Mischievous Goffin's

Postby allpetbirds » Wed Apr 13, 2011 2:01 pm

I just found this old photo of my Goffin's and I thought I'd share it.

He can be so mischievous!

This is a photo from when I lived with my parents. We had a Cockatiel named Lex and Goffie liked to sneak over and eat Lex's food.

One time, I found him completely inside Lex's cage just chowing down! We had to put twist ties on Lex's cage doors--not because the Cockatiel would get out, but because the Cockatoo would get in! :)

Absolutely adorable Cockatoo :)
I'm curious how they gone along together: Cockatoo and Tiel?

Thanks!

I don't think they got along so well, though. Goffie is such a cuddly sweetheart with us... but he's a big bully to other birds.

One time, I don't remember how, but Goffie bit off part of one of Lex's toes :shock: I didn't bring them anywhere near each other after that. :(
