[quote=Anonymous]I've had birds for the past dozen years or so. I do NOT recommend it, particularly for a young child. It is not easy to give birds a life they deserve in captivity, and they are a surprising amount of work (constant poop, expensive/specialized vet care, etc). You might get a bird with a really cool personality, but more likely than not it will be grumpy, or easily frightened and not interested in being affectionate with you or your kid. Then, as a result, it will be boring and kid will lose interest. But you're still stuck with the lonely bird for years to come. If you do get one, stick with a parakeet. At least if they bite, it doesn't hurt so much. And they have shorter life spans than, say, a cockatiel or something like that.[/quote]
