Bird chatter and dog confusion

Our animals have their quirks and preferences, and just like with people, miscommunications can occur. Recently, things got a little tricky between my dog and a bird I was pet-sitting, so I reached out to Suzy Godsey.
My dog Punzi (short for Rapunzel) is no stranger to exotic birds. Over the years, she has met several large parrots that were rescued during hurricanes. So, when I agreed to house sit a green-cheeked conure named Molly, I thought Punzi would be fine with the situation.
We did all the sensible things. Molly came to our place for a visit, and we went to her house a few times; these introductions went smoothly.
Once Molly came to stay, with her big cage, tree stand, and water fountain, however, my dog clearly wasn’t happy. Punzi was more intense than I expected; it worried me enough to have a session with Suzy.
With Suzy’s help, I made it clear to both of them that this was a temporary visit. Reassured that Molly would go home in a few sleeps, Punzi calmed down a lot.
But she still struggled with Molly’s noise. That bird has a chirp like a smoke detector with a dying battery, and Punzi did not like it! (Neither did I, to be honest.) My neighborhood is a busier place than Molly was used to. Seeing all the activity from the windows often set her off, and that girl can scream!
Suzy gave me the tool of expanding my energy and reminding Punzi that it was just how Molly communicates. Simultaneously, I let Molly know that she was safe and cared for, and could she please talk more quietly?
Overall, things worked out, but it was not an ideal situation. Looking back, I didn’t ask Punzi if it was ok to house sit, I just assumed. Suzy’s session and the tools she gave, especially being present and creating an energy that was relaxing for both animals, made a huge difference.
