We are picking up my son's conure this afternoon. We have two dachshunds. I have read that saliva from birds can kill a parrot? Kaleeko (conure) will be staying in my son's room, which is upstairs. Our dogs generally hang out on main level or in basement (they have crates in basment). Any tips on keeping both dogs and bird in same home? Is it true that the dogs cannot even go near the cage? The cage is low enough the dogs could jump up on it and sniff the bird - so even doing that could kill the bird? Should we keep them seperated at all times?
