Yesterday was a very long day for us.  We travelled to Holland, Michigan to visit my wife’s maternal grandmother and aunts.  While there we also picked up yet another new pet — a Goffin’s cockatoo named Frosty.  Below are a few photos of this beautiful bird.  We have never had a bird like this before and are just trying to acclimate him to his new home while also becoming familiar with his habits.

I am worried about the reaction to this new pet from our golden retriever, Champ.  Hopefully we’ll succeed in training him to be calm and friendly around Frosty.
