Oh yeah Leo and Tweety get along well! Tweety is 23 and Leo is 8. Leo grew up around him and will not attack him.
Lots of opossums here in Texas. They kinda scare me. Good for you to help one out though! How do you use an animal in ministry? I donโt think Iโve ever seen that. Sounds interesting!
I had no idea cockatiels lived so long!
You must doing everything just right.
That must be nice to be able to let your bird out when the cat's around.
Opossums try to scare because they aren't very good fighters or fast enough to run away. Mine still growls real low like a ferocious dog if I startle her. It's hard to believe that such a growl can come from a sweet little fluff ball. If God didn't make them that way, they'd all get eaten very young and become extinct.
I've worked with rescues that learned their individual names, hand signals and a vocabulary of commands faster than any dog.
It takes a lot of work and starting young, proper training of the right ones. Then they can be exposed to others. They aren't all candidates for that.
The Lord has provided hundreds of species of animals to take to major events, schools, park programs, churches, assisted living, convalescent homes, talk shows to share God's creation with the world. God opened doors to share His glory and grace through what He has made.
