Don’t see the attraction to spiders as pets, but each to their own. I came across a little boy some time ago (he was 6 yrs old, his parents are South American but he was born here), I remember him telling me he loved spiders. I’m wondering if it’s a trend or something a bit deeper? And here’s someone who allowed a manky pigeon to share her bedroom. Don’t read too much into it Blossom , we are looking after it for a local school. Small children are happy to handle creepy-crawlies in the garden and find them fascinating, but become scared of them as they get older. If children are picking up their parents fear of insects, then it will take at least a generation to change attitudes. I am doing a small part in helping them.
Lmao @ manky pigeon. If this looks like a manky pigeon to you
Pigeons are vermin in the UK carry all kinds of diseases.
So would you if you lived in unhygienic conditions. Pigeon was injured (broken wing), hence it couldn’t fly. Lived in a clean enviroment, vaccinated, well fed.
What a load of bo ll ox. There is not a vet in practice in the UK that would vaccinate & keep a pigeon with a broken wing alive.
You seem to forget I dont live in the UK. I’ll add his name and address if you want, so you can check for yourself. May I add that he did it for free too, as it’s a wild bird. Believe it or not Arc, there are some of us that care for and keep injured birds/animals.
Ohh hark at lil Ms Paranoid pants. Mind yer halo don’t slip.
