We should have domesticated more birds instead of dogs or cats.

Yet, you can't legally domesticate it.
Life sucks.

There a wildlife treaty between Mexico, America, and Canads preventing the owning native birds including vultures.
I don't know how it covers old world vultures though, I have see people on YouTube with pet bearded vultures in america but I haven't looked into what qualifications or permits they might hold to do so
John Hernandez
Everyone that says it takes 1000s of years to domesticate a species is full of shit. You can get noticable results after 2-3 generations when you selectively breed for crazy traits, after 5 generations you get significant improvements over what you started with. 10 generations and you can pretty much lock in whatever crazy shit you want.
You gotta be ready to either house and feed a couple 1000 birds though with strict controls on who breeds who, and a good filter/test for whatever trait you are selecting for. Unless you are cool with killing the undesirables that saves on operating costs, pretty fucked up but genetic manipulation doesnt occur in an economic vacuum.

Cats are some of the most ruthless predators you can own. Don't let the cuteness fool you.

By domestication I mean that animal won't be treated as wild animal by law.
Because birds don't need domestication in biological/physical sense, they are fine with humans as is. Birds of prey can be trained easily, parrots are pets in many households.

Ah, that's just politics then, you can get some pretty wide reaching licenses for damn near anything if you fill out the right paperwork. Your local wildlife and fisheries department is a good place to start for local laws. Louisiana is pretty fucked, there used to be a $5 license that let you do damn near anything with any "non-game quadruped" people used that to legally make pets out of raccoons and flying squirrels and what not. They recently changed it though so that it's not available to individuals. You have to literally have some sort of fur or pelt farm now to legally own one.
My point is a political/legal issue is way sometimes surprisingly simple hurdle that is usually way more convoluted than completely altering an animals phenotype

unless you've a boner for birdies....

See Be the change you want to see faggot. Keep it bird related though

Birds don't like to be touched. Just like women when they reach menopause.
Alexander Clark
Anyway, why people who write laws usually don't know a fuck about thing they are writing about?
All environmental laws barely do a thing, wildlife protecting laws harm more often than protect, etc.

dogs domesticated passively. Less aggressive wolves would hang out around human tribes eating their scraps and breeding together to make even less aggressive wolf puppies. It only takes 10 generations to go from wolf to dog.

I eat a chicken.

Me too. Actually, I found out parrot likes chicken too, so I guess I can use it for training, when he does shit he isn't supposed to do.

Yes. Birds are cannibals. You learn quick

plus they can talk
Christopher Powell

Yes, but when I think about it I imagine bird of prey, like falcon, not fucking parrot.
Yes, some can. What is important, some can use it for communication.
My parrot sometimes pronounces commands, like turn around and shake head, and perform the command. I wonder what will happen if I train another parrot to perform such commands, will it follow commands given by first parrot?

There are dozens of pet friendly bird species. Parrots and parakeets are the best for this.
Last thing you need is a raptor as a pet tbh. They are wild and will eat your neighbors cats
Ian Wilson
>Last thing you need is a raptor as a pet tbh. They are wild and will eat your neighbors cats
Nice. Exactly what I need.
Hudson Wood
Raptors are probably more domesticated than parrots.
Parrots are 1-2 second generation from wild (except handful of species like budgies and idk, lovebirds). Raptors were bred for years. To the point they won't fuck their mates.

Macaw, cockatoo, Grey's have continuous domesticated lineages of several hundreds of years. Plus they are herbivores and don't lust after every other type of pet.
There are stories of people returning home and thier 'pet' owl is sitting on the top of the fish tank picking off hundreds of dollars worth of tropical fish.
All a bored parrot will do is tear up your curtains and bash everything off the kitchen counter

It is pretty common to find wild captured bird which is like 5 years old for some of those species. So no.
>Plus they are herbivores
This is not true. In the wild they eat not only seeds or greens, but also bugs and shit.

Dogs and cats are easier to handle and take care of than birds of prey, and they tend to express more affection.
There are chickens and ducks to work with, though. Roosters and mergansers can fuck shit up.
Eli Sanchez
Yes.
