Why do people hate pet owls so much?

After owning an owl for over a month I can confirm they are very fun pets. Far better and easier to care for than large parrots because they are so simple minded (second smallest brain of all birds)
They aren't active birds, only poop 3-4 times a day, and have an extremely simple diet. As long as they're hand raised by you they're friendly and easy to handle. They don't suffer if you don't dote on them 24/7 like parrots and they don't need to be kept in pairs or flocks to stay happy. They don't destroy all the shit in your house and it's very easy to breed them.

Genuinely don't understand why they are seen as cruel to own when parrots are so much harder to care for.

non domesticated which is an issue, like you basically have to raise that shit around humans from baby to imprint to be viable for captivity. there's a lot of idiots who get them without knowing anything about the species too
nobody ever remembers parrots are wild animals that absolutely fucking suck as pets on three other hand. imo owls should be only ownable with a license (as it's the case in a lot of countries) and sale of parrots straight up banned

my pitchers are continuing to grow, so i don't think road salt killed my sundews, I think I just cooked them with too much light, and that the algae growth was actually detrimental to them
I have the pitchers farther away from the light, and keep plastic over the top during the day, but take it off during the night, so that moisture actually leaves the system at some point instead of constantly cycling through
and! as I just noticed writing this post! the pitcher container actually has some sundews that sprouted!! the native bog garden lives!!!!!

What would this look like, how long would it take, and how large or complex could they become?

Mammals were unable to reach non-avian dinosaur scale due to lower atmospheric oxygen, denser skeletal structures, and the energetic cost of large, metabolically expensive brains. Cephalopods possess extremely high neuronal density and a distributed nervous system, with significant cognitive capacity relative to body size, as well as no bones, so would they struggle even more to reach larger sizes?

Cephalopods would have to evolve being able to live in freshwater / swamp / brackish conditions before making any evolutionary steps. When you think about it their bodies are basically one giant heart muscle that needs constant sodium .

Without that they die or evolve far far away from that bodyplan to survive on land

Most likely so. But they'd be at war with crustaceans and insects.

Previously on /jg/ (now /jef/) >>5072037

Who is Jefrey (with one F)?

He was found abandoned in some bushes dirty and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, his capybara. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. He was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.

Jefrey suffers from mild ear-ectile dysfunction.

Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.

We will probably have to return to 14th century technology wise since we already had a perfect solution against birds.
Now what to do on the offensive side I don't know. They are too fast and agile for melee.
Guns won't work because the sound of a shot will get trapped inside your helmet and reverberate until your eardrums explode.
Maybe some sort of a slingshot will work.

>>5091685
I'm pretty sure pixies don't need to do that with indoor setups. They can aestivate/brumate but if you keep temps and moisture dialed in and consistent your pixie won't need to go into dormancy. You sure he's not just behaving normally and burying himself during the day? Throw some bugs in his enclosure to roam about and you might find a few missing the following day. Mine won't come out of his hole but if locusts are hopping around he senses it and comes out at night to eat before burying himself again.

As for size it could be down to him being a female as they top out at 5 inches, but some males can be on the smaller side too at 6 inches instead of the sterotypical 10 inches. That or you got the other species of pixie or "edible/dwarf african bullfrogs" which grow up to 5 inches for males and females despite looking similar.
