Introducing a new baby.

[HBP]

I'm 7 months pregnant with our third baby. Do you think there is anything special I need to do to get my Senegal used to a baby's cries?
YouTube videos?

[Eric&Rebecca]

I wouldn't advise the youtube videos as if they can hear something close to them but can't see it they get really distressed. At least that's my experience with other birds

I think when the baby arrives and the Sennie can see the huge pink unfeathered being with no wings and too many feet he'll understand where the sound is coming from. When your baby arrives I would advise perhaps moving the bird to a quieter but still social area where you can still sit with the bird, when the baby is sleeping perhaps?

The bird will need the same amount of attention as it did before the baby but I'm sure you know that. Perhaps a slight relocation of the cage might be better?

Perhaps an actual Sennie owner could help you a little more.

I thought about moving the cage but my house is open plan.
It's either in the main area or locked in a bedroom where he gets no attention.
What I have done already is turned the baby swing on here and there so he isn't stressed out by the movement of the swing when baby comes.

In the past moving the cage didn't go well though.
I had originally moved it for the Christmas tree to go there and he was a mess in the other area so the tree went in an awkward spot and he got his spot back.
