i have a male cockitiel named Birdy and 10 tropical fish. Which include one discus, three small goldfish and the rest are tetras.
I have a female cooker spanish called "Lala" (see attach). She's sweet :smth001
But since I don't live with my parents since 2 years ago, I just see her sometimes in the weekends :cry:
Lala is adorable, dsanchez.
Here is Birdy.

This is my moggy. Goes by the name of Millhouse (or b@stard, depending on what he has recently destroyed) :-D
I rescued him from just outside where I work a couple of winters ago.
I have a little female dog, her name is Muffy!
ooh little 'Millhouse' has a bandage on his/her arm, above paw,
A visit to the vet, under aneasthetic ? Hope 'Millhouse/B@stard is okay now :) looks most content.
Would love to have a cockitel~ but my possum is very terror-torial, Even with 'yoyo' the dog who i have had longer.
They cant communicate properly~ when dog happy=wag tale ....when possum angry=wag tale
I will have to add a pic of my dog and possum- but my old computer died recently with all my pic's,
I take some soon and post here -
:smth051 This is the cutest thred EVER :D
Muffy's & Lala (cute t-shirt:) are gorgeous~ ohhhh i love this thred !!!!!
That was the day he had a blood test.
He was, well, as you would expect after a 6 foot tall hungarian had stuck a needle in your leg.
Bit p!ssed off, but he looked good with the bandage, so I had to have a picture.
The vet, however, was brutally scratched :shock::twisted:
Millhouse doesn't like the vet ;)
:D looks very happy and comfortable in pic., after a nice old 'lash out' :twisted: Most content indeed :smth023
Muffy is cute and so is Millhouse.
My parents had dogs, when I was young. They didn't like cats.
But, living on my own, I've had both. The last dog was a female German Rottweiler , named Coco. She was a sweet thing. I miss her.

:D My Fangee possum- Australian brushtail- fully grown, but spoilt alot, usually they are released but
she had a few problems, and wont go, and wouldnt survive if she did- but i love her company :D
Her cute kissable pink nose didnt show up but is so cutsie, until the full moon :smth064
and in pic shes a little frightened of bright lights~ being nocturnal
Send my dog yoyo next time, :D Iam using my computer camera- so i would have to lift him up a bit,
and would make him grumpy :twisted: . Once i upload my digi-cam I post yoyo too.
Cure Freak- my Dad has a dog like yours- female, just gorgeous and play fights, but sounds so fearse. :twisted:
yoyo is a bucket of white fuzz :lol:
:smth039 PLEASE POST MORE PETS................
I've got a cat - no images handy. He's middle-aged, a BEAST (25 lbs / 11 kg at least), pretty much silent, and pretty much owns my apartment. He has his "spots", and if I get too close to them, he'll turn on his side and kick me with his rear legs NON-STOP until I move. And he always wins that contest of wills.
He's also suffered all kinds of stupid injuries, from almost losing his tail to having his front paws smashed into bits (he jumped out a window when he was younger).
I love him to death, but when he's gone, I think I am going to birds. I hear African Grays are smart, excellent talkers, have wise-ass personalities and live a zillion years. So I can grow old with it.
alot of people get big white cockatoo's here, and the can live up to 100 or 130ish years, no exaggeration, people die and
the poor old cockie has to find another home, Sometimes they loose their feathers and old grannies have a club that knit
little woolen jumpers for them, so sweet.

Coco would bark loudly at everyone she saw. She frightened the downstars tenants, by barking at them and just went to them. She didn't bite them. But they complained and I had to give her back to the original owner.
My Phoebe (pictured), my first dog, ran away tonight. She has been gone for three or more hours now and there's little hope for her.

OMG. I remember those.
I used to work in theatre as a stage manager & at all the rehearsals, I had to collect all the bl00dy things so we could rehearse properly.
They would all be in a box beeping & getting sad & hungry.
What nutcase dreamt those things up huh?
:roll:
i had a little tank for tropical fish when i was a kid (my brother was severely allergic to animals so we couldn't get any other pets).
ever since, i've no pets and i don't want to get one. taking care of a few house plants is enough for me, i don't want/need any extra responsibilities in a form of any living creature for me to take care of and look after. otherwise i love animals but not pets, i love the wildlife. i'm happy when i sometimes spot a fox or a squirrel here - living in a city isn't the most ideal for wild animal spotting. :?
despite the city environment, there's a nature resource pretty near to where i live, almost right in the middle of the city (it's a bay area which is especially famous for bird life). sometimes i enjoy taking a walk out there. and i've spotted a few pretty rare species of birds there too over the years. but all those serious semi-professional bird-watchers gathering there with their super-fancy telescopes and satellite navigators, ready to spot every single poor little winged bastard and all ready to hop in a car any minute and drive some 500 kilometers if they just hear some RARE bird has been spotted here or there, those guys made me laugh... but well, i bet they'd think the same about some band forums so....
Carnage V ~ Yey Phoebe's gorgeous, nice back home an safe n sound :D
I've never had a 'tamagoochi'- or whever they are called, but wanted to at one time,= But i knew i would kill it for fun :twisted: Siouxsie did you do that too? you can admit it lol :smth084
God i would love to see squirels and all the foreign animals. Finland ~ wouldnt even know what animals to expect.. But looks like a beautiful country... Wish to travel more... :smth051
Ohh Cure Freak- same thing happened to me when i was renting, living close to another 'old lady' tenant, Mine was still a puppy- to my face she said he is beautiful and behind
my back.....you know the rest, (complained about him), couldnt afford to move with such short notice, and stuff all money- ByeBye puppy - really really heart breaking. :smth085
Carnage V, Phoebe is a cutie.
ROGUE, it was very heartbreaking. :cry:

God i would love to see squirels and all the foreign animals. Finland ~ wouldnt even know what animals to expect..
well a common idea of finland seems to be that we have reindeers everywhere: i've had tourists asking me in the center of helsinki "where are the reindeers?" - heyy ok you have to go to the far northern regions like 900 kilometers up north for that... what comes to southern finland it is pretty much like most of europe, not much different. the only thing is that unlike most (central) european countries, we still do have brown bears, lynx, wolves and wolferines.
and definitely no polar bears around here hehe. i've heard some tourists ask for those too. :roll:
anyway, i suppose australian fauna would be just as exotic and strange to me - i'd love to see a koala or a possum once. but please don't tell me to go to the zoo, one place i absolutely hate are zoos. i can't visit any because they make me so sad.
Ohh wow, sounds beautiful wolferines, lynx wow !! and brown bears so cute, I have seen photos of cats chasing bears up trees, And the proud house cat standing below the tree all puffed up and impressed with himself.
Yeh i hate zoo's too, mostly sad, seeing animals stalking in circles,. Even i wanted to mention in another thred, about SeaWorld in Qld- The dolphins are the favourites, but the poor penguins were sadly neglected,(early this year) not being as popular- I was very concerned to see them look so unhappy,- 2months later when i got home to Victoria, i heard on the news that those penguins died, due to poison from the ground/grit- rock like stuff- would have been artificial to have killed them, slowly. But ohh i suffered alot of guilt not saying anything,
although noone would have listened anyway- 'They know better sort of attitude', but still felt so much for those penguins.
I didnt want to mention it earlier here, as SeaWorld do alot of good rescue work :smth023 Everyone makes mistakes i suppose, so sad though, for the sweet little penguins- In penguin heaven now:smth059
AND I JUST WANTED TO POST MY LITTLE FANGEE AGAIN. :smth060
I hate zooz, also. I hate seing animals in cages or in enclosed enviroment.
I simply, love Australian wildlife. Especially the birds. My boyfriend took some photos of a couple of species, from his yard, the other day. Here are the photos.

and brown bears so cute, I have seen photos of cats chasing bears up trees,
well i'm not exactly sure if the bears are really "cute", you know they are really big ones and can be dangerous. they can kill people if they want to. it has happened at least once during recent years, a guy went jogging and he was attacked and killed by a big brown bear. so it would take some house cat to chase one of those into a tree... huh i'd like to see that cat - it would have to be some huge mutant cat or something. creepy...
(poor penguins :?)
Magpie's (Aussie native bird) can take an eye out, or slash your head open in breading season, the males swoop down,(protecting nest) with their beaks big and strong, aim, and scoop as much of you head and/or eye as possible, Alot of people have lost an eye to a Magpie attacks. Best defense is to wave a stick with leaves.
Love the pics of Rosella's- have some residents here, and the laughing kookaburra can be heard where i live aswell. Nice pics thank you,
Cure Freak wondered where your Robert went, Love the new one.... Robert often reminds me of a caged and dangerous animal, but sexy~ in his own cage, like awaiting the onset
of the full moon. werewolf, changes ~ yum :smth079
japanesebaby- :smth006 Second thoughts- Iam sure it was a young american bear, but i have a newspaper clip of it, i try find it. Are brown bears alot bigger ?
But like bears, still think them cutsie, but probably wouldnt try to cuddle a brown bear, just admire from affar, very far....
like magpies, some larger owl species are known to take eys out of people during breeding season. i think the great gray owl is the most notorious. they can really cause severe facial/head injuries, with those claws they have. another thing is that you absolutely can't hear the owl coming because even though they are big, they fly completely silently. i've seen a big eagle owl from close range a few times and it's really amazing, how it's just completely silent when it flies! every other bird that big does cause lots of flapping noises. anyway, the owl attacks are bad because they take you completely by surprise so you don't have time to duck or cover yourself.

the incident that i was referring to happened here, so it was european brown bear, not american. european brown bears are not as huge as the american grizzly bears.
"pretty close" kind of things like this one do happen a few times a year i think:

ps. i found this rather nice site with photos of finnish wildlife (some foreign wildlife pics there too though):
http://homepage.mac.com/lsippu/PhotoAlbum7.html
this would actually be the best site for finnish nature photos, but the site seems to be offline now:

We have nocturnal owls, but non agressive like that, towards people. Amazing i have never heard of any owls like that. We have a 'screeching owl' here that makes a scream/screech noise during flight which is a blood curdling noise, and also in silent flight- but the scream frightens any little animals, and then they catch them with their claws. I heard it one night and thought it was a crazy woman screaming, and going mad- very very spookey noise !
Love the homepage you posted, i have bookmarked that one :smth024 - Love Red Squirrels-so cute, Wolverine (looks like bear relative), Otter-always love them so busy and playful. Moose's look so passive, when i have seen them on t.v. Racoon dogs are cute too, And Lynx just magik looking. Mink are so beautiful, hope they are protected species now.
That lady that survived the brown bear attack was very lucky, especially that the female bear had a pup- Wow very lucky kick to the snout.
Thanx Japanesebaby~ I will enjoy looking at these pictures again, and all these animals are in Finland ? Beautiful :smth051
EVERYONE PLEASE POST YOUR PETS, IF YOU HAVENT, :smth006 WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE CONTENT LITTLE/BIG SPOILT FRIENDS

Your welcome. I may post pics of my BF's two terriers. They are so cute.

their burrows- Very cute to see them :D And also a koala at Phillip Island pic, couple of my favourite residents of the Island.

A terrier is a small dog. Yes, it is. The dog and my BF's sculpture vase.
I love it too. So sexy.
Thanks for the lovel pics. Koalas are so cute.
PLEASE POST YOUR CATS AND DOGS, AND BIRDS AND FISH, MUST BE SOME MORE- sooky lala- I wanna see more cute house animals, Please !! :smth069
p.s. yes really love those sculptures, Would love to do that 8)
Koalas are now an endangered species. :cry:
I know they are protected species, and have trouble with a disease, But i dont think they are endangered, yet.!! Yet, sad I know, yet. hmm
Alot died and got burnt during the last bush fires in Victoria, i did some work helping out, the burn injuries, etc. But there is still alot around, even some where i live, Brought over from Phillip island 100 years ago, and still are spotted, in a protected area, within suburbia aswell -so thats nice.
p.s. in N.S.W & QLD they are registered as 'vulnerable' species, but not in Victoria, As far as i know..but things may have changed state to state, etc.
Although are protected throughout Australia.
Koala's are a protected species, many in Victoria. But in other parts of Australia more vulnerable.
Sad ~the same thing- the world over, Ripping down trees, etc etc.
So who's the vermin....Rats or ?

He does afantastic job Has quite a large number of them.
And it's ashame about the koalas.
Wanted to post another larger Koala. After-all yesterday I resisted talking about animals at all- which is hard for me.
So i thought this guy was extra cute. :D
*edit- but looks a bit strange, like its over exposed or photo-shop'd, but after enlarging it several times, and by the eyes, i think its a real pic, and apparently he is not albino, just white- I suppose a rarity that wouldnt have survived in nature.
Anyway sweet still, but i think they all cutsie. :roll:
Like the parent of an ugly child - i see only beauty.
I haven't had a pet since Simon Gallup, Jr. died. He was a blue parakeet--who thought he was a BANSHEE!! I swear. He'd squak with all his might around 6am. And then when I told him "Slimey Honey, I hear ya...shut up." He ruffle his feathers and turn his back to me! The little dip had an attitude problem as well. Ah, but he was good. He LOVED Fools Dance, but not sure what he thought of The Cure. I'd play him Cure songs but, he never seem interested. Altho once in a while when I played a song he'd run under the bed..... :?

Sorry about yoor parakeet. He soundred like an interesting and cute bird. And it is had to get another pet after one dies. My parents had parakeets, when I was growing up. Speaking of Cure song, Birdy like Love Cats. He will whistle to it or give a little squeak.
I love seeing birds sing or enjoy music, The big cockatoo's dance to music sometimes - or just out of excitement, bob their head up and down and do cute things. :lol:
I sing to Fangee - an old 'Seekers' "song, rock n rollen rider, out by the bay," a soft song she loves, yes she like pretty hippy lite music with no bass, she loves - so she mostly misses out :cry: but sometimes on t.v. she sort of smiles and does this happiness expression when a soft song is on.

I used to have budgies when i was a teenager, but one was really sweet, got kicked out of the nest, So i played mummy again, And he was gorgeous- Little burty, there nice arent they, when they smooch and put their heads on the side, and you tickle the feathers under their eyes.
Birdy looks so nice, Is she really affectionate like that ? I bet she is, thats nice. :smth051 to see happy "Birdy" :D

I had biudgies when I was groing up & into adulthood. I loved my birdies.. but I have a cat now too, and he would definately see any bird as dinner!! I love my cat, but I would like to get a cockatiel someday ... they are soo smart ! :-D

Wow birds are the only pet i never had really...
I have a little poodle called Miss polly and a really fat old cat called Toastie hehe
