Dino the fugitive cockatoo finally recaptured in Boston after months on the lam | Daily Mail Online

When I saw the headline, even before I opened the article.... I knew which species of cockatoo it had to be Reading the story? Oh yes, this is textbook goffin style Just had to share!

Edit: Since it doesn't show in the link, the headline on the website reads: "Dino, cockatoo who annoyed upscale Bostonians with dinosaur screech, finally recaptured after months on the lam"

Glad Dino was recovered as Boston winters are frigid! Dino's support system during his adventure shows the best of human nature as others could have branded him a pest for chewing and tried to kill him.

Not surprised his only word is "no" as they can be quite bratty. Hope his owners take extra care to keep him indoors!!

I'd like to think, being a Goffin, he only came down from the trees because he felt the first few icy nights and knew fun time was over and it was time to go home. They are up there intelligence wise, very smart birds goffins are (as I'm sure you know with all yours!). I am also glad he's safe and back where he belongs.

Hahaha I can't believe it! That is hilarious! And of all the houses to chew on, he picks the birthplace of Kennedy? Lol! I am also amused by the Buddhist woman. It's sweet that she wants birds to live free, but doesn't she realize cockatoos aren't built for Boston winters? When I was living in Honduras, sure, there were wild parrots everywhere, but it's a TROPICAL local. Three feet of snow is not what cockatoos are made for, even if they would be well camouflaged. This whole story is just hilarious, especially to a Parront. It's just so PARROT LIKE.

Amazing story, thanks April . Those Goffin's sure are hardy creatures! Especially one used to living indoors. I'm surprised he survived the winter back east.

Dino seriously needs toys. Unfortunately, this shows the public that birds just live in a bare cage, as if they're a creature of low intelligence. Maybe the owner has him out all the time. Especially now, he's not going to want to go in the cage ever, after being free!

I actually kind of assumed the cage was empty because the owner brought it over to where Dino was sighted and would be transporting him back home in it. Who knows though. Sounds like the family never stopped looking for him though. Hopefully that fact means he has a relieved family who have lots of toys and treats waiting for him!
