What I learned from my very own experience is that it doesn’t matter what animal you take in; your duty as a pet owner is to be responsible and to make sure you can take proper care of it. Before making this step, you should learn everything about the creature you want in your home. You might think that a bird or a fish doesn’t need much attention and this can be true because they are indeed more independent than other animals, but this doesn’t mean you adopt it and forget about its existence.
