My parrots are "free range" - they have the roam of the house. They are trained in that they return to the cage to do their business. I have an African grey, Ramses, and a sun conure, Sunny Bonbon.

I think it might be possible to get a kitten and train the kitten to respect the birds, but I would probably always worry and wonder what might happen. I know that others have done this, and believe in the kindness of nature. But I love my parrots so much I don't want to take the chance.

My dog, Dante, is a friend to the birds; he likes it when Ramses climbs on his back, he will take him for a walk around the house.
