Beagle question

[doggiemommy]

I wouldn't let one out of the cage while I wasn't home (for reasons other than the dog...I know someone who had a pet bird that they kept loose, and one day they opened the door and the bird flew out, never saw it again). I know my beagle would be interested in the birds, but she would never try to knock their cages over or anything like that. She might chase one that was loose though...however, I sincerely doubt that she could actually catch one.

I need to know if having a beagle would work out with having birds. Would the beagle go after my birds or does it just depend on the individual dog? Is a beagle not the type of dog to get with having birds? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks for reading!!

My dogs would go after them. You would have to be very careful and ensure allot of training and excersie. You can check with the rescues about a beagle living with small animals.
