On an evolutionary level having a pet fall asleep on you is pretty crazy, there’s so much trust there it’s like, “hey little animal don’t you know I’m an apex predator? thousands of years of domestication to make you take a nap on me” but also there’s a lot of stupidity there too, like if I play on the computer too long my cat decides to draw first blood on my feet
You’re only here because some ancient farmers let your ancestors eat the mice in their grain stores
This post is picking up notes again so here’s more of Malo being the 😜 emoji

i wish there was more talking going around about how keeping parrots as pets is a bad idea. when i got mine i did all the research, but no site i visited ever mentioned not to keep parrots, just how to take care of them, which is obiviously a good thing, but still i think people should be informed that, for the standard pet owner, keeping these birds is unethical. they are so easy to acquire too, and they are some of the most abused pets out there, it’s genuinely sad. parrots are highly intelligent, wild animals, that should only be kept by experts and zoos, to allow them to have happy lives in captivity. there are so many domesticated birds species already, with just as much personality as any parrot, but easier to look after and ethical to keep 100%. i just feel sorry for parrots man 😦
I’m adding to this because y’all gonna learn some shit about housing your pets.
Someone make more I love this new meme.
I know that huge homes are great for pets but also did it fucking occur to you that some people don’t have the room or money for those?
hey, guess what. those are all minimum requirements. actually, the person who added onto my post even made the bird cage still TOO small for those birds.
and if you dont have the money or the space for those pets, don’t fucking get the pet.
if you see someone who has a pet spider, cockroach, mantis, snail/slug, or any other insect/arachnid/invertebrate and you feel the need to say something like “i would squash it” or “pour salt on it” or literally anything else promoting violence or calling their pet disgusting, you’re a repulsive person. it doesn’t matter how you personally feel about the animal, that owner deeply cares about them and they have the same bond as you do with your dog or cat. y’all would lose your minds if someone said “step on it” under a video of a puppy, so have that same energy if its a video of a tarantula. stop belittling and advocating for harm against peoples pets!!!!!!
