Basically I really want a tiny velociraptor as a pet. But they don't exist anymore. So what obtainable creature is the closest to this? Birds? Reptiles? Other?
Discuss.

inb4 bearded vulture even though they wouldn't be good realistic pets.
Birds are dinosaurs, so birds.
>>2094827
Emu/Ostrich
>>2094827
one that hopefully tears you apart. try a cassowary
>>2094827
>tiny velociraptor
silkie chicken
>>2094846
Cassowaries are gentle souls who make fantastic houseguests.
>>2094865
This.
>>2094865
This, or really any bantam chicken. Very raptor-like in their movements, and I guess behaviour if you tend to imagine dinosaurs as the Jurassic Park variety

I'm curious why you say this.
please explain
literally chickens

It's a giant bird that eats bones, has an 8-9 foot wingspan, and spends a lot of its time soaring a few miles up in the sky.
Too bad we can't make mini cassowaries. Like the size of their babbies but with the black feathers.
OP, in all seriousness, it depends in what you want in a velociraptor. If you want it's supposed strategy and intellect, I recommend an African Grey Parrot. If you are more interested in its hunting abilities, I recommend looking into falconry (Mongolian hawks and falcons are best :P). If it's physical build, a peacock is a good start, and then moving on to Emus may interest you. Just tell us what you want in a velociraptor, and I may be able to hook you up with any bird that suits your needs.
I work in the bird underground.

you're so full of shit I can smell you through the wires.

i'm so sick of deviant art fags. dont you have doctor who or homestuck fan art to follow?
>>2095051
Stop.
The sort of fag that would buy a goddamned African Grey because its the closest thing to a raptor is the sort of person that would make a shitty owner for a parrot.
OP sounds like they are looking for a novelty, not a pet that requires a hardcore commitment compared to other pets.
>>2095118
This.
Also there is absolutely no evidence velociraptor was especially intelligent, that was all made up by jurassic park and etc.
The closest bird to a raptor would probably be something along the lines of a roadrunner.
Just get a couple budgies. It's the same thing
You could get a more saurian tail 3d printed and affix it to a chicken.
>>2095287
Turn 360 degrees and walk away
>>2095291
Are you a fucking idiot? if you turned 360 degrees you'd be facing the same way.
>>2095287
Call an ambulance for my girlfriend and try my best to stop the bleeding.
>>2094865
How do they see?
>>2095028
I'm sure it's possible with time and dedication. I'd have taken a teacup cassowary over a teacup yorkie.
>>2095291
I'd follow this guy
>>2094844
this as long as there is a dwarf mutation in them and take him. gotta be small.
>>2094941
That is terrifying.

Get a magpie. Or better yet find one in the wild and occasionally feed it until it becomes accustomed to you.
>>2095021
True, but falconers have kept lammergeier's in captivity before. It's just rare because lammergeiers are rare (and I wouldn't recommend trying to own one because they do have a fragile population).
Velocipraptors were tiny you tard. Jurassic Park lied a lot, the large ones were the Utahraptors.
>>2098380
>Velocipraptors were tiny you tard.
well, we're talking about pets and a dog that weighed that much would not be a tiny dog. a cat that was that big would be enormous. They were not even tiny among the _rapors.
>>2098380
So both arsenic AND victor were full of shit, dentelle is tall as the girl so it can't be a velociraptor nor a deinonychus
>>2094846
>The size of that bird's wattle
damn, son
>>2098550
We're talking about a dinosaur and an animal the general public thinks is larger than a human. It's pretty fair to in general call velociraptor tiny.
Cockatoo
Spend a while at a shelter, and adopt one.
You could probably find one without feathers too.
Cassowary is your best bet.
Downsides: It will kill you
>>2094827
>lammergeier's
get a virtual pet
Geese?
>>2098379
It's possible to keep them in captivity, sure. That doesn't mean they aren't awful pets.
Wait until Mad Jack Horner's dino-chicken project is finished.
>>2095021
Also there's only like four of them or something, so even if they were nice, good luck getting one.
>>2095287
Send flowers to GF's funeral.
>>2097510
The birds are not always aggressive, though they are territorial iirc. I notice the man was carrying a coloured towel over his shoulder. Could the bird have been seeing that as a wattle, like his own, and been curious?
>>2094827
Make Jack Horner complete the chickenosaurus.
