Well, sadly, Paco followed Leo outside over the holidays and didn't make it back inside the house. He passed away. It was very upsetting.

Prior to this, Ricky, Leo and Paco lived harmoniously together.

If you have faith in your pets to do the right thing and never doubt their behavior.... if you EXPECT them to act harmoniously and with positive vibrations, they will. There was never a doubt in my mind that the three of them wouldn't get along - or that Ricky (being a cat) would try to get Paco (parakeet). Therefore... it never happened and they all loved instead of antagonized one another.
