    __________________________________________________
    Are you serious? I know of no children who have been cut in half
    or decapitated by a ceiling fan. I don't know of any who have
    landed in a boiling pot of spagetti. I also don't know of any
    who have run out an open door and been slaughtered by a hawk.
    Where do I live, I think the question is, where do you live that
    this sort of thing happens. A child proof home is not just as
    safe for a bird. A flighted bird can easily fly OVER the gate
    that keep the child out of the kitchen and bathroom and away from
    a hot stove or oven or open toilet. And I never heard of a child
    being crushed between the top of the door and the door frame
    because someone didn't see it perched there when they shut the
    door. Your argument aren't worth the time it took you to type
    them or me to respond to them, but unfortunately if they are left
    unanswered, some other unknowledgable person may actually think
    that what you said it somehow true. I can't bear the thought of
    another bird dying because of people like you. And for your
    info, I have saved more birds in my life than you will likely
    ever lay eyes on, so get off your ignorant high horse. -Alison-
