Talking about pets.

Talking about pets.

Hi everyone. Harry here.

I am seeing a common thread in this part of the forum and that is we all LOVE our animal friends. SO I thought it might be fun to share a little bit about our non human friends with each other. What type of animal/s we have their names, breeds any quirks they may have and what makes them so special.

Currently I have an African Love Bird (the type with the white cartoon eyes) and his name is Jasper. Jasper is three years old and is every color you can imagine. He loves to have a bath each morning and isn't shy LOL.

His eating habits are odd as he only eats seed and occasionally lettuce, but loves his cuttlebone though.

He is a constant in my life and we have some pretty kool conversations. Jasper's shrill squawk can pierce eardrums and his beak could pierce steel I'm sure (fingers and finger nails I can attest to).

He is a great source of conversation amongst the mum's, dad's and children who pass by (even the local kitty cat drops in).

His expected lifespan is around 12 years so I look forward to many more adventures with Jasper.

Harry

Wow Shaz51 cute cats and what a range of pets...

Thanks Rockolope for the fantastic advice.... you summed up my feelings really well and welcome to the forums.

Not sure about names yet..one of the benefits of fostering I'm told is that you name your foster pet so it has a name properly sorted out when it's put up for adoption.

After getting two quotes to replace the security door, I have one I think I'll go with. Quote states 4-6 weeks to install after initial inspection, but it's for a very standard design so who knows, maybe it will take less time?
