Fairlight
Hi, I`m Fairlight. I was surrendered to the Santa Cruz shelter in April 2022, with a few of my budgie buddies. The shelter called Mickaboo and my buddies and I went straight to the vet to be checked out and treated if necessary. I checked out healthy and am now in a Mickaboo foster home, anxiously awaiting my forever home. Maybe with you? BTW, I just had a bath in my photo, so i look a little watered down! :)
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.
