Now that the comics have answered, I will give you the real one. YES, bonds trade on the NYSE and have done so since 1914.
But it is only a minority of bonds. You will find corporate bonds and of course the bond ETFs (SHY, TLT, AGG, TIP, LQD, HYG, MBB).
Since bond-trading is so decentralized, you will find the trading spread over other exhanges but mostly where you will find it transacted is between banks and brokers and individuals.

Yes — but most of the bonds that trade at the NYSE are small lot retail trades. Most of the trading in bonds are institutional trades done over the counter by dealers.
The NYSE just replaced their old Bond Trading system with a new one today. The link about is is below.

No. Just stock. That’s why they call it the New York STOCK Exchange.
