An article recently published in the New York Times website warns about the dangers of embedded geotags (location info) in pictures you take - What the Internet Can See From Your Cat Pictures. (this is relevant to our parrots too :D )

In a nutshell, if you take pictures of your parrots with a smartphone that has geotagging enabled and post them on the web, strangers can learn where you live by looking at the geotags embedded in the pictures. You can disable geotagging or use a picture metadata remover to get rid of the geotags, before you post them on the web.
