When I was growing up, we had all kinds of pets but urban kids don't get that enjoyment. I think we could do something special with kids and pets. We have a natural dog run on a fenced in railroad siding (ours) on the north side of bldg (400+ ft long x 10 ft wide). We also have a 15,000 sf roof top garden with room for some pet and play areas. I was thinking of chickens, egg laying chickens. Let them free roam in the roof top garden areas. We could do 4H projects just like our county cousins. I had a rattlesnake display when I was in college just to let you know how offbeat I am.
Maybe a pigeon coop (got lots of them). Rabbits? How about a bird avery in the interior light well? Yeh yeh, dogs and cats too.
This is just me, but it would be great to have a fenced in area on the roof so people with dogs wouldn't have to go down and out all the time to let their dogs out. Our dogs are used to a big fenced in yard but we are working with them more and more to get used to taking walks.
It would be cool to have egg-laying chickens but it would be a lot of work and I think you need a lot of grassy areas.
