Frosty

Posted on by

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.

    So what's the verdict? Will Champ & Frosty be life-long pals?

    Hi Char,

    Thanks for your comment. To answer your question, well, let's just say they
    are fine as long as one or the other is securely behind bars!!! We have
    trained Champ to go into his crate whenever we let Frosty out of his cage,
    and otherwise Frosty stays safely inside when Champ is free to roam.
