Hi there. I have an Umbrella Cockatoo and my Yorkie all treat her like one of them. Noel and Boo (My Cockatoo) are best friends. Noel goes up and licks her up her beak. The only one I have to worry about is my male Newman. He's very sneaky and will wait until Boo's back is turned and grab at her tail. All my Yorkies are females all but Newman and Newman is the only one I have trouble with. He's sneaky in general though. Not sure if it's a male thing or an individual thing. I DO NOT however allow them together without my being right there. Remember that the parrot can really damage your Yorkie and visa versa. Even just playing. Elaine |
