If they are set on having birds, zeb's, budgies, society finches, canaries and cockatiels each have as many plus and minus points, just different ones. Choice would depend on the age of the kids, how much space you have (aviaries or cages), how many you'd want, if the kids wanted to breed some, if they wanted something hand-tame, etc etc etc. Being realistic, especially for very young kids, pet mammals are probably better than birds, particularly if mum and dad aren't birdy-inclined themselves - mammals can escape but at least they can't fly. As horrific as it might sound to many people, tame rats are absolutely great pets for young kids - they are usually very friendly, never bite, and can be as good a friend to any kid as they'd ever want from a pet.
Yes, Zebra Finches are from Australia, where they are actually slightly smaller than ones kept as pets.
Cork, tile, or hardwood flooring is best if you have pets and kids.
Yes, they are very good cats, especially with kids and other pets.
guinea pigs
Yes, they are good with kids and just very friendly.
no they do not they make noise and need to be in light all the time or they dry out and die. im not joking.
Maybe, if they are very very very very good
maybe if they are gentle but otherwise a good pet would be a bird
I don't think that you can have kids in the sims 2 pets for psp. You can have kids for people and pets on the PC version, though.
Anoles are quite small and fast so they are hard to handle but are quite easy to keep. Not the best first time Lizards, though, but they should make good pets for kids if given proper care.
you can not have pets but you can have kids on sims 3 ambitions
well if its a big shark because it could kill the kid
