[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another vote against getting a parrot or one of the longer-lived species, since it very well could end up being a lifetime commitment on your part. I know of a couple of parrots who outlived their owners. In one case, the parrot didn’t get along with the spouse, so an adult child stepped in (and then the parrot didn’t get along with the child’s spouse when she eventually married). I was friends with the adult child (the second owner) and that bird was a LOT of work, though she loved it dearly. In the other instance, I don’t know what happened to the bird when the original owner died[/quote] Parakeets and cockatiels live, what, 8-15 years? These are also good, sweet starter birds. Only more experienced bird owners should take on cockatoos, greys, amazons and the bigger birds. OP, if you decide to take the plunge, I’d strongly recommend a parakeet or cockatiel. [/quote]
