Ball pythons reaction to a parrot?
So, at the end of this month I will be picking out a baby African gray or macaw for my mom, who will live in the living room. My room is next door, where monty and charma (ball python and chameleon) live. Should I move them to the other side of the room, further from the wall? African greys and macaws are very loud birds, I don't want it's noise to freak them out.

Snakes have no auditory system so there won't be any issue there. As for the Chameleon you may just want to wait and see if there's is any need.

They can feel vibration though.. I guess the vibration wouldn't be more than people walking down the hall. My main concern is when I take monty outside to get some fresh air and natural sunlight, I'd have to walk past the bird. On the other side of the room.

What exactly are your concerns, in the 5 or so seconds it will take to pass through that room ?

Re: Ball pythons reaction to a parrot?
I have a blue front amazon parrot, and a corn and a BP. The parrot is very loud and shrill and screams in the morning and at sunset/. He is 26 years old and my snakes don't really react to his noise at all/ even when the BP is out if brandy starts to seranade us it seems fine to the snake. He not only screams but the rest of the day he will call the dogs or call my daughter for attention. Birds are very social and need a lot of attention specially the large parrots and Macaws. Teaching them to talk will sometimes keep the screeching down a bit. A loud hello is easier on the ears then a shrill scream.

He will be my moms parrot, so I'm not terribly worried about the interaction.

Nothing to worry about for the snake as far as noise goes. They don't really seem to react to anything but intense sounds; like they might notice if I stomp around my reptile room or vacuum it, but have no reaction to normal talking or even singing unless I'm holding them (and the vibrations are passing through my body straight into theirs).
I'd be seriously surprised if your BP freaked out just walking past a parrot. Or even being in the same room for a longer period of time really. My guess is he would either not notice or ignore the bird unless you really forced them to interact or something.

Keep an eye on the Cham! Watch for signs of stress. We had a chameleon for years, always was a great eater and completely unphased by our dog. Then we brought home a new puppy and he turned black and refused food. We moved him to a bedroom the puppy didn't have access to but he never recovered and passed. They can be very sensitive to change
