Hill Myna
The hill myna (Gracula religiosa) is a close relative of the crested myna. Its song is loud, melodious and rich in tune, and it mimics other birds well; with training it can imitate human speech and learn simple songs, making it a popular talking-bird pet.
Marmoset
The marmoset (family Callitrichidae) is one of the world's smallest monkeys, native to the forests of the Amazon basin in South America. Agile and gentle, it has a long, prehensile tail and a body only about 10 to 12 cm long, weighing 80 to 100 g.
Japanese Macaque (Japanese Pocket Monkey)
The so-called 'Japanese pocket stone monkey' sold in the pet trade is in fact a young Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) infant. Wild-caught or illegally traded individuals adapt poorly, carry zoonotic disease risks, and keeping primates as pets is strongly discouraged on welfare and legal grounds.
Gouldian Finch
The Gouldian finch (Erythrura gouldiae) is native to Australia and is prized for its dazzling, multicolored plumage of red, blue, purple, black, green and gold. It is a conservation-listed species in the wild and a favorite among finch keepers.
Guinea Pig
The Guinea Pig (Cavia porcellus), also called the cavy, is a gentle South American rodent kept worldwide as a pet. It needs a roomy cage, a bottle, and — unlike many rodents — a diet with added vitamin C: grass hay, guinea-pig pellets, and fresh vegetables. Its teeth grow for life, so fibrous food is essential.
Chinese White Rabbit
The Chinese White Rabbit is China's oldest domestic rabbit — small, compact, and remarkably hardy, with red eyes only in the white form. A meat-type landrace that also makes a tough pet, it needs a wire-free cage, a ball-valve bottle, and a simple diet of pellets, alfalfa, timothy, and boiled water. Watch for coccidiosis.
Alexandrine Parakeet
The Alexandrine Parakeet (Psittacula eupatria) is the largest parakeet in Asia — over 55 cm long, mostly green with a red beak and a gray-blue neck. Loved for its beauty, speech, and gentle nature, it needs a large cage, daily interaction to avoid feather-plucking, and fresh branches to chew. Captive-bred birds are easier to keep and breed.
Winter White Dwarf Hamster
The Winter White Dwarf Hamster (Phodopus sungorus), also called the Djungarian hamster or Russian dwarf, is the easiest and tamest of the small hamsters and turns white in winter. A solitary species, it needs a safe cage, a wheel, and a careful diet free of onion, chocolate, and apple seeds. Lifespan 2–3 years.
Red-breasted Parakeet
The Red-breasted Parakeet (Psittacula alexandri), also called the Moustached Parakeet, is a common, green-plumaged pet parrot prized for its ability to mimic speech. Talking takes patient training, and sexes differ in beak and throat color. It needs a roomy cage or a tether, a varied diet, and an owner willing to invest time.
Yellow-crested Cockatoo
The Yellow-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurea), also called the Lesser Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, is a medium white parrot with a yellow crest. Prized for its looks, it has been heavily trapped and is now listed as Critically Endangered. Loud, social, and highly trainable, it needs a large cage, chew-proof toys, and an owner with real time to spare.
