I have raised my cockatiel in an RV since rescuing him a little over two years ago. He was only 19 days old and it was a matter of life and death for him. In my RV are also two dogs. When I first got TD, my fiancee, myself and our two dogs had just given up our apartment to try rv'ing for several different reasons. We were living in a 30 year old, 26' RV. It had no separate bedroom. We had not expected to get a bird. For over a year I raised TD in it.
Obviously, the dogs were in close proximity to TD almost all the time. Heck, we were all in close proximity to each other almost ALL the time...especially during bad weather. Somehow, we managed, but let me stress that we took every imaginable precaution to insure that the dogs and TD were never together if TD was out of his cage. When he was a baby being hand fed every two hours I sat hunched over in the over the cab bunk as the dogs couldn't get up there on their own. Otherwise, the dogs had to be taken outside. Even though we are now in a 33' RV with a separate bedroom in the rear, we do this still. During transfer of TD from his home on the dining room table (I haven't had a table in over two years....ugh!) to the bedroom, the dogs go outside...until our double door set up is in place if the weather is bad...otherwise they stay outside. I don't ever want to have to look at one of my dogs differently for doing what a dog does naturally. It's like punishing a parrot for screaming. And, even more, I don't want TD to die.
