Georgie Boy

I`m Georgie Boy! I was found in the Sacramento foothills and surrendered to Mickaboo in September 2022. I like people and sprigs of millet, and especially people who offer me sprigs of millet! I`m hand-tame. Wherever I came from, I was a pet. I was desperately hanging around the back yard of some nice people who were on vacation. Luckily, their yard is a paradise for wild birds, so I was able to find what I needed. The pet nanny saw me, and when the couple came home, they wooed me with millet sprigs. I couldn`t resist, and I finally flew to the man`s hand for my treats. I`m now with a foster mom and she says I am a very pretty boy -- with cornflower-blue plumage, almost lavender. I mumble quietly sometimes, and my foster mom thinks she has heard me say a few words, mimicking the chatty Senegal and Caique in another room. I also sing very happily every morning, and again in the late afternoon. Want a friendly, cute, hand-tame guy to be your true "blue" friend? Call my coordinator and ask for Georgie Boy.

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.
