Birds are not decoration. My parrot needs attention, stimulation, and routine every day. I love him, but he is work.
I thought birds would be low-maintenance pets. I was completely wrong. Anyone else underestimate how much work they are?

Answers & Discussion
I wish more people researched birds before buying them. They are intelligent and social, not low-effort pets.
The cleaning surprised me most. Seeds, feathers, dust, and little messes somehow travel across the room.
I underestimated the noise. A happy bird can still be a very loud bird.
It is more work than I expected, but the bond is amazing once you understand their needs.
