Shamus

Check out my feature video from one of Mickaboo`s online adoption fairs here!

Greetings! We are Shamus (gray male) and Maggie (yellow female), and we came to Mickaboo when our previous caretaker became too ill to keep us. (This happens a LOT with pets, so make sure you have plans for yours!). Our vet thinks that we might be around 10-15 years old.

We like our Zupreem Natural pellets and different veggies, especially a nice spring mix. Our foster mom feeds us twice a day (meal-feeding). When our foster mom wants to give us a treat, we like a few seeds and a small piece of nut. Yum!
We LOVE to chew and shred our toys - lots of soft wood and paper. Such good exercise for us! We also adore mist baths -- once we figure out it`s bath time, we`ll spread out our wings and wait for our foster mom to spray us more.
Human hands that try to grab or touch us are scary, but we do love attention! We like to be talked to and have people around! We`re also okay with kids as long as they`re taught not to touch us. Our foster mom has small dogs and we don`t mind them being around, either! We call that "ambient attention" in case you wondered.
Occasionally, we sing beautiful songs to each other and our whistles during the day can be loud, so we`d do best in a home where our neighbors won`t complain about our singing.
If you are looking for a pair of cockatiels to brighten your home with chatter and color, we might just be for you!

In nature, cockatiels 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 cockatiel to a household if there is already at least one cockatiel living there. Otherwise, cockatiels must be adopted in groups of two or more.
