Cruella & Azure (and other budgies)

This is Cruella & Azure.

This is what we know about them:

Literally nothing. We know nothing about them. They were left in a trailer in Coldwater, Michigan by an actual trash heap of a human being to die. That person left them there for over two weeks with. no food or water, and by the grace of God, the neighbors heard them screaming and went and investigated and help them, and brought them to the rescue.

We have hundreds of budgies at the facility. Please, PLEASE don’t buy them from pet stores.

Age: Unknown

Sex: We have both available

Prefers: Males or Females? Unknown

Other Bird Aggressive? No.

Adoption Fee: Any donation for budgies is appreciated.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
You will agree never to breed budgies. We have a serious overabundance of them.

***Information that is universal to every bird:

1) Birds are typically not family animals. They usually choose a favorite and at best you can expect them to tolerate everyone else.

2) Birds are not great with kids, dogs, other birds, and are not cuddly with everyone, nor can they really be trained to be. Birds are flock animals, who are social creatures that need to be in a communal area where they can see the rest of the family, or you may eperience serious vocalization and behavior problems. We’ve never met a bird who is great with kids, but we have met kids who are respectful of birds.

3) Birds bite. But, you shouldn’t “take the bite”. If you’re getting bit, you haven’t earned the trust of the bird, and are pushing the bird past his/her limits. You must figure out what the bird needs, and make what you’re asking of the bird more attractive than what they are already doing.

4) Birds are not “dominance” based creatures. Your only option for birds is to earn their trust. If they are, say…on top of a cage and don’t want to come down, that is where they feel safest, not a dominance thing. They are not trying to exert dominance, they just don’t want to come down. Your job as a parrot owner is to figure out what you can do to help them trust you, and whatever you are asking to be more attractive than what they are already doing.

5) NEVER send money over the internet for adoption with any individual or organization for the adoption of an animal you have not met in person. That is almost always a scam.
