What type of pets do Australians have?

Answer 1

Australians do not keep native wildlife as pets. These animals are protected and even the common kangaroo cannot be kept as a pet, but only by wildlife carers who have a special licence. This is not to say that some Australians do not illegally keep such pets.

On the whole, Australians commonly have dogs, cats, fish, birds - especially budgies, galahs and cockatiels, and guinea-pigs, mice and rats. In all states except Queensland and Western Australia, rabbits may be kept. Australians do not have gerbils or hamsters. In Tasmania, people may keep ferrets.

Reptiles may also be kept, but must never be caught from the wild. Some native species are able to be kept in certain states without permits, e.g. the eastern Blue Tongue Lizard may be kept in South Australia without a permit, but not in other states. Turtles, hermit crabs, and an array of snakes and lizards are available from pet shops.

Answer 2

well us Aussies mate love watching the footy, cooking snags on the BBQ what else um we are very fond of animals and love the out back!!

The above is a very stereotyped answer. Most Australians have never even travelled to the outback, to their very great loss. According to recent survey, cricket is more popular than football, but there is a large proportion of Australians who are not interested in sports.

However, may Australians do enjoy the beach and the outdoors; swimming; barbeques and a variety of activities found in other countries.
