NO. I don't know who told you that but that is rediculous.
At one time, I raised parakeets and entertained the idea of becoming an exotic bird breeder. Hence I managed to meet a lot of bird experts and read every book I could get my hands on about exotic birds. I was most interested in the parrots, lorries, cockatoos, cockateils, Amazon greens, African greys etc. I've got to tell you that I NEVER came across ANYTHING remotely close to something like that.
I've had friends with exotic birds and they had babies(not at the same time ofcourse) and not once did ANYTHING bad happen.
Whoever told you that needs a good tongue lashing.
That's rediculous.
