do Palestinians like birds as pets? I know that y’all like cats, but do you like birds? And if so, what type of bird is commonly a pet in Palestine?

we do!! i know many people who keep birds as pets, even some family members as well. we love taking care of doves. we think they're very beautiful, and we incorporate a lot of dove symbolism in our culture. we keep other low maintenance birds like budgies or parakeets or lovebirds, yk small birds. people often have chicks and chickens, roosters, and even turkeys that you can often find on the market to buy as well. i hope this answers your question :)

#i think we take care of birds the same way everyone else does yk. nothing special #though doves are very important to us #and the palestinian sunbird is special too #palestine #in jordan we bought like 5 chicks #they all died relatively fast unfortunately after a few months but we tried taking care of them as best as we could #i still miss them :(#oh we also almost bought baby ducks but they were more expensive than the chicks so we were like nahhh
