I'm not a bird person but I don't think that there's such a thing as a low maintenance bird. Very Happy

All of them are messy you know.

i also don't know much about birds but i think hearing chirping in the morning would be a great way to greet the day.

just because birds are kept in cages doesn't necessarily mean they are low-maintenance. i think they're even harder to have as pets.

I agree with Susie. While I don't own a bird, but I could see them poop a lot in their cages. Everyday. Imagine the amount of cleaning up you'll have to do?

cleaning up birds' poop isn't a desirable thing to do at all...hahaha Razz

What's with all these cleaning up thing? What's wrong with that. If you have a dog, then you also clean up after your pet. To hear the melodious chirps of the birds early in the morning makes every effort worthwhile.

well, at least you could teach dogs and cats to poop in the right places! you can't do that with birds.
