Goldie
Say hello to Goldie, a bright-eyed little budgie who is ready to steal your heart! Goldie recently came to Mickaboo after being found as a stray and brought into the Peninsula Humane Society. PHS asked Mickaboo to take her in after the stray hold was up, as she has something wrong with her left leg. While she’s had a bit of a rough start, this resilient little bird is already showing everyone what a sweet soul she is.

Goldie appears to be very young and is currently a little underweight, but she is stable, alert, and taking everything in stride. She does have an issue with her left leg, but she’s currently in care and getting a full vet check to see exactly how we can help her heal.

Despite her leg trouble, Goldie’s youthful spirit shines through. She is a brave little trooper who is looking forward to gaining some weight, getting strong, and eventually finding a forever flock to call her own.
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.
