Members should list every pet they have ever kept and rate them.

[Coursair]

Since I've had tanks since I was 12, I cannot list every fish owned. I will say they are usually small community fish. The largest I've had, have been freshwater angels and discus many years ago.

Currently I have 3 to 4 tanks running at any time. All of my tanks are nano's 10 gallons or less freshwater, planted.

Some highlights of my pet owning history.

And I screwed up, didn't realize you were rating them LOL !!

My numbers are how many I had.
My animals all rate highly. Any issues are my fault.

And lastly Falconry birds are NOT pets. They are wild predators that consent to hunt with us. Not tame, they don't love us at all.

My mom has a bird. I've been so tempted to just "accidentally let it" out.

Unless it's at proper weight and released at the right time it will die.
It is illegal to interfere with a Bird of Prey. It is a State and Federal Crime.

If she holds a license YOU'D be the criminal. If she doesn't hold a license and you believe the bird is being improperly kept, report her to fish and game.

Then it is illegal and unethical to throw a non native out to die.

Telling an animal lover that you want to kill your Mom's pet ( which is what releasing it does) makes you look bad.

I'm hoping you are kidding.

I couldn't agree anymore !!! Part of my job involves rescuing injured and distraught animals from trees, delivery to local licensed rehab centers/people, and then rehoming back to the wild. Birds, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, whatever. I've been to the same home multiple times for the same cat stuck in the same tree until they asked me to remove it. I cringe anytime I hear things like this and pray it's a sick joke. I choose animals over people all day.

I took it as a joke. That's why I'm not a bird owner. Too noisy, but way fun for short visits to the pet store

I've had lots of cows, a few horses, dogs, cats, tadpoles, fish, and that's about it. My favorite is definitely my cows
This is my show cow enjoying a snack

Cattle,

House dogs, birds and cats,

Goldfish,

Australian native fish and crayfish,

Mainly small, tropical community fish.

A rescued kangaroo for a short while.

Favourites would be the cattle and purple-spotted gudgeon fish (not quite sure I have that right, there was a lot of yellow on it).

Dog- Black Labrador part Chow. Recently euthanized because of her joint arthritis she was 14 years old
5 5 5 5 5 I loved her. I hope 5 was the highest I can't remember..

Cat- had one when I was younger. Didn't really like it. We got a new car last year her name is Lucy and she's a Maine coon. Sweetest cat I've ever known. She's a big baby.

Do I really have to list all my fish? Lol I have 54 fish 13 invertebrates and 4 frogs currently ?

All of them have probably been around a five, except that evil cat. He's probably a 2. And my fish would be a 7.
