> Which types of birds should people really think twice about before deciding to adopt?

 

Besides saying “all kinds,” it would help, IMO, to point out that the smaller birds like budgerigars and cockatiels may be cheaper and easier to get, but they are still long-lived and require an ongoing commitment. I like to remind people that cockatiels have a potential life span of over 30 years, which is longer than most marriages, personal relationships or jobs last. Not a good impulse buy!
