In my experience the vast majority of people refer to pets using "he/she" and not "it."

Hmmm... I think you are right. After all, even our pets deserve some respect , isn't it ??

We use 'he' or 'she', as our pet is close to us.
I think it is the love for our pet rather the respect s/he deserves.00

I hope one day, he will fly to my house and into my open cage. And he will be my cutest bird.

Hi,
People commonly refer to their own pets as 'he' or 'she'. But it's not uncommon to refer to someone else's pet as 'it', particularly when the *** is not known to the speaker. That's if the pet's owner is not a party to the conversation.
Same thing with babies.
