Yah...I was surprised to find out canaries come in different colors...I thought they were all yellow. They are solitary creatures so are fine while you work all day with a radio on...and as far as birds go are minimally messy. Aviery is always happy to see me. She is singing now which is rare in the females...but she had been listening to classical music for a whole year and the first time she heard electric guitar she broke into trilling. Not long after singing...cool!!!

My fish is a long liver...I have had him for almost 5 years. I antagonize him everyday...makes him put his gills up and get all tough. It makes betas live longer...so I bang on his tank everyday and sometimes I use a chopstick and give him a little whirling dervish in his tank...just to excite him. You know what men are like...they need a bit of excitment once in a while.lolol...shhh

One time I had crickets as pets...they ran all around the house and they don't eat much...they make nice cricket music...they are cheap to buy and cheap to keep. Slowly they got quieter and quieter, until finally I thought "Hmp...I haven't heard a cricket for a long time...waz up with that?" Then out from under the couch walks the biggest spider I have ever seen. The spider walked out, stopped and burped ... just before he became a splotch. I have reformed now and I have stopped squashing bugs...but for a long time in life...no bug ever lived around me.

Just let me know if I am talking to much..............
