Furbabies?, Non-FurBabies

Some of us have birds. I have conures and cockatiels and sometimes some of them go with me. Maybe it ought to be changed to "Fur and Feathers."

I think the section heading should be more broad yet.

After all there are pet pigs, who may well travel by rv and folks who take the horse by trailer to a spot and then go camping on horseback.


& then there are critters in the wild up for discussions and viewings online or by outing.

Let's see:

- It's nesting season downunder, even if these 'little ones' will fly next week. Peregrine Falcon Eyases in Oz

- People go on birding walks, hikes.

- Someone just might have a snake who didn't bite me story.

- Or coyote who visited our camp site story.

Some headings I know of are: criiters, animal kingdom, etc.

Thanks for the suggestions thus far, keep 'em coming!

Interestingly enough I was recently thinking that we might want to change the name of this section. There are all manner of pets so let's think of a name that will encompass them all.


Here are a few that I thought of:

Pet Talk
Animal Kingdom
Paws, Claws, Fins, & Feathers

O.K. your turn :)

Paws, Claws, Fins, & Feathers is a very catchy name, I have none of the above but I like that title.

How 'bout "Critters?"

"Critters" are what I shoot in the yard because they are a nuisance. ;)

If this section is to be a place to talk about all animals, critters is ok. & I for one would like it a place to put up a pic of a deer who happened to come in my yard, should such happen.

Or a coyote, or a fox....... or a skunk.....

ie not necessarily domestic family 'property'.

:)

Critter..... that does seem to cover pretty much all things animal.

So, what do you y'all think about something like "Critter Chat"?

Pigs & horses gots fur! They are mammals! ;)

I like "Fur & Feather", but that doesn't cover reptiles.....

How about "Non-human co-habitants"?

We can certainly remove any complication by calling it "Pets." How's that for cuttin' to the chase?

Well, I'd like to be able to put all the animals, including those I might try to shoo away with mothballs (like skunks) as they are doing in a town near me.

There must be someone else who lives where all have yards and gardens.

Pigs and horses have hair.

:)

Well if we want to cover them all then I think "Animal Kingdom" would do that. I've got a few private messages voting for that name....

A couple of them told me that they didn't really want a cutsie name for the forum. That's OK, too.

OkieCat, "Animal Kingdom" is kinda broad. Technically, that includes people (except maybe for my ex-mother-in-law), mosquitos, dung beetles, aardvarks and.... Well, you get the picture.
