If you mean will the CAG be jealous of your new baby - of course they will dependent on who they bonded with. If it's you, they will be jealous - but they won''t attack your baby if that's what you're worried about.
All birds produce dander and dust which some people develop allergies to. A bird should never sleep in your bedroom, therefore if you're baby is sleeping they shouldn't really be in the same room as your bird.
There should be no problem with keeping your baby and bird in the same room at some point as long as your cage is kept spotlessly clean.
A baby and a CAG can live in perfect harmony - please don't consider getting rid of your CAG because you have a baby. These birds get attached and it's disturbing for them to be moved around.
But please, spend time with your CAG as well as your baby - if you can't, then this bird is not for you as it needs attention every day.
Good luck with your new baby and your CAG.

As long as you keep the bird off of the baby and his things, it should be ok. If you notice the baby having respitory problems, he may be allergic to the dander in the parrots feathers.

there isthe worry of avian flu of course. but its highly unlikely that your birds have it. also infants and avian feases dont mix as the faeses carry germs. how ever the think i would worry about is the african grey mimiking the sound of a crying baby. i think you will find yourself waking up more times in the night. :D
but in all seriousness. no you dont.

It is perfectly safe - as long as you keep the bird's area clean, you should be perfectly alright. I raised two kids with an Amazon, a cockatiel, 2 lovebirds and dogs - they are all okay.

I would ask your vet. I think the main worry would be the diseases that birds carry.

WTF is an African Grey. Is that a parrott? Would have though so, providing you take all the regular pet / baby precautions.
