Beautiful parrot, I'm sure too many societies would be happy to feed and keep them if they came around.
For the questions
• I like animals, because I find them interesting and most of them are a pleasure to look at, they give the environment a more naturally relaxing feel.
• I don't have a pet, I've never had a personal pet but at mum and dad's we've had two dogs.
• In Nigeria, my country, animals are not respected much. Pets are loved and fed and taken to the vets and all, but people mostly view animals for what value they bring to the table like dogs bring security, cats chase rats, other livestock bring meat, eggs, milk, you see? Most people here don't care about animals past the value they bring.
• Where I live (Abakaliki, Nigeria) there are a lot of toads and dangerous snakes, but these snakes never bother anyone except you go meet them in the bushes.
• Black cats and owls are considered bad luck over here. For goodluck, I can't think of any in my culture, I probably don't know since a lot of superstitious beliefs are dying.
• Lions mean strength and rulership, elephants mean size, tortoise mean cleverness, scorpions mean danger.
• The animals I feel most attracted and connected to are dogs. I love those mfs
• A man-animal relationship that has impressed me is that between cattle and the herdsmen from Northern Nigeria, the way these guys just give a command with their mouths and their large herds obey is just so impressive. Cows could surround a road and be scattered here and there but when a car is coming, the herdsman just makes a sound with his tongue and all the cows leave the road immediately! You gotta feel that.
• My best experience was with the first dog my parents bought, they didn't buy it when I was really younger, I was already about 17 when they bought it and one day I returned from the university after being away for months and the dog was just too happy to see me. For hours the dog danced around and welcomed me, I was so moved, no one had ever shown that much happiness to see me. Also it was the first time I experienced something like that because we haven't had a dog before, I didn't even know dogs could get that excited.
I wonder if my fear of snakes in the wild is irrational. I am not scared of domesticated snakes but if I saw one in the wild (even a small one) I'd be really scared.
I heard the herdsmen can make some trouble but their existence is fascinating to me.
A very unique thing in the world, and a unique relationship with animals for sure.
This is awesome. I learned a lot from dogs about how to treat people. Obviously I can’t randomly sniff their butts but I want to be playful and enjoy everyone I meet which is how dogs eat when they don’t perceive any threat.
You're right to be scared of snakes in the wild, that's where they like to attack. Many snakes come to hide in people's houses, then these people find them and kill them, I keep telling these people that these snakes didn't mean any harm, I don't know why they're hiding in your house but I know they didn't mean any harm. Snakes have never bitten any one in their homes over here but too many snakes have been found and killed in people's homes. I keep saying if these snakes meant any harm they would have done it before you found them to kill them. It's in the wild you have to be concerned about snakes.
Yeah, those herdsmen are mostly terrorists, but it's just admirable how they communicate with those cows, ai couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it.
Wow, that's cool, bro.
