Nessian Week Day 4: AU
I turned Nesta and Cassian into kitties, but then got carried away and made everyone else into a kitteh too
The Valkyries got little white bows, Amren is most likely to bite, and the shadowbabies became shadowkittens 🖤

TW: animal death / animal neglect
I
wanted to draw this comic for a long time, but I never knew how to
approach this issue. In my childhood all my friends had budgies, all of
them were put aside somewhere and left alone. Treated like “annoying”
decoration. Don’t get a bird if you can’t meet its needs.
I can’t tell you how hard this is making me cry right now. Birds suffer so much heartache and cruelty just because they’re cheap, free, noisy, bitey…
I’ve picked up budgies that were placed out with the trash. I had someone tell me how they let their daughter starve they’re budgie to death and didn’t bat an eye. He was manning a dog rescue booth next to mine.
I’d give up everything I have if it meant that these amazing, beautiful, intelligent creatures didn’t have to suffer like this anymore.
This about brought me to tears
No animal deserves to be treated like this, but birds especially are an animal that often people do not realize the work that goes into caring for them.
I work and take care of birds for a living. The macaws are some of my favorites to work with. But I know I could NEVER have a bird as a pet at this point in my life because I simply don’t have the time for them, and it’s unfair to them.
Pets are for life. Don’t get a bird unless you are ready to manage the undesirable qualities that come with them, and do behaviors they are meant to naturally be doing.
I love birds. Birds are some of my favorite animals.
I would never get a pet bird, not the way I live now.
Unless you are willing to give your house, your routine, your peace and quiet to this bird, you should not get one as a pet. Parrots especially– they are too smart and restless too stay locked up in a cage.
