Hi, I`m Viola, a probably baby budgie and super cute! I came to Mickaboo in August 2022 via the Berkeley animal shelter. I was looking pretty poorly, so I went straight to the vet. I had a lot of gram negative bacteria so I was put on meds. I have sores on my poor feet but it looks like they should heal. Not sure the cause; perhaps it was hot asphalt before I was rescued. Stay tuned for more details!
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.
