When it comes to exotic pets, Michael Jackson’s chimps come to mind; other celebrities have even had pets like kinkajous and tigers.

Actress Hilary Swank is the owner of an African gray parrot. These birds are known to be incredibly sociable and love to engage in repetition.

Like its cousins, parrotlets, African gray birds are extremely affectionate and intelligent. This species is one of the oldest species known to cohabitate with humans. These birds are so smart that it is believed that they even recognize the meaning of words.

These amazing animals grow rapidly in their first few years of life, and then their growth slows down as they age. These animals like to live outside where they can roam freely.


5. Audrey Hepburn’s Deer

One of the most famous celebrity pets ever is a deer named Pippa, owned by Audrey Hepburn. Hepburn got the deer while filming Green Mansions in 1959; production suggested she take it home so it would learn to follow her around, and Hepburn loved the deer so much she decided to keep it post production. The two were known to run errands in Beverly Hills together.

Conclusion

From birds to pigs, celebrities are notorious for having interesting pets. Overall, though, they are some of the most adorable pets out there.
