July 13, 2025Jul 13 Has anyone ever owned a bird? Aren't birds supposed to be in cages or they fly away? There's a woman down the street. She keeps this bird, but it just roams freely. No cage. Most of time, when I walk by the shop, the bird is walking around the shop, usually near it's owner. Sometimes I've seen the bird on the woman's shoulder or arm. The shop is open and the bird is free to fly away, but doesn't. So birds are smart enough to know who their owners are like cats and dogs? So why do people back home keep them in cages? Did she train it?

Obviously since I seen it with my own eyes. It's like a dog following it's owner around. Interesting. I underestimated and misunderstood birds, I guess.

July 13, 2025Jul 13 Some types of wild birds will stick around if hand-raised by humans. Other types will not.

Absolutely, I had a Love bird many years ago, used to free fly it outside, was hand reared, the reward for it was always food, it used to like a shower as well!

July 13, 2025Jul 13 There's a parrot club in Pattaya. Beautiful birds which roam freely before returning to their owners a Thai & Farang couple; plus some others. The birds you see in cages you are supposed to buy to release to improve your karma.
July 13, 2025Jul 13 Obviously ownership of all pets is a very subjective thing, but I've never understood the idea of keeping a bird. Not only are they filthy, but the noise that they make is ungodly, and I don't know why somebody would want the peace and harmony of their home interrupted by a creature like that. But then again there are a lot of things these days that seem to be above my head. Ha!

Heck, I just bought a bird part and swallowed it, will be its owner until it gets deposited in the commode. 7 hours ago, save the frogs said: Aren't birds supposed to be in cages or they fly away? Not if they’re stored in a freezer or chopped up sitting on grill or on a plate.

Does it poop inside the house or go outside to poop and pee? She just walks around the house (I feel sorry for her feet on the flat floor) but often climbs stuff like chairs. There's no weight at all to her and she couldn't damage any furniture with her claws, although her beak being attracted to the already-cracked screen on my phone caused me to have to buy a new one. She poos on the floor, but it's not much.

July 13, 2025Jul 13 I have myna birds that keep coming on my balcony and chirping for food and of course cra ping, i reckon they confuse my balcony with the annoying feeder, so there's a good chance if you had a bird in the condo and it flew outside it may not find it's way back
July 16, 2025Jul 16 I imagine once you start feeding a bird and get its trust it will hang around for the easy meals. Now if I could just get rid of the 20 pigeons living on my roof.... what a mess.
July 16, 2025Jul 16 Popular Post When I was a kid I kept pigeons .They always came back to roost in their pen at night and for food and to hang out with me .They would often fly along with me when I was riding my bike swooping around me.It was a ll very cool for a 12 yr old
