Many people adore pets and dream of having as many animals as possible under one roof.
And if a dog and a cat can really get along together, what about a parrot?
Let's figure out what you need to pay attention to if you want to keep a parrot and a dog under the same roof.
Dog breed
A lot depends on what breed of dog you have or what kind of dog you are planning to get.
Firstly, parrots will not get along with terriers. Dogs of this breed have an irresistible instinct to hunt for everything that moves, and a parrot will be no exception.
As for herding breeds, everything is a little easier if you train your pet. Working breeds of dogs are easy to train and can be trained not to touch the bird.
Golden retrievers and Labradors are considered ideal family dogs for good reason. They get along with children and will easily make friends with a parrot.
It is important to monitor the dog's behavior. If it watches the bird, but is easily distracted from this activity, there is nothing to worry about. But if the pet watches the parrot too closely or even tries to grab it, the animals are unlikely to get along.
