무슨 뜻이에요? 도와 주세요.

I've bought a little comic book and I've found something I don't understand. Can somebody please explain what the following sentence means.
전 얘로 할게요.

The story features two little girls who want to buy little cute birds. I hope this is enough information!

    "전 얘로 할게요." is abbreviated sentence.
    1. 전 -> 저는

    2. 얘로 -> 이 아이로 (this child)

    Although birds is an animal, childs may think the animal as valuable as if it is human.
    So, I assume that one child tell one of the birds as this baby

    3. 할게요 -> (선택)할게요.

    So, "저는 이 아이로 선택할게요." is abbreviated to "전 얘로 할게요."
    , and the meaning is that "I would like to choose this baby."

    Considering the situation, one child say, " I would like to choose this baby(bird)."
    And then, the other child will choose one of other birds."

    its probably like
    'I'll take this one/birdy"
