    i have heard about hens because my partner hates them so much but they apparently jump in their lap for pets (back when their dad had them)

    damn affectionate ostrich would be so cool

    like having a velociraptor snuggle up to you

      Yep, I've had pet hens in the past, couldn't do anything in the backyard without them running over, and they would always jump in our laps for pats the instant we sat down. The only thing they loved more was pooping in their drinking water.

      I have a memory when I was very young staying in a farm in Wales and being able to stroke the hens whilst they were laying. They were so soft and cute.
