My 3rd dog used to think Kiwi was dinner and would lick her lips and want to get him. I NEVER EVER let her play with him like this. Lola and Zach are both very gentle and have never tried to hurt him. They know to play nice, our Conure is always out on his cage and if we are on the couch he loves to come down, he loves to groom the yorkies. They get along great and I don't think I will have to worry about them thinking he is dinner. But like I said I am very careful, Kiwi was my first baby and I'd never want/let something happen to him. Thanks for the advice

Just to add, Kiwi does not stress at all. He always wants to go to the dogs first and get their attention. He thinks he's a dog lol
I'm so glad for you. My dogs use to love my Conure. I have had him for 12 years now. This just happened. They want to eat him. Be careful. They show stress by nipping and pulling out feathers. FYI
