My Paddy loves to look in bathroom mirror. I keep showing him it's us. I've heard mirrors are bad for them, why? Thanks Bonita

Not "Bad" for them, but if you leave one in view of the bird constantly, they will bond with their image and get nasty sometimes. It depends on the bird, how often it's handled and etc.

The reason they are discouraged is because like timothy said they can bond to their reflection because no matter how much you show it that it's just you the bird (any animal really) doesn't understand that to them it's a completely different bird.
