Loading ...No cats here. In my book, cats are not ‘trainable’. like the old joke… ever try ‘herding cats’? 🙂
I love dogs, but have not had one in my adult life. No time nor place to care for one while working in a city. I’m glad I’m retired now and have the time to devote to the bird. Human-bonded birds need attention to maintain that flock-instinct and continue training. I have known friends who acquired a bird that they proceeded to ignore in a cage for a long time. The bird gets lonely, depressed, and downright nasty when you later decide you want to interact with it. One had a crested cockatoo that got so lonely it pulled out all of it’s feathers. It looked like a naked chicken sitting on the perch, and would do nothing but bite the nearest hand.
