I don't think I'll get another pet that requires a cage after hamsters! (My rabbits were raised like cats, litter trained and no cage)
Perhaps "cage" was the wrong word - I meant pets I have to corral to a specific location....but I would prevent my cat from going outside so maybe that's not it either lol
So I guess it's just back to my original point: I find the space and care accomodations required for birds to be much too inconvenient
That's my friend's parents. They get little budgies and keep them in the worst cages which means they only get the worst parts of pet ownership
