One thing I loved from the Get go about Wow was it companion / pets

My first pet was a snow shoe rabbit I refred to as Hopper

I clearly remember getting it thinking it was kinda fun and funny the whole mage / magian thing having a rabbit  along for my adventures, and  as I found out later the mage in Storm Wind in the  Mage Quarter who had a spell backfire and transformed himself permanently into a rabbit, ( model snowshoe rabbit)

that was 59 compainions ago ( have 60 all up)

My guild mates think I am a right nutter ( they not completely wrong)

Some have asked do I even summon all my pets/ compaions and do I recall which ones I have answer is yes to both.

One companion type I have and really liked is the birds. At one point they were all ground skimmers. Then Blizzard with one of its patches made it so some flew at a half decent hight. Though I always wished they could fly along side you while you flew about on your personal flying mount.

Yesterday  the Tickbird Hatchling hatch form its egg.

(hatched from oracle faction egg)

This is one special very cool flying pet, apart from the fact it has the latest flying animation which includes a really nice glide, it is the only Bird ( I know of ) that can and will fly with you at any altitude. The Only Shame is that it can not fly fast enough to keep up with an epic mount. Non the less when I discovered this flying abilty I was pleased as a dwarf with a room full of kegs all to himself.

I found it fun to have tick out flying when I am doing a localized quest/ daily and speed is not a factor so I can fly on my first rank Griffon or flying machine and have Tick keep up  with me, just another personal fun thing  you can do. 

Its not a bigg wow wee thing, and some may think what's the deal and why go on about it, but I find this just another small detail Blizzard has put into the fun pot when playing Wow 

So go on dare to wish, Blizzard may pick up on it and make your wish come true.
