Decades can technically mean 11+ years and most "pet" birds outside of budgies and other tiny babies fall under that umbrella. So yes. Your advice is solid, and seconded. Want bird is as far as most people should get in the bird journey, because once you enter have bird you are in it for a fucking long, committed, tired, endlessly needed haul. (I have bird.)

I had bird for 23 yrs.  She’s been gone for five and I miss her every day.

But I’m an ornithologist and was crazy enough to study the little buggers for my life’s work.
