Yorkies & Cockatiels Hi all! This is my first time posting & I'd really like to know if anyone has both birds & a Yorkie. I have 5 Cockatiels and come Sunday, I will have a 2-3 year old Yorkie that someone doesn't want anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice they'd like to give? I'm listening and thank you! |
Hi! welcome to yt! ummm my friend has a macall and quakers who live with her yorkies. the quaker parrot doesnt have alot to do with the dogs, but the macall gets right on the floor with them. it's really neat to hear her stories about them. i dont know anything about birds, but just wanted to let you know that i do know of someone who has birds and dogs living together...good luck! |

I have a Yorkie and a Cockateil (Aussie). The only advice I have is don't let your dog eat your bird. Trixie would snatch Aussie up in a minute if she had the chance. On the other hand, I had a parakeet for a long time, got a puppy (a Beagle-Rotweiler mix...hunting in that blood) and the dog loved the bird...let him drink out of his bowl, bite his ears. I guess it depends on the dog. Good luck. |

None of my babies are caged. They do have their own room though (it used to be my bedroom but I took the smaller one with the view of the house next door). Works well though cause I spend more time in their room than I ever did when it was my bedroom! I don't know why this lady doesn't want her Yorkie anymore. I know she has 2 other dogs but that's about it. All my Cockatiels came from unwanted homes too. |
I have 3 yorkies and a parakeet. The bird isn't fond of the yorkies and the yorkies look like they want to nibble on the bird. But, Rex's cage is up high enough that I don't have to worry about him. |

Good luck :) |
i dont have any birds i really think it depends on the dog and if its raised with them if brownie got ahold of a outside bird he would eat it |
We had our cockatiel "Jolly" long before we got our furkids, she rides on Dounia's (lab) back, she loves Chelsey and talks to her a lot, she calls the dogs for me, but shes not fond of Chanel at all, Chanel tried to nibble at her once, so now when Jolly is out of her cage, i carry Chanel in my frontcarrier so i can watch her lol Just be careful with your furkids and the bird, i think its instinct to hunt them, they will get used to the bird ;) |
2 Attachment(s) Do these answer your question? Our birds and dogs get along great. We've never had a problem with any of them. My wife advises to start out slow, though. Introduce the birds one at a time, and give all the animals a chance to calm down between introductions. |

I dont have birds, we have hamsters and 1 yorkie. I wanted to welcome you to our Yorkie family. :) |
We have a cockatiel and a quaker, my yorkie wants to eat him and barks and them all the time.... I think he would eat them if he got a chance... I take the quaker out a lot trying to get him used to him.... I just am very careful! |
