Hello hi yeah- I have an issue.
so I found what I thought was a party clown in the woods near my house, but I’ve noticed it acts a lot like a jester, but it also has the same aversion to toys as a mime?? Do mix breeds of party clown, jester and mime all together exist? What do I do with them? I haven’t gotten any tests done since it just started to trust me a couple days ago- I’ve never owned a clown or anything similar, and I’m not sure how to care for one let alone what could possibly be a Party clown, jester mime mix breed? I think it was a mill-bred clown, it was really hurt and scared to even look at me.
what do I do with them? Do I send them to a shelter? Will they get put down for breed discrimination since it could potentially be three different breeds in one? Will that break their heart if I send them to a shelter??
I’d greatly appreciate some help with this, I don’t know what to do-
Sorry for bothering you with this.
Hello! It's no problem whatsoever, don't worry about the message! Especially because I'm very qualified to help you, as someone who keeps a party/mime mix and a jester-primary crossbreed!
If that is what you're dealing with (and it seems you are, to me), and they've already imprinted on you, then my suggestion for the best life possible for the clown is, if you feel prepared, to buckle up. Binbi, my jester mix, is a precious, wonderful clown. That doesn't mean that they're not a handful. Jesters tend to be rambunctious little scamps. Mix that with the playfulness of a party clown, and the strange (read: wonderfully odd) traits of a mime?
Sometimes, as humans, we choose a clown. And sometimes, a clown chooses us. I'd invest in a medium sized enclosure, that gives the clown room to practice their routines! Usually I'd suggest a set of juggling balls, but given that this clown seems to have a toy aversion, maybe not? Maybe try something creative leaning - Balloons for balloon animals or maybe even paints? Jesters are odd enough that painting might be interesting enrichment- I let Binbi paint once and they managed to paint something that looked roughly like my other two clowns 🥺 🥺 🥺
I hope this helps!! Feel free to ask me anything else, my inbox is always open, friend!
