Hello, I`m Smith. I was surrendered with 6 of my budgie brothers and sisters. I am an aviary bird, not much is known about me. But if you`re looking to form an aviary with chatty, enjoyable budgies, I`m your guy! (I may or may not be pictured in the photo, there`s sadly a lot of aviary budgies currently being fostered by Mickaboo volunteers, and it`s difficult to take a photo of only one!)
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.
