8 Worst Pet Bird Species for Kids

If you're looking to add a pet bird to your family and you have kids, it's helpful to avoid the species that could overwhelm or even injure a child. While there are exceptions to every rule, certain bird species tend to do better with an experienced adult to meet their needs. Some of these birds are prone to biting when provoked while others are rather sensitive and don't appreciate rambunctious children. Here are eight bird species that might be best to steer clear of if you have kids.


Macaw

Macaws are large, powerful parrots that demand a lot from their caretakers in terms of time and attention. In addition, they are equipped with massive beaks that could severely injure a small child, even if the bird was only trying to play. Macaws also tend to be quite noisy, which might be too chaotic for a home with kids.
