As you have came here asking a question and basically got slammed,
instead of people trying to help you, please sift through the answers
that were given you and use this info to your advantage. If it were
constructive criticism you rec'd, I would say accept it, but this type
of criticism serves no purpose.
We all make mistakes and have bad judgement sometimes in our lives, but
at least you came here seeking answers. I commend you for that.
With time and patience your bird and dog will live together in harmony
too. Good luck.
