Mason, My previous ferret and I used to share a house with a black lab dog and an African grey parrot. The ferret never behaved like much of a predator, always carefully removing Japanese beetles from his water disk without harming them. While living with the African grey, the concern was more for the ferret's safety than the that of the bird. The parrot used to crawl under the couch after the ferret and knock the snot out of him. However, my new ferret Guinness is such a predator that we can't even give him toys that squeak. He becomes psycho and attacks everything, including me and the other ferret. Relations would depend on the dispositions of the animals and the size of the parrot. My vet thought a ferret and a grey were pretty well matched. Lynn [Posted in FML issue 1074]
