Assuming time, money, living situation, and the law wasn’t a factor. I’d love a skunk. I’d name her Oreo and i’d love her and she’d be my best friend.

    i’d like a parrot or toucan if it had enough freedom. Unfortunately I don’t think you can let them fly around by themselves without them leaving you forever or becoming an invasive species. Very region dependant pet.

    Honestly gotta have cats though. They’re so much fun and they take good care of themselves. I would similarly only have a cat if i had a big garden for it

      birds are actually higher maintenance than dogs and cats, more medical costs since you would probably need a vet specializing in birds. also the more exotic the bird the higher the cost, probably cant get toucan or even most macaw species from an ethical source. because of the birds unique respiratory system they would be susceptible to whatever pollution or things you spray in the house.
