Good suggestion LPM, Birds ARE amazing . . . however i will add in my two cents from experience . . . Birds are VERY time consuming and they eat Money like it grows on trees with their special care and food.
Plus, they tend to live a long time and can develop nervous disorders if not taken care of perfectly and provided the right amount of intellectual stimulation . . . They are almost like small children and require alot of care, affection and time . . . something i'm not sure a small child could handle, birds are recommended mostly for adults with alot and i mean, alot of time on their hands

She really doesn't want to at least HOLD a rabbit and see what she thinks?
Picky children . . . that's cute
