I have a cockatiel and I didn't realize how devoted and strong bonded they are. Once you become their chosen human, you have an obligation to devote yourself to them too.
Are you willing to spend your life with one? Take them on vacations with you? If not, do you have back-up to take care of them (family)? Can you give them the amount of quality time daily they need?
If I leave mine alone all day, which is rare, I leave the radio on softly playing classical music. They hate silence. Silence for them means danger (think of the jungle).
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1112387 Well to be honest I was surprised at just how long these guys live for and if I were to obtain a young one, it's got a halfway decent shot at outliving me! Although science does have 'reversing the aging process' within its reach within the next 40 years so I have that on my side.  Usually when I take vacations I don't travel too far and if I were than arranging care for the bird while I was away wouldn't be a problem. It's more my normal day to day routine that I'm somewhat concerned with as far as absences go. The radio/TV option sounds like it works for many owners here. ------
