      If your grandma ever wants to release a finch tell her I had a co-worker who came in crying because she let her cat out on her balcony and when she let it back in it came in with the fresh killed body of a little blue parakeet. Never seen it, obviously a pet breed of bird. Apparently landed on the balcony after the cat was out lacking instinct and not knowing many cat would see it as a nom nom.

      My mom tried to do that when we lived back in NY but she did it right next to my red tailed hawk. Bird made it a whole 5 feet before my hawk jumpped up n caught it mid flight n ate it in front of her lol I just laughed like crazy. Told her u NEVER release animals into the wild. She just hit me wit the broom lol were puerto rican so the broom attack is normal lol

    My first snake was a Burmese python whom I inherited from a friend. Her name was Monster (a nod to her eventual size and to how most people react to snakes) and she was the sweetest snake I've ever met! So docile I could take her out in public and she'd basically be my bracelet or necklace. She had this pose she liked where she would wrap her tail around her own neck and hand head downward making her look like an animate necktie. I don't have her anymore, and I still miss her.

    When I arrived in Florida three decades ago, the green anoles were EVERYWHERE. As a northern city boy, I was amazed by it. Sadly, they're mostly gone now thanks to the much more aggressive (and invasive) brown anoles.

      They're actually quite prolific in other southern states like georgia, alabama, and the Carolinas. It's just unfortunate so many invasive critters introduced to florida eat smaller reptiles. I've maybe seen three in my whole time of living florida. They're really an absolutely stunning anole, just unfortunately becoming scarcer and scarcer in Florida.
      They're actually going through a period of forced advanced evolution- their natural habitat is hunting bugs at the bottom of trees, but they're quickly evolving larger ridged toe pads in order to climb higher and higher into trees to avoid newly introduced predators! It's really pretty cool, just a bit sad that they have to learn to adapt so fast.

    Some examples are BCCs, green iguanas, macaws and white eyed conures.
    It's quite common to see blue and gold macaws (even in the city) and boas near bodies of water around here.

    You do not need to have a hunting license or any kind to be allowed to “help” with the invasive species problem, which it is legal to do with the invasives.
    However, it is still illegal to keep an invasive species as a pet, because there is a chance that you will not be able to take care of them. Since it has been your pet and you have grown to love them, then you most likely will chose the option to release them, causing them to breed and repopulate.
