Dog Pet Bird
October 5th, 2008
What kind of dog is okay/good to have around pet birds?
I am very familiar with birds but not very experienced with dogs. As a child, I had 3 dogs (mixed species) who were really good around our birds. However, as an adult, I have never had a dog around my birds. I’d like to get a dog someday and prefer bigger dogs than little dogs. If anyone can help answer this question, I would truly appreciate it. Thanks!
It really depends on the dog, not the breed. But as someone said earlier, get a young dog, so it can grow up getting used to being around them. Or get one that is already used to birds. No matter what you get, you will have to keep a close eye on them at all times for a while, til they are used to each other. German shepherds are really smart, obedient, and easily trained. I have a german shepherd, and 10 birds, they all get along great. My birds have the run of the house during the day, and I often find them curled up on the floor with my dog asleep together. I am very fortunate in this way. Whatever you choose to get though, just be careful. And introduce them slowly.
