once and a while my parakeet will start flapping it's wings really fast for no apparent reason while she's in her cage. A couple of months ago my other bird did that once and it fell off the perch and died. Is my bird getting ready to die?

My friend told me unwanted/unclaimed animals in shelters along with roadkill are reprocessed into dog chow. Anyone know if this is true?

im not making this be a funny question or anything, i really want to know. the reason why is because im just starting to think that my rabbit is a little bit off the regular end. i mean im not saying that he bumps into walls or anything, he is just too out of the ordinary, which in a way is a good thing. but im so dead curious to figure out whether he is or isnt a bit disordere.

as a previous question i asked before, i mentioned how he is too layed back that is absolutely not scared of anything. i ve had him for over 2 years and since the very day i found him he has been the same. you can pick him up and hold him like a baby and he would relax all the way, it is like he is dead but he isnt. he has been like this since the day i found him, and its a good trait, right? but im curious to know...does my rabbit have to be 'disordered' to be THIS layed back, this UN normal ??

can pets be disordered?

Is there such thing as a mini hammerhead shark? Can you have a pet hammerhead shark? I know theres such thing as a mini pet sharks, but a hammerhead? And if so, where can you get one? And what's an estimate of the cost for a cage, and the shark?

Any info would be great too.

Thanks!

I have read and read all the questions and comments about the video of Steve Irwin's death being released. There seems to be a LOT of misinformation out here.

First.. the footage of the stingrays was something he was doing for the new show he and Bindi were doing called Bindi the jungle girl, and was NOT for the documentary of the oceans most deadly creatures.

Second the BULL ray That barbed him was hidden under the sand,not in plain sight. Steve was not poking a stcik at it or harrassing it and prob did not know it was there!
Third... It was not a vicious attack from the ray... as Steve swam over it it startled, barbed him and took off. It is doubtful Steve ever realized what hit him.
Fourth It was fast
The ray stung him and Steve clutched his chest , pulled the barb and he was gone.... Thats it
Its not like there is hours of documentary footage etc... It was fast, unexpected and awful
Its up to the Irwins to decide if STEVE would have wanted it released. Give it a rest.

They are starting her on sterioids and I am wondering what I should be watching out for and what I can do to comfort her. I know to keep plenty of water available and buy really healthy food for she won't eat normally. We just found out yesterday and I am hoping the medication will stabilize her. She is only 2 and sometimes she acts perfectly normal and other times she is quiet and looking tired. Any suggestions.

I am looking for a dog/puppy and I have recently fell in love with Miniature English Bulldogs. Are there any downsides of getting one? I know they are not suppose to have any of the health problems like the regular size english bulldogs, won't overheat as easily, and will live longer. Is all of this true? Are there any other problems that are an issue for this breed of dogs? Would you suggest this breed?

My kitten of 7 months and is finally getting used to roaming my house. I have had her for 5 weeks now from the shelter. She is bonded to my other kitten, but doesn't seem to like humans. Have you ever known a cat that doesn't want to be touched? She runs away from us when she looks at us, and even when we are just sitting around? Am I too impatient?
