Shemu

You can see a video all about me here from an online Mickaboo Adoption Event in January 2024.

I`m Shemu! I landed in an office as a stray 30 years ago and that nice person took me home and looked after me. Now I need a new home as my owners are moving. Yes, although I`m active, I`m about 30 years old which is right up there for a cockatiel!

had no tail when Mickaboo picked me up, but it didn`t seem to slow me down and now a couple of tail feathers have grown in - I can fly really well! My last home was a screened off courtyard where I was able to fly with lots of branches set up for me to perch on and fly between. Could you give me a nice space to fly safely too?

I am on a diet of a mix of nutri-an cake, some harrisons fine pellets, and some zupreem fruity pellets, and fresh greens clipped in my cage every day. I love to nibble on nice juicy wet green leaves. The moisture is really good for me, too. I`ll try most green leaves and variety is good!

In nature, cockatiels 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 cockatiel to a household if there is already at least one cockatiel living there. Otherwise, cockatiels must be adopted in groups of two or more.
