Any suggestion and advice for new lovebirds owner?
(A little warning, my English isn't that great. I'm not from an English speaking country)
Context : I don't plan to buy birds really. I know that right now my resources, money, etc. (I don't have a job) aren't the best to take care of a pet. One day I came home from college to find that my parents had bought three birds : two lovebirds and one orange-headed thrush. They had them in small cages. From what I heard, my mom told my dad that it's okay to keep it that way. I've been telling them to get a bigger cage, preferably a wider one but they won't listen. Plus, our living spaces are quite crowded and somewhat small despite having two floors, not sure where to put the cages if we were to buy a bigger cage. I even suggested to buy toys for them. My dad then replied with "animals are not like humans. They don't have a mind to reason. They will not take revenge on humans." (Although, I might heard wrong. That's essentially what he said)
Next morning, I saw my mom played bird noises near the three. I'm not sure if that's good for birds but from what I've heard online it caused them stress (?). I advice her to probably let the birds adapt and it might be better to not disturb them with bird noises but she said they bought the birds for their voices.
I felt awful. I've had pets died, put into adoption, or get abandoned on the streets (cats), just because we cannot took care of them and I was a little kid without proper education about pets. Now that I've grown, I've learn a lot about animals and I want to make this comfortable for them. I want them to be happy and well...but I'm not sure who to ask. My country is a bit behind on animal educations and wellness...I'm trying to save up to secretly buy cages and toys for them..However, I'm not even sure that the online shop items are even the best for them (again, country is a bit behind about pets). I don't have a lot of money as a college student but I'll gradually buy their essentials and bond with them (it's going to be a little hard, since I don't go home often. I stayed on the boarding house near my college and can only go home during weekends or the holidays).
