@Akayaofthemoon Yeah I like snakes quite a lot as well, but I'd have trouble feeding them. Honestly I would have trouble feeding any animal that needs to be fed other live animals, as much of a hypocrite as that makes me considering I eat meat.

@Loony Hm, this guy's parrot didn't seem to be too uncomfortable around the snake... and honestly it might not have been a python, it might have just been a boa constrictor. All my 9-year-old brain could process at the time was "giant snake!" but it might have not even actually been that big XD. I do love snakes though, they're such huggy animals if you treat them right. Oh, and I know it's stupid of me to keep mentioning Florida but if you like lizards you'd probably like it there quite a lot, brown anoles are about as common as bugs there and you can almost always see them scurrying about.

Also that's great to hear about your doctor visit, I really hope everything goes well for you!

@Kronshi I'm glad!

Also also you guys what about equines? I think my sister's obsession with them is sort of getting passed on to me, we're semi planning getting a farm someday when we have enough money, but I told her I'd only be into it if it could be in Oregon.

@Kronshi Also since you're here I wanted to ask if you thought the Bloodstone parts in our recent post were good? I was given the duty of writing for him so I hope I did him justice.

@Loony Hahaha I was just kidding but okay! XD. The guy who was doing it had a bunch of other animals too, I think that helped him stand out. If you're serious maybe you should also look into getting a python and a big iguana. Also bye, I hope your trip goes well!

@rocketrobie2 That's fine. I know at least Akaya has a post coming up so hopefully that will help.

@2b3heart Great!

@Eodwyn Aether It's okay, I know life gets in the way sometimes. I'm glad you're still here!

@Raijinslayer You could just have him show up at the temples if you want.

@Gisk That's understandable, I'm glad you're still here.

@The Kraken Yeah sorry about that, I wasn't sure exactly how to interact with him myself. I assume as more time passes he'll just head to the temple?

@Loony It sounds like you missed a great business opportunity, you could have moved to some tourist-heavy area and told them they could have a picture with your super rare tropical bird! Hmm, I was only like 9 at the time so I only vaguely remember what this bird looked like and can't really say if it was healthy. I at least don't remember it being restrained or anything so I'm assuming it was sticking around because it knew better than to leave its owner. You do bring up a good point about the bird being outside though. I don't remember what it looked like that well but I'm pretty positive if was some sort of parrot, it was definitely a larger bird and colorful, although I can't remember exactly what colors. So, at least an island in Florida probably wasn't too different from the climate it was used to? I'm pretty sure this was in Key West, so a pretty small town but relatively big considering how much nothing there is surrounding it. The large crowds and traffic may have bothered the bird, but the only other animals nearby were smaller birds and tiny lizards.

@Loony Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what they were. Also I just remembered this other thing in Florida from my childhood. There's this guy there who just sits in the street with a bunch of animals during the day, and you can pay him to put a bird on your head and take your picture with it. It was really fun but looking back on it I really hope he wasn't abusing that bird. Do you think that one would be willing to pose for photos if you trained it well enough?

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Loony Haha that could also be why. It's funny you should mention that African Greys are also known to be good talkers because that one was also known to greet customers, which probably led to some irritating situations for employees because kids would always want to say hello back. There was also one of those beautiful red parrots that you see in drawings of rainforests.

Yo, I decided to go ahead and mention everyone since it's been a while since anyone has done anything and some of you haven't really posted at all yet. If you aren't interested anymore it's fine to say so, but I'd like to know where everyone stands.

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Loony I'll take your word for it then :p. Also that reminds me, there was an African Grey parrot there too, that was the bird we weren't allowed to be loud around, I guess because they were old? Also I did some quick Googling and going from memory, the toucan they had looked the most similar to a keel-billed toucan. And yeah it was probably a preventative measure or they just thought he wouldn't want to be touched all day.

@Akayaofthemoon Yeah but then I'd feel rude. I guess I should though.
