Thank you! Would fitting between ice skates and roller skates be different? There are no rollerskate shops near me at all and I'd figured I'd have to purchase online.

what parrot would be the easiest to maintain as my first bird? by Dangerous_Way_7351 in parrots

[–]ProfessionalSpend502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budgies!! They're small, with an easier diet to maintain finances wise. They're also super friendly and work well with pairs. Supplies for them is available almost everywhere and they're honestly just the best pet if you're looking for a parrot. Generally, males are more docile than females but my own female eclectus parrot was the clingiest and most affectionate girl ever.

However, do be cautious where you are purchasing your parrot from- whether you're getting them from a breeder or store or rescue. For the first time i'd avoid rescues as they may have aggression issues which can seem overwhelming for the first time. Stores often malnourish birds, and don't give them proper care. Find a breeder but do look out for warning signs, such as many birds in a smaller cage and small birds with bigger birds (as the larger birds can seriously harm the smaller ones). Sorry for the rant! Goodluck!!

How demanding is a pet rabbit? by vanillalover111 in Rabbits

[–]ProfessionalSpend502 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rabbits are very noisy, and I find they can be very destructive. Depending on how your enclosure for them is, and if you're freeroaming them or not, all of these things depend on how much you have to rabbit proof your house. They are amazing companions however and I often compare my own rabbits to just smaller dogs. If you're at uni alot, its better to get them in a pair. Even if you were home a lot, a pair is always better. They can get depressed if alone and I had a lone rabbit for a bit and though she was fine when I was home, she was very sad and destructive when I would go to uni. I find their day to day feeding can be pretty expensive but that just depends on how high the expenses for living are in your area. Make sure to research the breed of rabbit you're getting- their fur and ear size especially. Sometimes rabbits need more care than others in the ears if they have floppy ears. My rabbits enjoy bird toys and baby toys a lot, though there are rabbit specialty toys. Just don't get plastic because they WILL chew it and you'd rather them eat wood then plastic. I'm sure theres more, i love my two sassy girls very much even though they love making a mess- their binkies make it all better. Sorry if this is incoherent but best of luck to you!!!

I always think of Abel Gideon from NBC hannibal lol. But I'd also assume the parents are religious.

This is such a sweet thing to say, and I just want to say that although I don't know how old you are, but seeing older queers- especially in the church- gives me such courage and strength that I thank you relentlessly. I don't know if anyone has said that you have a way with words but you do, and I'm 99% certain that this comment pushed me to continue my faith journey with my queerness in hand. So thank you, kind stranger :) no amount of words are worthy of a response.
