Hi, I`m Taki. I was surrendered to Mickaboo in August 2022 by someone was moving and didn`t want to take me with them. Isn`t that sad?

I am now in a foster home and have discovered I enjoy being spritzed in the morning. Our foster parent is introducing veggies into my diet but having never seen this weird stuff (lettuce, corn, broccoli), I am definitely a bit unsure.

I am fully flighted and I am not tame, and a little bitey if my foster parent tries to handle me.

Please can you find it in your heart to take in a cute, chatty budgie?


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.
