In my next life, I will be one of these:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

How about you?

[patrice]

1. Being a bird would be so great!

Can you imagine what they see?

Maybe if I work hard enough for Kerry/Edwards, I'll be rewarded in the after-life . . . . .

[GoddessOfGuinness]

2. If we all work hard enough for Kerry/Edwards,

we'll be rewarded in about 3 weeks! :bounce:

[patrice]

3. Being an ant-eater would be great because you would be so Unique.

. . . But all of that HAIR! Maybe it's just because I'm menopausal right now, but that hair would be so hot and itchy!!!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

4. If I was an anteater,

I'd offer my services to homeowners for free.

[Tikki]

5. A Galapagos Tortoise....

[GoddessOfGuinness]

6. Good choice!

Hang out for 500 years or so in a tropical paradise. Ahhhhhh! :D

[WindRavenX]

7. gonna be one of these:

or a golden eagle:

Can't decide. I think my mind is like a raven, and my personality/heart is more like an eagle.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. I have fantasies of

having a "pet" raven...not caged or anything like that, just a trusting visitor. They're very cool birds!

[WindRavenX]

9. I think you can own ravens

You need to apply for a license and you can be approved. Ravens are one of the most intelligent birds in the world; they display individual learning patterns that only a few animals seem to do.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. I don't think I'd want to own one...

I'd just like to commune with one as a special friend......you know what I mean?

[WindRavenX]

14. oh yeah

And ravens talk, you know. They can mimic our voices better than parrots.

[NamVetsWeeLass]

18. I have haerd that you have to split their tongues.....

I don't know how true that is, but that is what I heard. And, yes you can own them, depending on your local state laws.... BTW, I love your name... I have a serious things about Crows/Ravens and birds of Prey... but yet, I am half scared of Swallows, pigeons, etc... Even funnier, You should see when my Brother in Law's Parakeet is out of it's cage.... I am a basket case.

[AlienGirl]

28. Of course not!

Ravens (and crows, jays, and starlings) can learn human speech without any surgical intervention, just like parrots can.

Some states allow corvid* ownership; others don't. Cities and counties have laws restricting animal ownership, too.

I've known captive crows; they seem more nervous than parrots. Even the ones obtained very young seemed more high-strung and prone to startling than most parrots. Also, crows and ravens seem to have an even higher need to burn off excess energy, which makes them probably unsuited to indoor cages. And the high-protein diet is tricky, though not as hard as it is with raptors.

*Corvid=crow family

[qnr]

16. Our mascot is a raven, named Poe

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. Cool!

Do you ever hang out with him?

[qnr]

20. No, all our work is done online.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

23. You could set up a Poe-cam...

I'll bet it would be a big hit!

[scarlet_owl]

10. I want to be one of these:

Eat, sleep, poop, eat, play, eat, sleep. The ferret life is the life for me!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. Heehee...

You could be Ferret Fawcett!

[flamingyouth]

12. It would be nice to crap on Republicans

Good choice! :D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. hehheh

That would be fun!

[scarlet_owl]

32. whoops. replied to the wrong one.

please delete.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

17. I would be a cat...

Er...a cat owned by a pushover schmuck like me!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. Wow! What a pic!

We used to have a cat named Quark. He was quite charming, too. :hi:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

31. I found it on some cat site and I love it!

:hi:

[neebob]

25. Eek! Mean kitty face.

Except for the facial expression - which I must say is terrifying - your cat looks similar to two of mine, except they're different colors. One is kind of gray-black-brown with green eyes; the other, cream-brown-gray with blue eyes. Both fluffy - same ruff, same stripey faces, same "white wingy-dings" in the ears. Both have white undercoats. I like to part the hair on the dark one's back so it makes a stripe and say, "Skunk le pew!"

[JohnKleeb]

22. This or this

[GoddessOfGuinness]

24. Just don't get caught

in any tuna nets, ok?

[JohnKleeb]

26. I'll do my best

[Baja Margie]

27. I would like to be a mermaid

[AlienGirl]

29. I want a vacation!

I want a few good, long decades of non-incarnate-ness, so the next time I'm incarnate I don't keep asking myself, "Why do I keep coming back here?!"

Tucker

[foxy]

30. I think I will be shot without being a bird so what does it matter?

[ulysses]

33. I always thought it would be cool

to be an otter. :)

[The Flaming Red Head]

34. I'm actually a pussy in this life
