A few weeks ago we featured an ice cream loving dog named, Duncan. Now we’d like to introduce you to an ice cream-loving cockatiel named Buddie. Buddie lives in Attleboro, Massachusetts, with his owner, Kathy. According to Kathy, he’s a little camera shy, but he loves Turkey Hill Vanilla Bean. In fact, Kathy says “The minute the top is off, he’s already on the edge of it helping himself.”
Here’s another funny story about Buddie. For almost three years, Kathy assumed Buddie was a boy because, well, it’s sort of hard to tell the difference. But not any more. A few weeks ago, Kathy returned to the living room to find that Buddie had laid a tiny egg on her couch. On that day, Kathy changed the spelling of her cockatiel’s name from “Buddy” to “Buddie.” Congrats on the egg, Buddie…some coupons for some free Vanilla Bean are in the mail!
(NOTE: Because some dogs and other pets are prone to lactose intolerance, care should be taken when feeding your pet ice cream. Like most “people food” treats, moderation is the key. Talk to your veterinarian if you have questions about your pet’s ability to eat ice cream.)


If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
I’ve seen it all now. That must be really funny to see Buddie swooping down and perching on the edge of the container.
!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I’ll have to ask my bird-loving friends if thier birds have tried ice cream!
That picture is great. A bird that eats ice cream. Maybe because its Turkey Hill, get it! Maybe he thinks it has something to do with his family. A long lost relative!!! Enjoy Buddie!
Buddie is a really smart bird I watched a show on birds an it said birds need calcium!Great photo!What better way to get your calcium Ice cream!!!!!
