Tennessee M (aviary bird)
Hi, I`m Tennessee, the bright green, yellow headed budgie on the left, hanging out with my buddy Idaho. I was part of a flock of 32 budgies who were surrendered when their owner died. We all lived in an outdoor aviary, so I`m definitely not tame. But if you`ve got an aviary in need of a budgie (or 12), I`m your guy!
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.
