Birds live really, really, really long lives, and require more emotional support than any animal I know of. Unless you have children who are okay with you willing the bird to them, and can at least spend a full time job worth of time with the bird every week, don’t get one. I mean, seriously, if the bird doesn’t live on your shoulder during your every waking hour, you are emotionally abusing and traumatizing that bird. They’re far more intelligent and social beings than most people give them credit for. They should not live in cages.
