 * No, there should NOT be a comma there. "[and] takes out her pet bird." cannot stand by itself and should therefore not have a comma. If the sentence read "Petunia opens a bird cage, and she takes out her pet bird.", then it would have a comma, as "[and] she takes out her pet bird." is a complete sentence. Same with the second case.
 * 1) You can't do something (in this case use a swing) at a park. They're inside the park, therefore "in" is more correct.
 * 2) I'll admit that both "afterward" and "afterwards" are correct, but the -s is more used as a slang and therefore I included it in my copyedit.
