After I went on line and saw how much it costs to buy, & keep a bird for a pet, I decided that buying an old Catolack and just leave it in my driveway and never use it, would be cheaper.
As a parrot owner, I would not advise having a pet bird. They are very messy.
Birds are long lived. One outlived my mother, grandmother and an aunt.
You can just watch youtube bird videos and knock stuff off the table onto the floor now and then. Pretty much the same experience, and it's free.
My wife wanted a bird in a cage..or chickens in a koop. I resisted both requests until she gave up.
Pets can be quite expensive. I love my cat dearly, but his food and veterinary care have run a lot of money. The trade off has been more than worth it for me, as he has been good company and an endless source of entertainment.
The males (singers) can cost between $100-$200+, but He doesn't take up a lot space or maintenance. Seed is reasonable, and makes for a cheerful companion. Life span 6-10 years.
