Vassar M (aviary bird)
Hello, I`m Vassar, a guy budgie with pale wings and back spots. I was surrendered to Mickaboo with 6 of my budgie brothers and sisters in December 2020. I am an aviary bird and a typical budgie; I fly around and chatter with my flock mates and generally just be a budgie. I may or may not be pictured in the photo, there`s sadly a lot of aviary budgies currently being fostered by Mickaboo volunteers, and it`s difficult to take a photo of only one!
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.
