| 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! |

| 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. | |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | 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.

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | 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

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | 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'm just going to welcome you, I don't have birds anymore, just yorkies. This is a great site but addictive, I'm not cleaning anymore, just running to the computer. |

| 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! |
