So, I have come to the conclusion that Rosie the loud mouthed Macaw is not baby friendly.

We had a tiny visitor today and when I left my red girls sight, screaming ensued. Which lead to the poor baby crying. So I had to keep Rosie with me or in eyesight to avoid any more screaming and crying. This has happened before, with a family friends toddler, on several occasions. If I am outside and he comes in, Rosie screams, as she does whenever the door opens and I am not in her eyesight. It has gotten to the point that he looks at her and I can see him get visibly nervous. Even when she hasn't made a peep. Uggh! That loud, window cracking voice of hers is not compatible with tiny, sensitive ears.

Which makes me wonder how people with birds first and then babies do it? I cannot even imagine the chaos that would ensue here. It would be really, really tough!!!

My birds HATE little kids. Don't know why or how this has happened, they just do. This may be why people re-home their birds after having kids, hmm..don't know? My guess would be that a small child is a threat/extra-terrestrial type being?

The funny thing is she doesn't dislike babies. She is interested and tries to dance/talk to them. But the minute I am out of eyesight, SCREEEECH!!!!!

You are so right Mare, I am the problem. Jef has been away this week so she has been spending a bit more time in her cage while I run the kids around. She has been ok, so I am happy. Except for the screaming and making the cute baby cry. :)
