MazyAK Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 wiganmarg255: Welcome to our family . Sounds like you have a sneaky one. As far as the dog and bird go you should leave swipper in the cage with door closed when the dog is in the room. It'll give them a chance to orient with each other. Then if swipper is out the dog should be in another place. It seems the dog is jealous and could see the bird as an emotional threat. I'd be careful having them both out in the same room. In time they will come to their own understanding. It requires patience and lots of time on your behalf. # weeks is a short period of time , too short to subject the bird or the dog to each other in the open. Good luck Bruce & Mazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
