Kim,

Think about it. They're made to soar at great heights and distances, none of which they ever get to do in captivity. In rainforests no less. How cool is that?
Imagine living your life primarily in one small room. Then imagine soaring through rain forests.
Having a longer life span doesn't mean you "have it made."
