Hi, I`m Lucille. I flew into the yard of my rescuers in between Bass Lake and North Fork, CA. Yes, I`m a little off the beaten path as a foster, but there are bird-peeps everywhere who will step up to protect us littles when they can. I`m very shy right now. I`m eating the seeds and throwing the pellets out of my bowl. I haven`t yet touched the veggies in my cage. I`m not happy when hands come inside my cage but I am definitely flighted and get out of the way right quick! I`m alone right now, but my foster parent is playing budgie sounds to keep me happy until I can be with a feathered friend. With a little love and training, I hope to be an amazing budgie companion. Maybe YOUR budgie companion?
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.
