Are birds good pets for pre-teens?

Answer 1

That depends; I would say yes as long as they are not dangerous and they are not expensive in case it dies or flys away. I think they should only have pet birds if they are responsible enough to care for a living thing. If they're aren't then they should NOT be allowed to own a bird.

Answer 2

If you really like working with birds and are comfortable handling them, a bird can be a good pet choice. They have their own demands and challenges, including the need for space to exercise, special toys that are safe for them to play with and the inability to control their bowel movements. Birds can also be extremely noisy depending upon the breed, the individual and the environment. Some birds, such as cockatiels, live for a decade or less while other birds, particularly macaws and other parrots, can live for 60-80 years. You should be very familiar with birds, their requirements and their temperments before you make this kind of commitment.
