Thanks Wolfchan, Esster and Poppy The birdies and I are blushing!

Generally when I have them all out I keep the pups in a different part of the house. I really don't think either Tasha or Tommy would ever intentionally hurt them, but accidents can happen, especially with 3 birds and 2 dogs all flapping/running around at once. Plus I want the birds to just relax and not be nervous about a huge snuffling nose checking them out while they are exploring .

Dawn is the most used to the dogs and the most tame/humanized so sometimes when I have just her out I will let Tommy or Tasha check her out. Tasha generally cares nothing about the birds unless they flap around and then she gets excited and runs to see. Tommy is totally such a gentle soul and he backs right off if Dawn pecks at his nose for getting too close. Of course it is always under close supervision
