I think I count as weird. I'm not really a dog or cat person.
This is mah bird, an African Grey parrot. I had to leave 'er behind when I started college last fall though. The apartment I'm in can't really fit the cage well and the dust they produce can get pretty thick in smaller areas.
This is my replacement pet that fits better in an apartment (for now). It's a savannah monitor lizard, docile little thing. The hat wasn't my idea, but when I'm given a mini sombrero I darn well better use it somewhere.
I didn't stop there though... at first I thought about raising my own dull white feeder mice for the monitor, but I ended up buying a few "fancy" mice of various colors. One of them had a litter of pups about two weeks ago, I can't bear to feed the little suckers when they grow up, they're sickeningly adorable:
I don't own this animal, I've just been dying to use this image somewhere:
