Ah, that's very true! I heard about this with parrots, especially about how parrots can outlive owners. I've even seen some poor parrots get mistreated badly or just wasn't given enough attention to the point they started plucking their own feathers from the stress. Something like that ;v;
Parrots are definitely for someone who has a lot of time and skill XP
I really want to get a pet some day, I'm not exactly sure what to start with :'D
Lizards look like pretty cool pets! But my mom's too terrified with anything reptile so that's not an option;3;
