Anyone here a bird person and can give me thoughts on the best bird for an 8 year old? He REALLY wants one that will talk. I really want one that won't live 50 years.
I have read quite a few articles on what is suggested and why, I'm just curious for personal thoughts.
FWIW - I 100% understand
1. He's too young for a bird that is strictly his responsibility. He will have responsibility but ultimate responsibility lies with me
2. Many birds can easily live 10-15 years and he's liable to get bored well before then (back to the adult responsibility part
I have not actually decided if I will let him get one but I did tell him I'd think about it.
