I think it would be great if you wrote something up that we could add to our website, Susan! A lot of people get rid of pets because of the "danger" to their children, when really they need to teach the children as well as the birds about boundaries. I think a "firsthand" testimonial would be a great addition to the website.

Mine are nippy towards the baby, so I've had to work on the baby more than the birds and I have few tips.

I have been communicating with a family who has a Hans Macaw and a brand new baby. They do not believe they have done a good job with the little macaw, because he is nippy, and appears not to have any boundaries. Initially they wanted to surrender to Mickaboo but now are willing to work with the bird because they love him desperately (and of course their baby too). They are in the Marysville,Roseville,Sacto area. Can anyone recommmend a qualified bird behaviorist, who will not charge them an arm and a leg? Thanks.
