Some of you may have seen my posts over the past week.
We adopted our cockatoo Nic Nic last week, he has been incredible, he is sweet, quiet, playful and has already began talking a bit for us, even though he never said a word to his past owners.
Problem here is, I am certain my 3 year old is allergic to him. We have a doctors appointment tomorrow, just to be sure, but when ever he is around him, or even in our living room at this point, his eyes get red, irritated and he begins to have a difficult time breathing.
My wife took the boys out for the day and my son was fine, no trouble at all...they got home around 3pm and by 4:30 he was very sick again.
I have given Nic Nic baths, but have NO IDEA what else can be done.
We adore this little bird, he has become a beloved family member very quickly, but I cannot have my 3 year old ill.
Any help or suggestions would be incredibly welcome.

Nic nic sounds like the perfect bird too. I really hope you guys will be able to find a solution. If the allergies cant be controlled maybe an outdoor aviary/bird house?
