1$\begingroup$ Art thou? Nice. Good answer, too! $(+1)$ $\endgroup$– Mr PieCommented Aug 21, 2018 at 0:24

1$\begingroup$ This was the answer? I'm sorry, but this is absurd. The solution relies on a misspelling of the word 'pita', a completely unknown product line for a Walmart water bottle which isn't even a kitchen utensil, a misspelling of the word 'ally', which certainly don't remain the same EVERY year. Far better was the suggestion of "average." $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 22, 2018 at 17:44

2$\begingroup$ @Parseltongue, I'm confused too, for those very same reasons. The water bottle one especially I thought was flimsy at best $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 22, 2018 at 17:53

how about
average?
clue 1:
birds are of class aves
clue 2:
'vera' as in aloe vera
clue 3:
rag is an article for household use
clue 4:
the one clue that doesn't fit very well. Maybe the fact that you 'age' and grow older doesn't ever change?

$\begingroup$ For your first hint, not note that you three first letters are directly the name of a rot13(cneebg). $\endgroup$– EvargaloCommented Aug 21, 2018 at 7:38

The possible solutions are : ['abasers', 'abashes', 'amidins', 'amusers', 'aneared', 'average', 'awakens']
None of which clearly solve the riddle.

$\begingroup$ I used a gigantic word list and pruned it one step at a time --> restrict length to 7 letters, must start with A, the first three letters must be in the larger word list --> and so on. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 20, 2018 at 21:09

$\begingroup$ I'm guessing at least one of the interior words isn't a proper word. It might be a brand name or something similar. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 21, 2018 at 0:24

3$\begingroup$ Well, the word 'average' can be found in this answer above, and it is a good one, perhaps having solved the riddle. Also, I strongly recommend you hide your answer in spoiler quotes/tags
>!in order to not spoil the answer for other users attempting to solve the puzzle. $(+1)$ nonetheless :) $\endgroup$– Mr PieCommented Aug 21, 2018 at 0:28
