There are some environmental penalties, such as scat mats or snappy trainers, that some people use to discourage dogs from going up on counters or couches, or even near bird cages, but it's always safer just to contain the birds away from any predatory or "birdy" dogs.

 

And please don't make the mistake of thinking that just becuase your dog is small and cute that it has no prey drive. Both my poodles are wired for sound when it comes to birds , mice, rats.... and i just don't trust them

 

So true - and I could prove it if my little Fergie was still in possession of her hearing and eyesight.  She weighs six pounds, and was, for most of her life, very predatory;-)  I would not have given a plug nickel for the future of any little verminous creature small enough to fit in her mouth.
