The Baltimore City Health Department finalized regulations regarding which exotic pets and farm animals are permitted in homes. No bears, bats, ostriches, kangaroos, monkeys or mongooses as city pets. And Baltimore's avid pigeon racers will be able to keep up to only 125 pigeons each.
In addition to the limit on volume, the new regulations restrict pigeon exercise to three daily sessions, and bird owners will have to pay a one-time $80 fee.
Green iguanas smaller than 30 inches and larger than 5 feet are out. Vietnamese potbellied pigs are OK, as long as they don't grow to more than 150 pounds.
All even-toed ungulates - deer, goats, sheep and the like - are banned as pets.
