Hi Candy. It sounds like Woody is a lucky little fella. Yes, they can get very attached to us, especially if they are the only bird in the home. They are so very flock oriented, wanting to do everything with their flock, so we must be the replacement for that flock. It sounds like you have done a very good job of being Woody's flock. They can be very jealous and possessive of us. However, they can also learn to live in relative harmony with other pets in the home so long as we always exercise extreme caution and always keep bird safety in mind at all times. My suggestion would be first, don't allow the dog in the same room with Woody unless you are also there. I think the procedure for integrating a new bird into a home with a resident bird can be applied in this situation as well. When we bring in a new bird, the best thing is to always greet the resident bird first, uncover the resident bird first in the morning, (if you use covers), tend his needs first, play with him first. At the end of the day reverse it. For example we cover the newest bird first, cover and do our goodnight ritual with our resident bird last. That enforces the resident bird's place in the pecking order of our flock. You are flock leader and Woody is second. He must be shown that his place is not going to be taken over by that new member, feathered or not. Spend time with Woody as you normally would, then put him safely back in his cage and let him observe you spending some time with the dog. Then take the dog from the room and spend some more time with Woody. When he has ample time to realize the dog is not going to have any affect on his status or take over his place in your affections, he will most likely be just fine with it. It's hard to say how long it may take since it will depend on how jealous Woody is and how strongly he resists an addition to the flock. Be patient and consistent and I'm confident it will work for you, eventually. Hope this helps but it you have more questions, just let me know. Patricia
