While observing Mellowmoon outside on my porch I saw the differnt ways other creatures live their life's. I own two dogs and two birds and of course my beta fish, Mellowmoon. Mellowmoon is a fish that is intimidated by his surroundings as well as my birds. But why? Why are we so terrifying to other creatures? When I get close to my birds they tend to fly to the opposite side of where I am observing them, same with Mellowmoon I can't be near him without him swimming away. I sometimes wonder if it's because we are 100 times bigger then them but my dogs didn't act that way when they were puppies.
I have two birds that I've had for about a year now and they never really seemed to want to have a family. I always thought they were mean birds because we got another bird to join them and they killed the bird by pecking his head till he was dead. This week of observation wile observing Mellowmoon outside I noticed my birds were acting a little more romantic than the usual so I went to go check on them. I noticed they had layed an egg on their food! My mom grabbed the egg to put it on their nest and unfortunately the birds didn't want their egg anymore. I guess once a human has any contact with a bird or a birds egg the other birds would disown it. That made me question if fishes are the same?
I've always wondered why some animals seem more "lovable" than others. Is it because they historically have been domesticated?
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wonder that too. I wonder why animals fear us more than we fear them, but it's vise versa. I suggest you search up why the birds do that with their egg if a human comes in contact with it.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy how you named your fish Mellowmoon, so far it seems to fit his life style pretty well. I noticed that in your blog you kept referring to Mellowmoon as a male, is there a specific way to determine the sex of beta fish? I love how you noticed the aggressiveness of your two birds, it shows that maybe not all animals are as loving and innocent as they've been characterized to be. I think it would be cool to give Mellowmoon a friend to interact with, maybe with another fish in his tank he won't be as mellow as you thought him to be.
