dogs with birds?

I was wondering if there is any way to see if your dog would get along with your birds. I have a labrador who has just been desexed so she isnt aloud outside for 2 weeks, and mum thought maybe i could have my birds out while she is in the room? has anyone done this? how would you see if this worked?...

Re: Is this a good seed mix for my indian Ringneck?

Black sunflower seeds are not good for birds. Look for a mix with grey ones instead. If you bird eats lots of black ones they can make the bird over heated and they can die.
