Hi, I`m Wicky and I came from a surrender of about 22-24 budgies. I`m splay-legged, but I move just fine in a standard cage setup. All of us were a little flighty upon arrival, but we soon settled in. We are not used to being handled, but are food motivated. Once we felt comfortable, we started coming down to eat as soon as our new food dishes arrive. We even continue to eat as Foster Mom changes our cage papers! We are eating Roudybush pellets and seed, and enjoy romaine and kale (not so much though). We will also investigate wet parsley. We enjoy playing with and chewing toys (especially the balsa ones that are Mickaboo-made). We are endlessly curious, and have managed to explore anything new added to our house. We came to Mickaboo without names, and now are named individuals with distinct personalities and are looking for our forever homes.... maybe with you?
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.
