My newborn is 2 weeks old and just got out of the hospital. I took a quick second to ask this question. I think my macaw would be good, she has been with me for 10 years and that is how old she is. She hasn't been biting unless someone bothers her but she doesn't know my child and squawks, and she flies free sometimes. She likes her cage and has the option but I am afraid that when she is flying she will hurt my child. What do I do?

Any animal is unpredictable, keep your child away from it, especially when she/he is 2 years old and very curious! NO WAY!! Iam an avid bird lover, but please do not put it anywhere near your newborn. I worked with one macaw, the actually gnawed through the rod iron cage, chewed it's 4' stick in half, bit threw a twig with no effort.

Yeah that should be safe flying free around a baby it is squawking at. No!! When I was little we had a parrot, and it attacked me!!

They're very protective over their owners!!

Keep it away! No. If the remotest possibility exists that your macaw will hurt your child (sharp beak, already displays squawking and different behavior), then you have an obligation to your child to keep the loving pet you adore away from your child. Otherwise, if something were to happen, your child could die or be disfigured and traumatized; and you could be charged with murder or whatever they charge parents who intentionally ignore the danger signs and endanger their children when it could have been prevented and they really should have been able to figure it out. I would be very Leary to leave your Macaw loose around your newborn baby. Animals get jealous just like humans do but they show it in a more vicious way - so unless your in the room with your baby - I wouldn't let the Macaw fly around. I think you should listen to what your mind is telling you. I am no expert on birds but your baby seems to be upsetting your bird and she, the Macaw could easily get upset with your babies crying, etc. and bite the baby, just not worth taking a chance on that. In my opinion it really depends on what you think. If you have been with animals your whole life like Steve Irwin then it is fine. But if you haven't had a huge experience with birds or any pets then keep your baby away. I do think this is a good question but you have to really know what you're going to answer it with. Like I don't have any idea what I should type on here. So maybe wait a few months with your bird in her cage then let her out and get used to the baby. Hope this helps you! I think you should try it out with your macaw for at least a week or a couple days but keep an eye out for your new born and if it doesn't work out let him get used to your new born or put him in your basement (if you have one) or have a friend take care of it for you while your baby gets older.
