I have always loved turtles and had them but now I believe they belong in the wild if possible

Yeah, that's how I always felt about my son's lizards. It's one thing having domestic animals, but with things like lizards and turtles, I think they would probably be happier sitting on a rock sunning themselves and doing the things turtles and lizards do.

I feel kind of bad for things like canaries and parakeets in cages too. I think they would rather be flying around than sitting in a cage.

If you are referring to my comment about me bringing the turtles home; I do not keep them I set them free outside and they all have went into the woods, and some have come back every now and then. I do not want you to think I am hoarding turtles in my house! Lol [emoji12]

I hate to see birds in a cage..such a shame since they never get to be what god made them for..
After my bird I had for 15 years (he was 2 to 4 years old when I got him) passed away I will never get another one for the same reason. At least mine was able to come out of his cage.....because there are many birds that are abused and never get to come out of their cage. My parents never wanted a bird due to the same reason, but Tweety was mistreated and abused by his former owners and my parents could not say no.

I think that's great you gave him a good home and how wonderful to protect the turtles that would have died!!!
Tweety had some problems from where he was mistreated, but for some reason he trusted me and he did really well with me. He could be pretty grumpy to some people, my bf called him a little ball of hate lol, but I still loved him! :) He was so funny! He would whistle Andy Griffith amd look at himself in the mirror and say pretty over and over or pretty boy, pretty bird, and he would say "look at me" lol He also whistled at people sometimes when they would walk by. Lol

I just cannot leave the cute little turtles to get ran over. There were a few that had already been hit. It's just sad. one day I thought to myself that since I live away from the roads, there are woods surrounding me, and good water source....I may as well just take them to my house! :)

I hope when I answered about lizards and turtles, you realize I wasn't directing any comments toward you Ducky. :) I have "known" you on ECF for quite a while now, and seen how much you love and care for animals, and knew you were just moving them to a safer place.

I want to make sure you know that I admire you for all you do for your animals, and the wild things around you. (((hugs)))

Oh no, I was not trying to be mean or anything! :) I like you bunches! I am sorry if I made it sound like I was being mean :( I think I will try to edit my comment so nobody takes it the wrong way! :)
I saw that rbecky made a comment about turtles after I talked about bringing them home. I was just clearing up in case she thought I was hoarding turtles up! Lol [emoji12]

It didn't sound mean at all Ducky. :) I just felt bad that I might have hurt your feelings, and I also didn't want any new comers to the thread to think it was directed at you. Your post wasn't mean at all!

edit:I was just picturing you hoarding turtles. That's really funny!!! :lol::lol::lol:
