    Honestly i always found it cruel to own a bird as a pet. Birds are meant to fly. All bird owners just either keep their birds in a cage or chained up all the time. They never get to fly their whole lives, or they’d fly away. Imagine being born with your upper limbs with the purpose of flying and never doing it because someone needs a pet bird.

      I agree 100%. I would never get a bird as a pet for this reason. I have a huge yard for my dogs to run around in and a dog door so they can go out any time they like. The only kind of bird you could do that with is a bird of prey that you’ve trained to do falconry with, and even then only for a limited amount of time.
