If you have a Balcony with plants or a Garden then why not go for a Dove n Dovehouse!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeon refers to some special breeds of pigeon n doves.

How about a tomato plant as a stop gap while you decide. I have one that's grown about half a cm today, so they are kind of whatchable. And you may be able to feed it to the pet when it arrives, or to yourselves, in a nice greek salad or similar.

Wally may be she works in Genetic Engineering and that was was a modified Tomato. But please do not ever try to do something like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufoqXqW1mVo&feature=related
Wal, I think my regular house plants may really resent the suggestion that any plant in my care could have the opportunity be so impatient and demanding; they are already extremely perturbed by the tomato plant's presence, it gets proper nurturing, while they languish in tiny, undersized, dryish pots. So there could be some kind of plant uprising round at my place, but just with a different agenda. Thanks for the warning!
I just saved my pet brick from being left in an old house (my brother was still staying in the house.) Actually, the house (and the brick - called Roy) is in Sheffield not far from the PGF office (he's a pure Crookes-bred brick, even says so on him.) So, if you were willing to offer him a good home.......
How about a house rabbit - although it will nibble thorugh all your wires. They're very trainable, although to give it a good life you would have to provide a really big area for it to run around, maybe a friend rabbit and a dirt box (as well as a littery tray) in the corner of your office, so it can dig - I actually mean a big box of dirt so it can burrow away.
Or an owl, seeing as we are all very wise......sometimes.
Haha, lost the plot now, but I've found some pets you can get.
