We came into Mickaboo as part of a group of seven cockatiels called the Seven Screaming Diz-Busters, named after the epic Blue Oyster Cult song on their second album, "Tyranny and Mvtation." We came to Mickaboo in January 2024 from a rough situation -- we were lurking behind a rose after our owner could no longer take care of us. You could say we had cast iron for our bloodstream and ice behind our eyes, but we`re learning to trust people. We didn`t even have our own names in our previous life, which explains our collective sobriquet.

Five of us have been placed in other foster homes, but the two of us are still together. We still have hardened smiles, but we`re quickly learning to crave the warmth of our Mickaboo foster home. We`ve learned to like bathing and nibbling at geens, and are experimenting with stepping onto hands.

Please check back soon to see how we are doing.
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.
