Thank you for the responses! Micheal, it is great to see that someone else has one of these great dogs and birds to boot! So I guess with any interspecies family, I will need to keep a close eye and make sure everyone gets along. I would never leave the birds out with the dog in the same room all alone.
Thankfully both of my Caiques are dog friendly so far (they have met a few and my male likes to play with dogs) so hopefully when the time comes to get a pup, we won't have any problems! (Here's to hoping for the best, but planning for the worst!)
My parents just got a new pup also, a little male Shetland Sheepdog and so far in a multi-species household, it has been alright. They have 3 birds (2 Budgies and one parrot), 2 cats, 2 kids (younger than 10- my nieces) and the pup, and so far there has not been any issues. I am hoping that a herding dog like a Corgi would have similar results in our home.
