Bingo

I`m Bingo, a male Lord Derby`s parakeet -- though you can call me a Derbyan, or, if you`re feeling particularly reverent, "Feathered Aristocrat Extraordinaire." I flitted into this safe haven that is Mickaboo just as 2025 was shaking off its New Year`s hangover. At the moment, I`m lounging at a veterinary hospital, sipping the cocktail of recovery and rediscovering my inner pizzazz after a decidedly bumpy past. But don`t worry -- I`ll be ready for my grand debut soon.

We Derbyans hail from the distinguished Psittacula lineage, sharing a genealogical handshake with the Afro-Indian Ringnecks. Our species name tips its feathered hat to Edward Stanley, the 13th Lord of Derby -- a man so renowned that even his name evokes the sound of a fanfare. And let`s not beat around the birdcage: we`re gorgeous. My plumage whispers "exotic elegance," while my bright orange beak proudly announces, "Yes, indeed, this fine fellow is male."

In the pet world, we`re as rare as a vegan barbecue -- sought after, singular, and almost mythical. In fact, I might just be the first Derbyan Mickaboo`s ever had the honor to host. Royalty doesn`t just walk in every day, you know.

Right now, I`m busy shedding the baggage of my past like molted feathers, but I`m optimistic. With some good old-fashioned care, a sprinkle of patience, and a dollop of behavior work, I`ll soon be strutting my Derbyan stuff at full throttle. If you think your home is fit for a bird of noble plumage and impeccable charm, reach out to Mickaboo`s Ringneck Coordinator. My future kingdom awaits!
