I remember being pregnant with my first child (20 years ago) and being told that I had to get rid of my cat to be a responsible parent.

Didn't have a bird yet... but same would have applied, and my kids are all the better for it. I think that having true friends of multiple species is particularly good for encouraging compassion and mental acuity, for either species.
