When my kids were young I let them get two hamsters that were kept in a 20 gallon aquarium that sat on a stand. Our Shih Tzu was so upset about those critters it drove him up the wall. I guess he thought they were intruders as he was always very protective of the family. He stressed over those hamsters day and night. Unless we let him sit on a chair in front of the aquarium so he could watch them he would whine and cry constantly. Finally we gave them away because it was upsetting him so much. I guess you could train your dog to accept the birds. It would take time and patience. Best wishes on this one. |
