The lovebird was outside on the washing line, I had no choice but to grab it, and it grabbed me in return, sinking its beak right through the skin between my thumb and forefinger. I was shouting to my mum to find a cage I could put the bird in while it kept biting harder and harder... It was eventually reunited with its owner, having escaped during a storm and travelled more than 15 miles.
The ferret was far nicer. I called to it, it trotted over to me, and I picked it up. Of course, then I had a ferret dangling from one hand and nowhere to put it. Mum had to dig out the pet carrier for temporary housing while I cleared out the hutch below my rabbit, who was not pleased with his neighbour. The owner didn't even respond to the notices I put up for three days, by which time I'd already handed the ferret over to the RSPCA. It was a female in heat, wouldn't eat or drink, so it needed to be with someone who knew more than I did.
