Hi, I`m Mando, the darker blue guy on the left. I was surrendered to Mickaboo in July 2022 with my pal Grogu. Sadly, I am living in a single cage due to a potentially cancerous tumor. I am in hospice care and housed in a smaller cage as I have difficulty balancing & getting around to reach the food and water bowl. I get to eat anything I want, per doctor`s orders. I am hand tame and will perch on my foster parent`s hand for millet.
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.
