I had a friend who owned a parrot. You would walk in the room and all you could hear was "BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWK, RIAAAAWK,"

They got rid of said parrot a short while after I found out they had it. Not suggesting I had anything to do with it's removal. It was alive and well 2 years after they had sold it, so I assume it is or has had a nice life.

Personally I haven't really owned any pets besides some hermit crabs, which I never did socialize much with, due to my complete paranoia that they might pinch me, which was a mostly ungrounded fear. They were sweet little guys. Slow, lumbering but very nice shells. We had to give them to a friend when we moved away.

My sister loves dwarf hamsters which have an amazing ability to do two main things. Escape, and live twice as long as they are expected. I find them cute looking, but that is about it.

We also have a grand total of two rabbits. One which we got for a quite cheap price and always acts very insane. It chases after cats which invade it's territory, tries to kick it's way out of your grip, and if you let it run about outside, it just jumps about slowly, as if enjoying the scenery. The other we got for free, who really does not do a whole lot, but acts very calmly, no matter what you do. We also had two other ones who died very early in their life, both of which were a very expensive breed. They acted like they knew it as well. They would come out at about 6:00 in the morning, stay out for maybe two minutes, then go back inside their private areas and just sleep. Sometimes they would pop out, and if they saw us, would just go back in. They were very aristocratic. The oddest part about the two first rabbits I mentioned, is that we can keep them in the same enclosure even though they are both males, and are not even brothers, or the same breed. This is supposedly impossible or just very unlikely, according to almost everyone who is a big rabbit owner.

My dad wants to get a dog, but he does not have the time to walk it every day, so that responsibility would fall on someone else. I'd prefer a cat.
