Hi, Am seeking advise from anyone who might just happen to have both a Yorkie and a macaw in their family. I have a beautiful Catalina (Scarlet/Blue & Gold hybrid) macaw, male, who is 23 months old. I will be bringing home a beautiful Yorkie puppy, also male, in about 1 1/2 weeks. Any suggestions on how to introduce them and encourage the macaw to be as protective of the puppy as he is of me and my son, and how to avoid developing any jealousy? I also have an 8 month old lucida pacific parrottlet but he is fairly asocial in that he likes being in the same room as people and the macaw, as long as he remains in his cage. So, I don't think the parrottlet will be a factor. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
