We have a tag in our family that is 20 months old. It is the only bird we have right now. We also have 6 family members to give her attention. She loves each of us for the different things that we each do for her. Our kids are 8,12,14 & 18. It seems to work well for us, as there is always someone here to pay attention to her.
I am home alot, so she doesn't spend alot of time in her cage. But I'm sure others here have advice on that issue. Good luck with your decision, and let us know what you decide.
