Attack of the caiques!

[Julianna]

I've heard a lot of people say their caiques attack other pets, and Pippi definitely fits this stereotype. She jumps on top of my rabbit whenever she gets the chance and our cat is completely terrified of her. She's showed a lot of interest in the dog, too, but I've been pretty good with keeping them separated, since I'm afraid my dog would just chomp her. Has anyone else had this problem, and does anyone have advise on how to get a caique used to other animals? My rabbit is out almost all the time, and she spends most her time in the same area of the house as Pippi, so I was hoping they would get along. As far as I can tell, there's no chance of that. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Meiko will attack my German shepherd!! She's 65 lbs!! I've been siting with him on the floor and having the dog sit next to us and just giving them both treats so long as they are behaving. It seems to be working.. How did your trip go, by the way?

I don't think they realize how small they are. Maybe I'll try that. With a treat, anything is possible. The trip was great, but I worried about pippi the whole time. I'm so paranoid.
