I had my Annie-Belle and cockatiels. They got a very high quality, human-grade food. Charlotte (one of the 'tiels) LOVED to drop food for Annie-Belle. We never had any problems. I mean, I didn't ENCOURAGE her to eat it, but they bite or two she managed to get here or there never hurt her.
The only things I would be concerned about is 1) your bird possibly hurting your yorkie (not saying he would, just something to watch out for), they have rather large beaks and yorkies have rather small bones and 2) making sure your yorkie doesn't hurt your bird. Also, dog saliva is toxic to birds. My Annie-Belle wanted to play with the birds and would sometimes pounce at them. I don't think she would have ever intentionally hurt one of them, but accidents do happen and that's just something to look out for. |
