I want to hear from the people with pets like centipedes, prarie dogs, alligators, scorpions, vultures, octupus... What is taking care of your pet like?

There's a hawk in my yard that likes me. When I walk out, it flies to the nearest fence and waits for me to comfort/feed it, like a dog who had just realized its dinner has just been poured.

The times I do feed it, mostly seed mix, the same kind one might find in a barn. Hawks are in a three-way war with owls and crows and I otherwise am glad it goes after them and that it's hawks I have (more of a hindsight thing, I don't like to think their death is encourageable, but owls are noisy and crows are destructive).
