I would recommend the average owner or person try what he does. IMO, he is giving a false sense of security in having all those animals together and loose at one time.

And notice he usually has kittens and puppies with the birds, rabbits and rodents, not adult dogs.

Trust me, I have dogs and cats that would go after those birds, rodents and yes, even the rabbits. (And I have some that would not.)

You cannot assume they are all going to get along without much work and training to get them to do so.
