Congrats on the babies! They all have their own personality, don't they? It's hard for me to contain myself with animals - I fall directly in love and could take everyone of them home.

Wiz - birds are pretty bad for allergies, and I'd say 'tiels and cockatoos are probably the worst of them, a LOT of dander. You might consider Finches or canaries though, with their smaller size and low ratio of dander would be a good test. and they generally enjoy bathing, which keeps the dander down.

Finches are inexpensive and a lot of pretty ones. not too bad if you have to part with them because of the allergies, so it would be a good way to test it out.

My conure is a bigger investment and longer commitment, but if you found you could keep birds, conures tend to be good ones, too. He will bathe regularly, and I never see any dander from him. Jake will climb right in the water and soak himself - and anyone else close, lol.

I wish the dogs would do that.
