my 5 month old budgie is the head of my household. he has just completly taken over, what he wants, he gets. most of the time the first thing he does when he is let out of his cage is fly straight to Misty(dog) and start attacking one paw till she moves it away, he them moves to her next paw till she is sitting, then he walks under her and starts attacking her back paws one at a time..my poor alpha dog is terrified of the creature the size of her paw lol he has also taken over my rabbit and guinea pigs pen. after tormenting Misty, he proceedes to fly into the rabbits pen, gaurd their food, play with their hay and if they get anywhere near they get an attack to the nose. lol mind you my Rabbit beats up on my dogs too, the finniest thing ever was when Kari(bunny) got into a fight with Blair(dog twice bunnys size) and Kari won.. lol
