We've made a video! You can see it here. Separately, Happy, a young male grey cockatiel, and Honey, a young female pearl cockatiel, escaped their respective homes. They were surrendered by their rescuers to the same shelter, and their cages were set side-by-side in a poorly lit, windowless room. Day after day, week after week, no one came to claim either one of these hand-tamed, beautiful birds. Even Mickaboo, overwhelmed with birds in their foster network, couldn't take the birds in at that time. Meanwhile, Happy and Honey became fast friends. After two months of waiting, they were inseparable and less inclined to be people-friendly. So the shelter decided to contact two previous bird-parents who had outside aviaries, to see if they had room. But it was clear that these were not aviary birds. Indeed, aviary life would be a very difficult transition for birds raised inside and socialized to human attention. Finally, a Mickaboo volunteer who already had a home full of foster birds came to rescue and foster them. Since moving in, they enjoy head massages and ask for more. Honey makes a sweet cheep-peep sound when getting hers! Happy loves to sing and whistle. He eats asparagus and greens, and he loves to sit & watch the world around him. These two are so very happy together! They are both strong fliers and need their wings trimmed regularly to keep them from once again getting lost to the big, dangerous world outside. They still need a bit of gentle attention to be fully re-socialized. If you have room in your heart and home for these two sweet birds, please consider adopting Honey and Happy! Notice: Cockatiels are flock animals, and most of them are much happier when they live with at least one other cockatiel! Because of this, unless a household currently includes another cockatiel, Mickaboo usually requires that a minimum of two cockatiels be adopted. Print this page |
