Adopted on 2022-06-30
Hi! I`m Icarus, a male budgie who came to Mickaboo in from the Sacramento shelter in February 2022. I am settled into a foster home. I run up to my foster mom whenever she brings in fresh water. I like to dip his beak in for that first drink and beat all the other foster budgies to it! I don`t mind the dogs who scavenge around outside my cage, but you might want to keep and eye on me, I might be a little TOO comfy around them. But I`m ready for a forever home, if you`re ready for me!
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.
