When I saw this thread I just had to post, I am also a bird lover along with the yorkies
Here's our macaw, Bristol, he's 12 yrs. old and has lived with us for most of that time. That's my daughter Megan with him, he loves it when she comes to visit
and screams until she holds him. He also has done his share of damage to woodwork and such, but we still love him.
Our dogs love to hang out under his playstand as he drops all kinds of good foods, that they aren't allowed normally to eat
We also have African Greys that sound just like the dogs at times, people even ask if it's the birds or a dog, they are fun.
Altogether we have 10 birds, and they all get along with the dogs for the most part, it's a zoo around here
