I would go inside his fence, and we would just walk around together and I would talk to him. I don't remember what we talked about, but I do remember that he was the only one I could talk to. (In hindsight, I can only imagine what his owners thought of me!)

Since that time I have almost always had pets. Right now we have 3 cats and 2 dogs. I feel such a connection with them, one that I just don't feel naturally with people (with the exception of my children). 

yea  cute as hell

yes goats are really tough animals and pigmies are just so cute their coats can be just so beautiful 

I love when I see baby goats hoping and jumping it's so cute 

Hahah I can imagine that would if mine did that I would end up dead he's a mastiff

I have 2 pet pygmy goats and they’re so friendly they always make me smile. They are very smart and mischievous and I love watching them problem solve from the kitchen window

my shitz tsu would sit on my face.  That gets u out of bed real fast lol

Best part of my day is seeing my dogs in the morning when I wake up and even though one of them sleeps in my room all night he is so happy to see me in the morning when he wakes up.

no surely not  ! there are corvid owners online ( youtube )    are u sure its not legal to own a crow --- my,,,, that is news to me. Yes i would love a pet Magpie ! 

Same, even in my darkest times my cats made me feel genuinely happy, I'm so grateful for them. 

I'm an animal lover in general but I have a particular fondness for corvids, crows, ravens etc. I think they're fascinating animals, it's not legal to own them in the UK unfortunately, unless it's the bird's choice, for example those saved from injury by people often become attached to them. They also remember faces, who is friendly and who is not, and communicate this to each other. They are also very adept at using tools, there are somd great videos of them doing this on Youtube. 

I'm also a massive fan of The Crow franchise, that's actually what spawned my interest in them :p
