Puppy vs Bird

What do you do when you have a puppy who wants to play or eat your bird? She sits at the bottom of the cage (on the floor) while I am talking and petting the bird. THen she starts to whimper, so is she whimpering because she wants my attentio, she wants to play with the bird, or because the bird looks like chicken? She has already jumped up to the cage pushing it with her paws which reaked Binx out. Binx immediately got on my hand and let me put her on my chest to chill out. Kai now is very soft when she hops up on the cage. Kai also is right there if the bird decides to fly, I have to push her away, so I can rescue the bird. THen Binx took off again. I know she can fly to the curtains up high but for some reason she likes to fly to the floor now, I think that Binx is tempting fate. The other day KAi started barking, which is very rare. Usually, she only barks when she hears the doorbell, a door open or shut, or at the fence when a dog goes by that she wants to play with. I know that barking could mean that she thinks she is chasing away an intruder, but I know she wants to play because her tail is wagging. Anyway, she was barking and none of the above had happened, so I went to check it out. Kai was staring at Binx's cage and barking. Of course, I rushed right in to find Binx hanging off the bottom of the cage. Binx climbed up fast to the top, but I cannot help but think that Binx was luring Kai to come closer. I am not sure what the outcome would be but knowing BInx, I am pretty sure Kai would have a sore nose. I guess Kai was letting me know that Binx was not where she should be, up on the top of the cage. I am hoping that this works out, that Kai respects the bird. I know Binx knows how to whistle for the dog. I know that Binx is jealous of the dog, I am just worried that BInx will try to distribute her feeling of justice and become lunch for the dog.
