    There are certain pets where I imagine it is. I’ve been holding off getting a bird because I’m grappling with the idea that most pet-type birds are wildly social creatures, and locking them up alone for 8+ hours a day isn’t fair. And having an entire flock of budgies may not be realistic

      Some people have a bird room. Alternatively, you could go through the Falconry certification process to get a sky doggie that you need to take hunting periodically or it goes stir crazy

        These are both good ideas and I will chew on it. I’d never heard of falconry certification before - I just assumed those who did it just knew how to train them (kind of like training dogs lol). Thanks!
