I don't really like pets because I fear their claws would hurt me. But my best friend gave me 2 roborovski hamster and birds of different kinds. I fell in love with the robo hamster because they are playful and won't bite. One bird, an australian finch injured a leg and was unable to hop swiftly, I was able to tame her because I think every time I get near her, she can't escape me fast enough and I would always be able to hold her, until she got used to me handling her. It feels good to have a bird perching on your fingers. But they are all gone now, a cat from a neighbor massacred my pets and I felt so bad. I have learned how it is to be attached to a pet. It's sad to lose a pet but life goes on.
