I really want a pet bird, but my mom hates pets, so I figured I'd just wait the year and a half until I'm off to college to get one (provided I can find a pet-compatible place to stay and all that). Anyway, here's my question (actually I have two).

Reading around here, I see a lot of people talking about how their birds watch TV with them and talk with them and stuff. Is that really true? They just sit there and watch TV with you, or watch you while your on the computer? Maybe it seems a little strange to someone who doesn't have pets, I dunno.

Also, I took my little cousin to the pet store and saw this bird that was pretty much all red (more of a scarlet), but had a few purple spots. No, it wasn't a parrot, but it looked really cool and I wanted to know what kind it was. It was a medium-sized bird, bigger than cokatoos but smaller than those big parrots. Anyway know what that was?

Also, last random question: can you pet birds? The ones at the pet store just bit me.

I just had my second birthing of swordtails in my tank. The first time I counted 22. All were lost to predation. I got a nursery now and caught all I saw. ( 9 ) I want to know how old the fry need to be before I release them into the tank. I don't want them to be an appetizer for the others.

We have a puppy who is half chihuahua and ****-tzu, he's a little boy. However, we were thinking about buying a full blood ****-tzu little girl, so we could breed them later. What are the pros and cons of having both female and male, and can they be in the same room all the time or what?

But am really confused if shoulder measurement what AKC says is at shoulders or can be taken at the withers?
I was really surprised to see the named aprts of the dog in this book, to discover that i was all these months measuring my 11 month old dane at the withers and he is SHORT if it is not at withers and at shoudlers. Please guide me.
This is the book at amazon and you can see the parts of the dog.

We've now had mice for many months, mainly in the kitchen but also in bedroom.

We have 2 pet bunnies that are free to roam through the house. My friend tried in her house an alarm that humans can't hear but mice can, which worked for her but I cannot use here because the rabbits would hear it.

I cannot get a cat, also because of the bunnies- my vet advised against it.

I do not want to use traps, I think they're terribly cruel. I've tried the box kind where you let them out, but they have been ignored.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I had 2 pups in my home that got parvo and died before their vaccines took effect. I now have another pup - 7 wks. old - that has had his 1 st shots and is only kept in areas that have been thoroughly bleached. I need to know how to kill the virus on my forrest green carpets so that my new pup can rome once he's had all of his shots. I've been told that bleach is the only way. Color - safe bleach isn't a disinfectant, but a stain remover. HELP.

I have a 11 mth old choc lab, for the past few months she has been on Presciption dog food, her digestive sysytem was really messed up, well the vet said to slowly merge her into a new food. She used to eat Science Diet, well all I heard is that is bad, I need some good ideas on what food is the best for her and I mean the BEST!! Money is no problem, I have heard people say Blue Buffalo, Canidae, Chicken Soup, Diamond< Royal Canin, etc-- I just want to hear what other people say espically from experience. I want Sometjing as good as possible, also want her coat to stay shiny, and etc. She is my baby, and I only want the best for her. thanks for the help!!

I just found a kitten on the street that I am adopting. The kitten has a broken hip joint. As I live in Kuwait there is only one vet hospital so I can't get a second opinion. The vet said there is no need for a cast and a cast cannot do anything to it just let it heal on its own and the kitten will be able to walk normally. Currently the kitten just drags his leg behind him and sometimes can move it a little. Any advice?
