It's a bird day! Dogs and cats make great pets, that's true, as do mice and rats, but let's not forget that parrots (and other birds) can make wonderful, affectionate and loving companions too. Some birds, especially sun conures, can get really attached to their people as well and can even be trained to do tricks! Though they're also insanely loud, but, well, birds will be birds.

By the way, that last video is absolutely worth watching if only to hear the phrase 'shagged by a rare parrot' being used in an absolute seriousness.

Here's a mimicking spider! I love these little guys, they're fun.

This one in particular is... not a snail or a small piece of poop, even though it's trying it's damndest to look like the bastard offspring of them both. Its name is cyrtarachne inaequalis, and it's really very tiny, clocking in at only about 5 to 8 millimeters long, at best. They're also really hard to spot- mostly because chances are if you walk past one, it'd look far more like a tiny juvenile snail baby than it would like a spider. These little guys are most easily spotted in Asia, particularly China and Japan, though they do also live around India.

That spider looks like some kind of alien turtle at first I was horrified and then whatever you lace these posts with kicked in and I was awwing everywhere.

The birds are so adorkable! That little guy in the third picture down in particular stole my heart. "Hi! Hi there!" -actual quote

That spider is awesome at it's job - skimming by I totally thought it was a snail!

I love how parrot colorings sometimes seem like the result of an excited kid with a new box of crayons!

I swear, kids know more than adults sometimes ;)

The bird you have labelled as a fig parrot is actually another rainbow lorikeet. Fig parrots ARE small, colourful Australian parrots, just... not the one you have pictured there ^_^;;
