I think he meant in general. Life happens hell Friday was my second time I was rear ended in 6 weeks but it's not a regular thing. Just as unexpected hospital stays are not a regular thing and once your better you go back to regular routine. I think he was more concerned about a bird not getting regular time out of the cage. Currently Riley gets 20 minutes out of the cage as per the vet until she's off her meds. That doesn't mean she's perminately going to only get 20 minutes once the vet clears her she will go back to 3 hours a day. There are times when you can't help but limit your time with them for whatever reason, but if all they get is 20 minutes of attention and that's their regular routine then thats not fair to them and the owner shouldn't have them.
