For everything I read I would stay away from any type of Conure, Cockatoo or Macaw. If you dont know about the allergies of the child I would also avaoid the dusty breeds like Cockatoos, Cockateils , or African greys. With the Noise is the place I would avoid the Conures or the Quakers as they can be VERY LOUD esp in the morning. Dogs dont matter if they are taught to leave bird alone and the bird is young and brought up with dogs. Eclectus have specialized diet needs and I wouldnt reccommend them for a beginner bird. Everything I read points me towards a PIONUS (pref. White Capped) Quieter and more family type bird. Or One of the Myers, Jardine or Senegal? But they can end up being a one person type bird - noise levels are lower.
