This is a little bit off topic but we just got a parakeet from a family off of Craigslist that did want her anymore. I was reading up on possibly rescuing another and I noticed that an exotic bird rescue in Oregon absolutely will not place any of their birds in a home with a "terrier type dog - no exceptions". My dog, Mouse has never shown and aggression toward Bernice (parakeet). I have never left them alone together but I have let Bernice climb all over Mouse and they have sat next to each other without any issues. He smells her and then ignores her. Bernice's buddy (before we adopted her) was actually eaten by a black lab. |
