I'm getting a yellow headed parrot in a few days, it comes with a cage and food and everything, it's 14 years old and not tame. How do I tame it? How long will it live? How do I tell if it's healthy without taking it to a vet? It's a female (so the previous owners say), how much will it cost to get her DNA tested to make sure she's a she? Will she need a mate, or will she be happy without one?Please tell me everything I may need to know, and anything else you may want to share, such as personal experience or anything. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I was chaning the aquariums water, so i took both of them out and right away put them into warm water, and then they started to jump around and stuff, when I put them back in the tank of warm water they stoped moving one was flipped on its back wasnt moving at all, so I started putting in really cold water on them untill it flipped over and started to move, but then both of them where pealing off, and now they arent as active anymore they just sit there on the botton of the tank go up for some air and barely eat anymore, yestrday they ate everything I gave them now they dont. whats wrong with the?

Thanks

my dog at home is vaccined including vaccined for bordetella(kennel cough) can he still catch kennel cough if i adopt a dog from a shelter that has been in an airborne kennel cough area? most dogs we adopt out get the kennel cough after being adopted, im wondering if my dog who's already vaccined could still get it. if i adopt this dog from the shelter, right now she does not have kennel cough. and my dog at home never has had it and is vaccined. any one know about this stuff?

I have a saltwater tank and after the last fish died, I just turned the tank off. There is still water in there and the live rock is still in there. I want to start my tank up again. So do I need to throw the live rock away and buy some more or what?

Hi! I just got a cat from the shelter. She's about nine months old and she was apparently a stray. Its obvious that she wants to be let outside. Im willing to let her, but I want to know how to keep her from running away entirely. She has a collar with my information. What should I do?

I have a 3 month old female kitten, and, since most days I am usually away from home for hours, I am looking into getting another kitten, to keep each other company. I am just wondering, if I should get another female or male? I already have my eye on a 4 month old female at my local shelter. Just not sure if they will get along when they are older, or since they are still kittens, and if raised together, will be friends? What do you all think? thanks in advance!

I just wanted to know if you like dogs or cats better. I like both equally because they both have traits that the other animal does not have. What about you?

I am looking to buy a dog. I want it to be small-medium. I want a breed that doesn't look like it's supposed to be small but where the dog looks like it's permanently stuck as a puppy... Maybe a mini something? Any ideas?

Dogs are animals. As human beings we eat animals. We might not eat dogs but we do eat beef, chicken, pork, fish, and many other types of animals.
Is it not something wrong with the fact that some people care more about their dogs than they do about the homeless children on the street. Some people openly state that they would rather have a dog than a child.
Aren't children the blessing of life? Aren't animals what God gave to Adam to keep him company, busy, and occupied. Was not a human given to Adam because animals were not enough.
So, where in life have people grown to love animals more than they love their neighbors.
Think of Michael Vick. He is losing his freedom behind an animal. He killed dogs. Not people, dogs. How can Michael Vick lose his job, freedom, and respect by killing dogs and some man or officer across town gets respect for killing a person that they "thought" would harm them?
Why is the world becoming so passionate over dogs?

Does anyone what breed my cat is? Her name is Faith and she was abandoned and I found her when she was about 3 months old (that's what the vet told me). She's a yr. old this month (I decided her birthday is Oct. 6 because I like that day) She has the most amazing personality. She's lovable and has boundless energy. She's also really confident. I live next to a elderly carehome and every morning when I let her out she goes and makes her rounds over there! She's a major talker and LOVES attention. She is also insanely curious and for some reason loves water to the point where she will occasionally take showers with me. I mainly want to know because of her big ears and eyes, it's so unusual. She also is small. 7 lbs. fully grown.

She did but we laughed at her the way she was acting one time and acted embarrassed and went to hide. Now she leaves the room whenever we put it out for her. Do cats know when we're laughing at them? Will she ever like it again?
