I had a Cockatiel and a Bee Bee parrot for several years, clipped their wings, let the out of their cages when I was home. I had a poodle at that time, the poodle was GREAT with the birds, she would let the birds walk on her back, let them pluck her fur, she was very gentle with birds. Then I got my first yorkie, she would sit under their cages and salivate over them. There was no more letting the birds out, my yorkie would have killed them I am sure. I think it was the fluttering of their wings that would incite the yorkie. That yorkie turned out to be the most gentle, sweetest dog that LOVED to play hide and seek with my niece's ferret. Since I have had yorkies 35+ years I have never gotten any more birds.
