UPDATE: Barack is very fragile. He can walk and fly for very short distances, but he loses his balance easily and falls. He also has several physical problems, including an overgrown beak that must be trimmed periodically, recurring sinus infections, and an eye infection. I came to Mickaboo from a hoarder situation in April 2022. I had a broken leg so I went directly to the vet for care. I`m doing a little better now. However, It turns out that I am allergic to sisal, so I cannot have natural sisal perches or toys in my cage.
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.
