Aquarium Advice Addict
Ha ha that's awesome! I do want a canary someday, it's the only realm of the animal kingdom I have not owned. I have owned tortoises, turtles,I train cats with squirt bottle. They are allowed to watch birds or fish CALMLY ! But if they go into stalking mode or obsess they get nailed !
I have birds as well as small fish tanks with dogs ( Whippets with high prey drive ) and cats.
Dogs aren't allowed to kill cats or birds.
Cats aren't allowed to attack dogs or birds or fish.
Birds and fish not allowed to party past midnight j/k
I set rules boundaries and limitations from day one. New cats aren't allowed near birds or fish except when I'm home to train. Once newness wears off and critters behave then I'll trust them more.
I try to set them up to succeed.
My Canary has landed on my dogs and my Cat by accident. They hold still til I can get him off.
dogs, cats, newts, and fish. Birds, here I come!!
