Possible.
Canaries like to be in pairs.
Never had one myself.

It is hit or miss with any bird.
Saw an Umbrella Cockatoo named Patches.
Patches was admittedly insane, and he took to only on eperson, the bird shop owner.
Patches was sold once and only once. After that, he was never on sale again. (He went into a depression and molted till he was completely bald. Patches liked me, but he was expensive, and I signalled 'play' to him.)

Patches was an interesting and quite insane bird..

Yep - she was trying to help with breakfast there.

Free eggs.

LOL LOL.. bad Loddy.. No it was not a Gerbil.. ;)

I've heard that birds have a real problem with switching owners.. They do go into depression.. So you suppose that's where the saying "Queer Bird" comes from?

[grannie9]

It was kind of sad.. She would sit on that egg until it rotted.. I finally had to pluck it out of there and throw it away..

I'd love to have a chinchilla, but I've
heard they're rather hard to take care of.
They require volcanic dust to roll in in
order to keep their fur soft, fluffy & shiny.

There were some in the pet shop in
the "local" (ha ha) mall. No-one knew
what they were. Some idiots were saying
they were rabbits & guinea pigs & such.
Those people happened to look thuggish
& I just had to laugh at them.

[Darksheare]

I suppose so, Patches liked being a store bird where he could do bad things and cause a ruckus.
Then he'd sit there and laugh amid the chaos.
Nothing worse than listening to a bird laugh.
Patches was a character.
Not sure where he is now, the bird shop closed about five years ago.

I give up. Back in the day we had poochies, kitties, and one memorable bunnie that lived with us, until Mr.Bunnie chose to get upon my dad's pillow and take a umangous(!) piss one day.

Chicken-fried rabbit is not all that bad.

Wow - big boomers moving through.

If anyone cares, check weather and 78731 for the latest.

I need to go south for the winter. I know that you do from previous posts from way back.

But, I need to make my own living while wintering over. In your location, what is the job market like for a woman who is non-skilled?

Have you ever had any experience with African Grays? They are quite the bird. They are extremely smart but some of them can also be vicious. Anyway, when I was the SPCA President and an Inspector here, we had an African Gray surrendered to the Shelter. He was quite a good bird and we were able to teach him words and phrases quite quickly. One day, a lady came in and she adopted the bird. This lady also owned a small dog of some sort, the kind of dog escapes me at the moment. However, about 2+ months after she adopted "Beaker" she came into the Shelter to tell us how it was going. She said the bird fit right in and loved the family and was good with the pets. But what she wanted to report was that she kept her little dogs basket (bed) in the kitchen corner and lots of times she would tell the dog to "go get in your basket". The dog always obeyed she said. But then one day she happened to walk into the kitchen just in time to hear Beaker abruptly address the dog and said "go get in your basket"!! She said the dog immediately got up and went straight to her basket. She said she was surpised that the bird had picked up this phrase and she was even more surprised to see how quickly the dog obey Beakers command. The scenario became a regular ritual in their household and entertained company too!!. I laughed when I heard that one. Before that African Gray came into the Shelter I never knew that they were so darn smart.
