Hi, I`m Doc. 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 directly to the vet to be checked out and treated if necessary. I have a clean bill of health and am now at a Mickaboo foster home. Looking for my forever home - maybe with you?
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.
