Just three cats and lots of fish.

I can't have any small furies (bar caged ones) or birds because of the dogs, but I get my fix at work.

I dont have any other pets currently but my Mum has 2 birds. A red rump parakeet called Oz and an ear splittingly loud cockatiel called Ellie.

Not sure if I would have any other pets TBH if I could. I've had plenty in the past, more recently I just kept mice, but I dont think I can be bothered anymore with all the cleaning out that rodents require.

There are certain animals I couldnt have like rabbits or guinea pigs, chickens/ducks etc because the dogs would kill them first chance they got.

I'm not a strong believer in caged birds neither, plus they're too noisy!

Apart from our Greyhound Kyiro we have 2 guinea pigs, Gypsy and Tallulah who live in a huge indoor area. One is diabetic and suffers bladder problems and the other is Blind, and has heart problems and the medication has now also caused her bladder problems too.
We also have a Hamster who my daughter rescued when he was thrown in a bin at college. He is called Binty.

Same. I am totally envious of those who keep chickens with dogs sucessfully. I'd love to have some but I couldn't risk the dogs killing them.

Parrots don't spend all their time in the cage if they are well looked after, mine have ropes strung around the conservatory above head height and spend quite a lot of time doing gymnastics on the ropes, when they're not sitting on my shoulder. Their cage is also 6 foot wide x 6 foot 6 high and 3foot deep so they have quite a large space to move around in. They choose to go back in the cage when they've had enough of being out and about. They aren't particularly noisy either they talk at about the same volume as we do and have an enormous vocabulary which is highly entertaining. It does take a bit of time to clean them out properly though but that usually depends on what they've been eating, given pomegranate it looks like there's been a mass murder with the juice everywhere

I have three dogs (until very recently I had four and I can't quite get my head around saying three ) - Two german shepherds (Flame and Yogi) and border collie (Rip).

Hubby has Bill, Eve, Fly, Craig (working sheepdogs) and Jake, Tweed, Nap and Mist (apprentice sheepdogs!).

We also have 7 hens and 1 cockerel, a Highland pony, a Shetland pony, 14 Highland cows, 5 alpaca, a tank of tropical fish and roughly 1500 sheep
