Sister and parrot?

Question

my mom bought me a parrot named mauwy :D

anyways

my little sister (2) loves my bird she likes to sit on the couch with him and likes when it follows her around.

well today i took her to the park for my mom. There were pigeons there and she goes over and tries to pick them up!!!

these birds aren't afraid of people so she almost had her hands on them when i went over to get her. how can i stop her from picking up random birds?

Answer 1

Explain to her that they could get her very sick. Pigeons carry really nasty things, don't let her touch them. If you explain that Mauwy is a "inside bird" and the ones at the park are "outside birds". Tell her Mauwy is for holding and these other birds are just for watching. If she gets "outside bird" germs on her hands she may not be able to hold Mauwy because he'll get sick. Or something to that effect.

Answer 2

just wash her hands ..bring sanitizer
