I once caught a Magpie with my brother when we was walking through the woods near a river. (Vassals Park in Bristol, UK). It must have fallen out of it's nest and there was no mother around. So we picked it up, wrapped it in a t-shirt and took it home with us! We put it in a big bird cage and fed it dog food and dog biscuits and the like. It got really big really fast and we realized we couldn't keep it as it was a wild animal and it was it's destiny to be free. Hence the expression "free as a bird". So we decided to let it go. But it never went far! It would always come back and be perched on the wood racking we had in the back garden. It was like it thought we was its mother and our home its home or something and probably kept returning for food?
Anyway, eventually it must have flew away and decided not to come back again as we never saw it again. I will always remember it though and this story. 
Some people have really extreme pets though like Monitor Lizards and monkeys, snakes, bears, crocodiles and alligators and the like! Cute when they're young, lethally and deadly dangerous when they're mature though!
What's the weirdest, wildest animal you've had as a pet?
Why did you get it and what's the story behind it?
Do you think some people should keep dangerous pets?

I believe they can live with the other species for a long time..
I think it's a Bobbit worms and bristles worms that are pretty much fun to me. Actually, the first time I noticed them when I was in the house of my brother. he lives in my neighborhood and sometimes I come to his house. Anyway, he bought those bristle worms when he was at the zoo store in our city. So, I decided to try those bobbit worms to myself as well. Personally, those [url=https://arcreef.com/bristle-worms/bristle-worms-fireworms/]fireworms[/url] are quite cute :) I believe they can live with the other species for a long time..

Ok the wildest pet I ever had was a Nooitgedacht pony. My parents bought her and her filly for me and my younger sister. Neither pony was broken in. Anyway the filly was so young when we got them that we had no problem breaking her in when she was old enough. My pony however was older and she was just not having any of it.
Yes there is a reason they call it breaking in a horse and sometimes you can do it nicely and sometimes a person breaks the horses spirit to break it in. We aren't those type of people. The vet and the farrier refused to come and see to my pony, they both came short at a visit.
This pony had spirit and she was quite frankly dangerous. After a few years we sold her, rather than break her spirit or have a dead vet on our hands.
Then the weirdest pet I ever owned? Well now don't think I'm weird or anything but I stole a duck from a petting zoo. Yes I was drunk. Anyway I took him home, called him Chester (after the SA rugby payer Chester Williams) and soon after he laid an egg for me. I didn't bother changing her name.
Then I also shoplifted two long haired hamsters from a pet shop once... ok wait I lie. I only shoplifted one my friend shoplifted the other. It was fate. We were admiring these cute little things and we so wanted them. We were about to leave when the power in the whole mall went out. Anyway when we were outside it turned out great minds think alike. I had one and she had one. We called them Curt and Courtney...you know Nirvana was the thing then.
She couldn't keep hamsters at her house so I took them to my house. I put them in a box in the back of my cupboard because my mom would've killed me for bringing more animals home. Anyway these little guys bred like crazy busting my ass one day with my mom, a whole colony of hamsters when she opened my cupboard one day. I took them to school and made a few bucks selling them all off.
Then there was the cat that I rescued ... oh wait I lie, that's what I told my mom. I went to a friends house and they had a little black and white kitten which they didn't want. He kept twitching his head. He was a weird little kitty.So I took him home and told my mom how I found this poor little thing in the middle of the road, terrified... you know the guilt trip story?
I made some posters "looking for the owners" and put them all around. When nobody claimed him I called him Dreyfuss (you know like the Lunatic Dreyfuss from the Pink Panther?) hahaha.He was a strange but lovable animal. He outgrew his twitch.
I could share plenty more about strange animals, had some huge mountain tortoises, a crazy ass rooster... LOL OMG Mike you really want me to tell you these things?
