Buddy on the other hand, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm not sure. Your Yorkie
is coming after the fact so hopefully in time he will consider him to be a

I think if you introduce them as soon as you bring your puppy home and let it be known that the birds are family, you shouldn't have too much a problem. I still wouldn't let them be in the same room when you aren't home... but I think they could get along fine.
We all know yorkies are ratters... I owned RATS when I got my first yorkie. I introduced them young and Gizmo learned that the rats were family and the rats learned that Gizmo was family. I could let one of the rats run around the Gizmo would actually play extremely gently with them. He never tried to bite them or hurt them.
Just like dogs and cats can get along despite their natural predator/prey background, I think other combinations of animals can get along as long as they realize and understand that they are family.
