Yes birds can be kept but no cats and dogs as it may trigger urticaria.
Secondly keep your child away from the birds droppings as sometimes it may also trigger urticaria.

Close contact with pets can trigger urticaria attacks. It is not safe for your child to have a cat or dog. But you can have birds for him.
