My grandmother (paternal) used to keep pet chicken and duck in the kitchen area. Fed them, played with them and sayang them. Placed a plank block to keep them from straying into the hall. She usually only kept them for a few days. They'll disappear after one of the family feast gatherings. My other grandmother (maternal) was even more exotic. She used to keep pet turtles. Same practice though, fed them, played with them and sayang them, but they'd disappear after a grand feast.
