Oh I have no qualms about the dogs and the birds. I really don't worry about a dog/bird situation unless the dog is a Terrier or Hound. I can sympathize with you and the noise level. After my years of bird ownership, I've completely gotten used to the noise and I now understand what "deafening silence" means.
Have you gotten the Guide to a Well Behaved Parrot yet? It really is a priceless book. You could just check it out from the library if you don't want to buy it. It's really cheap and soooooo worth it!
