Animals:
We have a large Macaw bird who needs attention and stimulation. You don't have to hold her, but she enjoys a good conversation.
We have a cat whose litter box must be changed daily. She doesn't make good eye contact, but still craves attention in an understated way.
Cute little Maltese dog who is very social. Has to be monitored when going outside to make sure she isn't hijacked by a hawk.
We also have a small saltwater tank. The fish have to be fed daily, and the tank somewhat monitored, but overall it is low maintenance, especially for a saltwater tank.
Plants: Some watering and monitoring.
