Went for a walk around Carsington water yesterday, after 8 miles we went to the Knockerdown pub. An old Skool pal runs it. When we pulled up in the car park there is a big fat Ostrich eyeballing me. Eh, in deepest darkest Derbyshire there's an ostrich.
Anyway I asked Bronya me pal, " what's that all about". She said "its me pet Ostrich". Right, er why don't you just get a dog. She has two plus a shed load of other pets. She mentioned when they bought the pub, they registered with the RSPCA to look after animals and they said we had three Ostriches, one male and two female. Male died in transit through stress.
I asked her for a feather for grandson, she said I could have one if I fetched it myself. Am stil featherless.
So anyone else got an ostrich or any other off the cuff pet
 
Used to have a snake.................................................. but divorced her.


Seriously though, I did have an owl in my mid teens. Basically, found an injured owl. Nursed it back to health, with the aid of the local vet, then released it back into the wild, i.e. the back garden. It lived in the woods at the back of the house and in the early days would come down into the garden if I was about. The visits became less and less, eventually it stopped visiting.
 
We have got a pet tarantula, many people think that is weird! had it over 5 years now, think it is a female as they live longest but can't tell unless you look at the shed skin under a microscope. It is amazing when it sheds, it is like having 2 spiders in the tank.

I even have a spider marking on my golf balls in honour of Silky
 
We've got a house rabbit, it wasn't a house rabbit till the winter before last. We brought it in cos it was Baltic, bleeding thing won't go back out :D
