Hello everyone i have a couple of questions for yall!
I currently have a red headed amazon and a husky. My husky spends most of his time outside (small backyard) and my bird flies free in my room all day (besides his bed time). My dog has no access to him, he is very sweet but very big and playful and ive always been scared to have them interact. When my dog goes inside the house he is only in the living room, occasionally he will walk around the house but never into my room. I currently live with my parents (21 years old) but will eventually move out and will be taking both pets with me. I would like to have my dog be mostly an inside dog and would also like my parrot to be other places besides my room (when nobody is home and the dog is outside my bird goes around the house with me and everyday he goes in the shower with me so he can have a distraction other than my room) as well as he goes outside 2-4 times a week (depending on my schedule) to get sunlight and just a different view.
- Do yall have any other pets besides birds? If so, how do they go about the day with one another?
- Is it possible to live stress free (to a certain extent) having other pets and birds in the same house?? I ask this because i am a VERY stressful person and im over protective of my animals and think every bad situation possible so i avoid many things. My dog and bird have been in the same room and nothing bad happend (my bird being in his cage or his traveling cage but my dog was not loose when the cage was in the living room he was on a leash) my biggest thing is when he flies THAT catches my dogs attention).
- I have seen people built/buy those wood wire in home aviaries, would that be a good idea to have in the future to where my dog can be free in the house and my bird could be in the aviary and have enough room to fly/play to where i dont feel bad if i dont get to have him outside his cage all day like i do now? (Would still take him out but not as long as i do right now (8-10 hrs outside of his cage like he is in my room)
- How about cats? I am NOT a cat person, dont hate them i think they’re cute and all i just wouldn’t have a cat of my own (i ask this because my boyfriend is a cat person and i know he would love a cat (i would not nor would my dog)). Is it selfish of me to ask him to not have a cat? (ive had this conversation with him before) Is it selfish being that i only do it for the sake of my sanity and the safety of my pets? He likes dogs too but cats more. (I do understand that many cats are nice and dont bother but i just feel like no matter how nice and sweet a cat is, it is much more unpredictable than a dog would ever be or any other animal.)
Sorry for it being long and all over the place but i would really love to hear from yall!!
