If I let them out she would leap at the cage, if they were in their cage she would sit under the cage and salivate. YES, she wanted to kill the birds. 3 years later I got yorkie # 2, same thing. The birds were not allowed out of their cages after getting my first yorkie. When the last bird died that was it for me and birds. As they got older they never bothered with the wild birds that came to my feeder. My adopted boy Cody goes crazy when he sees birds and would kill one if he ever got it. African Grey's live for years. X-pen is a great idea. I would not let the bird out of it's cage, these yorkies are fast, you may not be lucky the next time your bird falls. |
Yeah, my thing is she is such a little cute dog...never imagined this this way....but I will not put my greys life in danger....I think my little grey will just have to live in his bird room with his tree perch...I have 2 other cockatiels but they dont go out of their cage much...its just my grey...thanks for your thoughts
