Look at the butterflies at the museum. Kids are fascinated with flying creatures. However, a child's age should be a determining factor as to whether they can safely handle a bird and adult supervision is a must with little ones. I think these birds will get plenty of exercise and stimulation, rather than being stuck in a dinky cage.Bystandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-54874092693148713842009-05-22T19:21:45.756-05:002009-05-22T19:21:45.756-05:00I used to have a parakeet.

I also think that unintentional wing damage along with too firm a grip and internal injuries would occur quite a bit. These aren't toys. Doesn't seem right to "play" with living creatures.kkditherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181697760037435065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-23206979714910882852009-05-22T16:28:09.646-05:002009-05-22T16:28:09.646-05:00I was there last night.
