When my first child was born (I now have three) 14 years ago I had big birds (macaws, Mollucan cockatoos,etc.). Now that is a bad combination for children: one good nip and a finger is gone, psitticosis, birds screaming at nap time, etc. Yet I guess beautiful animals such as these are taken on the surface as acceptable.

I switched to herps without a problem. If done correctly reptiles are as dangerous as aquarium fish.
