Hi, everybirdy! My name is Sunshine, and I am 16 and new to Mickaboo after my dads passed away. It’s a lot of change and confusion for a little yellow marshmallow, you know? I am not readily stepping up, and I may be afraid of hands, but not at all too afraid to accept treats directly. Yum! And did you see how CUTE I am? I am a pretty quiet and shy girl so far in foster care, but I am also fearless and brave around birds of all sizes, which is probably how I lost one of my toes. My current caretaker is opening my cage door, and mostly I stay inside by choice. Sometimes I come out when no one is looking, especially to see what’s in the other birds’ cages or just maybe sit on top of mine for a while. I make some chirps, purrs, and calls, but so far I am as quiet as I am shy. I do bite if you reach in my cage, and even if I will sometimes step up, I am eager to get away quickly, and I fly pretty well, but sometimes with no direction in mind. I have a very sweet nature with pretty blue eyes to complement my yellow plumage. I hear everyone saying I just need some time and patience to re-earn trust, and that sounds good to me, especially if you move slowly and have treats for me.
