Biography
I`m one of 17 birds rescued from a rough situation in January of 2025. I am the blue female in the photo. I`ve settled into my foster home, where I have been described as happy and active. Our budgie cohort is learning to get used to people`s hands, but we are still a little upset by them in our space. My new parent says I love to eat, and may need to go on a diet. If you`re interested in helping me, I`d love a chance to brighten your home!
In nature, parakeets (budgerigars) live in large flocks. A single bird in a cage spends much of his/her life being lonely because humans have things they must do that take them away. We therefore will only adopt a single parakeet to a household if there is already at least one parakeet living there. Otherwise, parakeets must be adopted in groups of two or more.
