Hi, I`m Frances. I came to Mickaboo from the Santa Cruz shelter in June 2021. I sure like to fly! I even escaped when I was being transferred to a carrier at the shelter. I came in from the shelter with budgie Bear, but he got adopted, and I now share a cage with my friend Lily. I am a quiet budgie and coy with humans and will hide If I think my human might be thinking of touching me. I am not into fruits and veggies but happily eat my Nutri-An cakes that my foster parent gets from the vet. I`m a sweet girl and my cute budgie sounds might be just the right match for YOUR forever home?
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.
