How many of you guys have odd exotic pets? I'm trying to prove that the things I keep aren't the weirdest on the planet.

Anyone?

...Anyone?

What do you count as weird or exotic?? I had an Ocelot for 10 years as a free range family pet, had a pretty large collection of freeflying Raptors, Eagle, Vultures, and Hawks etc ,have hand raised siberian tigers, lions, orangs , a baby mountain gorilla, chimps, bonobos at home, oops even had a european brown bear cub at home for 9 months, so I think I have had a few exotics the weirdest by far was my second wife who did not like animals Nignoy

I've had crocodiles, marmosets, squirrel monkeys, sugar gliders, chameleons, cockatoos, loads of dogs, etc.

Now I have marine fish, three dogs, six hedgehogs, a degu, a pacman frog, discus fish, and a sun conure.

Why would you want to feed those noisy b/tards? I couldn't stand the shriek they would make every morning.

Now that I have retired and given up my parrot breeding facility, we get great enjoyment and good photo opportunities at our feedingstation in the garden.it is a good way of encouraging contact with our local wildlife Nignoy

Lovely! What do you feed and how? Did you make a special plateau high above the ground or the like?

Are you going to try to train the local wildlife?

I knew an Icelandic gentleman (now deceased) when I lived in Vientiane who had something he called a leopard. He used to let it out at night and within months there wasn't a soi dog for miles. Then one night it never came home; must be decorating the floor somewhere.

Freshcut softwoods and palms, kernels and seeds for Galahs and 2 types of cockatoos, .

Nope, not going to train any wildlife, have trained wildlife rangers to handle wedgetails and Ospreys, there are not many trained falconers in australia Nignoy

Never been really close to such big birds. They are amazingly beautiful.
