When the birds passed away I never got another bird. My yorkie was then 3 years old. Now this very same girl when she was 5 years old would play peek a boo on my bed with my niece's ferret when my niece would come to visit , she was a very sweet and gentle baby, but I would never trust her around birds. Just my personal experience with yorkies and birds. |
Thank you for sharing your experience, matese! It definitely is the wing movement that gets Trupa going. If the birds are just sitting on their tree, she doesn't may much attention to them. But heaven forbid one of them flies...all bets are off!
It's interesting that your girl can "play nicely" with a ferret!
Our plan is to not replace any of our birds or my guinea pig when they pass on. Our next pet will be a dog. And we're so crazy about Trupa, that I'd be willing to bet it's going to be a Yorkie.
