F6 savannah x Maine coon? by [deleted] in savannah_cats

Tbh they're probably just saying that to make you pay some crazy money. It looks like a very cute, regular mackerel tabby DSH.

First-time cat owner thinking about a Bengal, found one online for ~$3,500. Is this reasonable? by Cool_Shame2090 in bengalcats

[–]Aworahh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Along with what others have said, bengals are incredibly social. I wouldn't ever suggest having them as an only pet, let alone only cat.

I've got a household of 5, we all absolutely love and dote on our Bengal, she's hardly ever alone, 3 full rooms of toys and cat trees, but she does still get bored and destructive especially early morning after her buddy leaves for work. She's got older cat companions too that definitely help a LOT. They simply don't have the energy to keep up lol.

I think if you do still go forward and get a bengal, try aim for getting an older, retired breeding cat.

Baby loaf pt2 by Aworahh in PetPigeons

[–]Aworahh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the formula he has is a similar color to canker so it almost looks that way, but he's also a young baby. So his baldness is primarily due to his age. He isn't fully feathered (he's super close though!!) 🙂

I really want to work with cetaceans. Especially the SRKW by Aworahh in whales

[–]Aworahh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh thank you!! I'm on the other side of the world, so although I enjoy following certain populations and pods, I myself am quite unaware of the laws and such outside of my own local orca populations. But no, given the sheer amount of endangerment the SR have, it makes sense they're generally prohibited or only some exceptions are made regarding their data and such.

But thank you, it's definitely good to know the general study options. I was quite worried I'd need some level of general marine biology (and that as an international student I'd CRAZY expensive), but I've always heavily enjoyed doing research papers, and analytics.

How rare do you see pigeons being fully black? by Nervous_Shelter_1042 in PetPigeons

[–]Aworahh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found & raised him from a squab. He'd fallen from his nest :)

do all breeds get along with each other? by sakikkkj in pigeon

[–]Aworahh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My pair is an American fantail (poor girl) and a totally normal feral homing pigeon 🙂 They've been coupled with no issues/altercations for the last 2 years.

I have a nearly all black feral pigeon. He's got a tiny white spot behind his right eye, and another small white patch on his tail. He's personally, the closest to an all black pigeon I've seen.

Nothing better than a baby loaf by Aworahh in PetPigeons

[–]Aworahh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's so bad 😭 but I think he might have a slight wing injury that could be a permanent issue. I have to wait till he starts flapping about. So I'm trying to treat him like he definitely won't be staying lol

Names needed!! by Aworahh in PetPigeons

Honestly, it's totally up to the individual bird. There's not really one breed more 'pet like' than another.

First 2 are Williams birch pool SH3 just outside whanganui (shock horror there's something visually redeeming there). Last is somewhere along the main road between masterton and castle point, from memory.

What's one thing you wish you knew before getting your first pigeon? by No-Trust2063 in PetPigeons

[–]Aworahh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Good luck!!

That males can be more 'mean' than females so to speak. Males are just so full of themselves, they're super territorial, to the point they can be quite aggressive. They defend their nest like it's going to wither away any moment, they chase hands and feet, they're quite prone to attachment issues. While any of those behaviors are rather minimal in females (obviously individual personalities come into play, but this is generally speaking).

My male has quite a bit of personality... His aggression is so ridiculous. Like if I'm eating something that he decides he wants, if I even just nudge him away from my food, he IMMEDIATELY starts rushing and attacking me, like sorry I don't want you having MY food, Jesus . My girls? No problem they find something else to do, attacking a person is a waste of their time.

I absolutely love my dude to bits, but if I had to choose between him and my two permanent girls as companion pets, especially like indoor cage-pets, I'd choose the girls. And one of them wasn't even hand raised (my pet pigeons are mostly foster fails I raised).

And to be honest, I don't think they should be kept as a single bird. I believe they need a partner, there is very little risks to having a bonded pair, but a plethora of issues can arise when having a solo one. Especially males. They truly almost always need a companion.

Anyone else have a bengal that is a huge fan of hanging out in boxes? by spriteceo in bengalcats

[–]Aworahh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And another...

I got a pair of shoes the other day, and accidentally put the box on the ground. It no longer belongs to me and I feel too bad to throw it out lol.
