hahahaha, you'd need, like, a full-grown Douglas fir for at least some of your parrots. ;) Parrots + tree is a little "done", but I never get tired of it.
Aaaah, Bengals. I find the best way to deal with Tiger is to just not think of him as a cat. He's something else; he can be more or less figured out, but domestic cat, he ain't. He is persistent, attitudinous, intelligent, and aloof. He has weird quirks, like enjoying the vaccum cleaner (!), grinding his teeth when annoyed, and demanding human food (which he is never given when he does this, but he still tries). His claws are longer, sharper and grow faster than any domestic's. He rarely wnats physical affection, but will make a point of me noticing that he is in the same room with me, and when I am sick or have been gone awhile, he nuzzles me in a businesslike way and purrs.
He's the only one I've ever had, so I can't speak for the breed entirely, but they are odd little not-cats. I know that many are more 'touchy feely' types than he is, and of course all cats are individual and quirky. He's a royal pain in the ass and I don't think I'm up to keeping two at once. (I considered this briefly, before making the decision to take Nocturne...I figured that if I was making the decision to have three cats, I needed to consider all of my options, and another bengal or a savanna is tempting). I plan on having at least one from now on, though. They are just so neat, and so very beautiful.
