Hi, I`m Russell! I came with a whole group from the SF Animal Care and Control Center. We made quite a handful! Our owner passed away, and we were covered. The EMT`s didn`t even know there were birds in the house! We had to be treated for an infection after eating dirty food and drinking dirty water during our ordeal before we were found. Now we are happy and healthy, and extremely happy to be cared for. We aren`t startled by people and are responding well to our foster parent. Won`t you consider letting me adopting me into your family?
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.
