Don't let my pale blue and grey plumage fool you: I'm a keet on fire! I'm lively and energetic and just so excited about everything's that's going on around me. After my buddy Wasabi and me were dropped off at a shelter by our former owners, things looked pretty dim for a while. And this whole foster business was kind of intimidating at first, being in a strange house, in a strange cage. So I just sat around for a few days and was pretty depressed and didn't know what would happen. Then our foster mom started to leave the cage open a few hours every day. I couldn't believe it - why would she do that?? But after a few days, I started climbing out and using my wings for the first time in a long time. Oh boy! Things didn't go so well at first - I had forgotten how you land and kind of crashed around a bit. But I learned quickly, and then flying was so much fun! And all of a sudden things took off there were so many toys, and I just love to chew on stuff and shred it to little bits! And all kinds of different foods. Didn't want to touch the rice and veggies and pellets at first - what was that stuff? But after a few weeks, we got to meet some other budgies who seemed to really like it, so I thought, hey why not, and now I eat a whole bunch of different things. Of course, meeting all these other guys was also a challenge ? I felt I had to prove myself, and some might say perhaps I bullied some people a little. But who wouldn't - it's all so exciting, being out and about and in a flock and with lots of stuff to chew to bits! Cholla perches, pieces of wood, dried palm fronds. I'll play with all that I can get my beak on. I'd love a home with lots of room and toys to play with and some friends to hang out with. How about it?
