Trevor and Winky
We came to Mickaboo in January 2024 from a rough situation -- we were lurking behind a rose after our owner could no longer take care of us. You could say we had cast iron for our bloodstream and ice behind our eyes, but we`re learning to trust people. We didn`t even have our own names in our previous life, which explains our collective sobriquet.

Three of us, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, have been placed in another foster home, but the four of us are still together. We still have hardened smiles, but we`re quickly learning to crave the warmth of our Mickaboo foster home. Winky enjoyed taking his first bath recently, and the rest of us tolerated getting wet. We`re experimenting with healthy food and stepping onto hands.

Please check back soon to see how we are doing.
In nature, cockatiels 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 cockatiel to a household if there is already at least one cockatiel living there. Otherwise, cockatiels must be adopted in groups of two or more.
