I've had a lot of parrots and other birds and I wouldn't let ANY of the birds very close to my yorkie. The small ones he'd run after (he grabbed one of my doves and you know what they do to rats? He was about ready to give it a good shake
. And the parrots' beaks are just too big and can do too much damage. And I've been bitten to the bone by an Amazon (and I still love them), so I just wouldn't want to take the chance. The other issue I had was that Max, my Yorkie, will pick up practically ANYTHING that's on the floor and eat it. My birds ate a lot of corn on the cob and grapes and neither of those are good for these little guys. So I was always frantic trying to get to the dropped food before Max did. Max would go up to the birds if they were hanging off the door of their cage, and being curious as they are, would put his nose up to them....YIKES! I could just see it being bitten off. I have a girlfriend who has dogs and breeds birds and has a few of the parrots inside the house. One day, the dog was sleeping on a chair next to one of the parrot's cages and his foot was hanging a little too near the cage and the bird bit one of his toes off. I would just be really really careful and never leave them together unsupervised. And be sure to watch him around the cages for picking up stuff; seeds arent' good for them either!
