And for some birds don't forget going deaf and crazy from those screeches and screams!

I agree, but unfortunately a lot of people just walk into the store and see something they want and then take it home. Or else they do their research on youtube and see videos like yours where you have a bird that comes when called and does cute tricks almost effortlessly. A lot of people definitely wear blinders when thinking about a new pet.
