Reminiscing On Fun Times With My Pets🌻

Hello Guys!!!

The new Ecency Discord Topic for the week is Pets and I will be talking mostly about the animals I’ve had in my life up until this point. They’re not many but I can promise you they are cute!

It’s sad that I haven’t had the opportunity to own a pet for more than 3 months. My mother doesn’t like them, even though my dad did. She likes to act all tough but we all know that she’s just scared of them, and no matter how much we’ve tried to persuade her, she hasn’t budged yet.

Some years ago though my dad bought a parrot and kept it in the house as a pet. Now nobody paid the bird any mind, and we all just ignored it while it sat in its cage outside. We would only feed it and give it water, which wasn’t as often as it should be.

Till one day I went outside and decided to give it water and a remarkable thing happened, immediately it saw the water in my hand, it ran close the little door. And as I opened the door, it rushed to the bowl and quickly dipped its head in it and drank as much as possible.

That was when I realized we hadn’t been taking proper care of the bird. From that day forward I took it upon myself to ensure that the bird was well fed and never thirsty, at all times.

From then, I grew close to it and decided to integrate into our house. So what did I do? I brought inside the house. The first time I did this, it was super alert and terrified. Any tiny movement caused it to screech. I brought it in for ten minutes every day, and subsequently the duration grew longer.

Eventually, it got used to being indoors, and then came time to bring it out of its cage. It had gotten way too comfortable being inside. I figured it wasn’t going to come out if I was there so I left it door open and placed some food a little far away from the door so it would have no option but to come out.

Then I left it alone in the house to go run an errand. By the time I got back, my plan had worked, it was outside the cage. It made me so happy. That was a milestone that made me proud of her. We practiced it more and more and eventually, little birdie got comfortable enough to be outside of her cage.

We developed this strong bond, and she could recognize and differentiate me from someone else. That felt amazing, like all my work had paid off in a way. In no time, I started carrying her around on my shoulder, like pirates do 😄.

Her favorite food was garden eggs.

She died a month after. May she rest in peace.

The second animal I got to know was a cat. The cat belonged to my cousin actually and I was blessed to form a bond with it, even though it was only for short while.

The cat was the cutest creature I had ever seen. It loved to sneak up on you and scare you. I found that hilarious, because we humans also do it. We mostly fed the cat whatever we were having for breakfast lunch and dinner.

We didn’t get to name the precious creature so we just called it cat.

These are the only animals that I have gotten to live with for a while, and it is for this reason that the moment I start living alone, I am getting myself a cat and a parrot. Although I don’t know if both these animals are compatible.

If you have any idea, please leave in the comment down below.
