I’m thinking of getting a ferret and we have a large Brazilian parrot (and a cat) that we let out only when we’re home, and when she is out she stays on her perch. I know that odds are they won’t get along, but will they kill each other? The cat and our dog (he’s not with us anymore) both learned quickly why they should avoid her. She has one hell of a beak. The cat I’m not so worried about because she never comes in my room. The bird and the cat, far from getting along, at least haven’t tried to kill each other.
