My small issue is that I have a red-rumped parakeet who I take out once in 
awhile.  That sort of thing takes a lot of patience and time before your dog 
chooses not to try and eat him!  I did it though!

I had canaries. All of the guides would stand and watch the birds. The birds 
were a little nervous when a new dog came in, and the dogs would pace back 
and forth as the bireds flitted back and forth across their cages. They all 
adjusted in time.
