Don't forget daily cage cleaning. I bird sat a parakeet for 6 week. What a pain in the arse! Never would I have a bird! My elderly mom had a bird and she loved it at first but eventually she grew weary of the care of a bird. Fortunately life intervened and the bird passed away. Problem solved. Birds have a long lifespan by the way.
Never would I give a pet to anyone without their full input. Someone has to take responsibility of that pet ESP if the recipient starts to fail in their health.
