Hatch Date: 2021

Sunny is a young female budgie, approximately 1 year old.  Skye is a bit shy and will need a patient caregiver. 

When Sunny is in the same room with her foster mom, she leaves her cage door open for her to come out.  She is not comfortable being outside of her cage yet, but if she does come out and get too far away from the cage, she is willing to get on foster mom’s finger to be put up by the cage.  Other than that, she is not finger-tamed.

Herwings are clipped to keep her safe when flying outside of her cage. She hasn't shown any cage aggression when herfoster mom puts her hand inside the cage.

Mornings start around 6:30AM.   She likes to hop around her cage and play with some of her toys.  She enjoys listening to music and chitter with her brother all day long.

Once the lights go out in her room (around 8:30-9PM), she is usually quiet till morning.   The top of the cage is covered to offer her a “safe” area in the cage since the cage faces the outside.  She does seem to enjoy looking out and seeing the activity of the outside birds. 

Foster mom is working on giving her a more varied diet than just seeds. She enjoys spinach leaves and whole grain bread cut up in quarters and clipped to the cage.  She periodically gets a millet sprig as a treat.  This encourages her to come out and look to see if there’s a special treat waiting.   Foster mom has not yet seen her eat the carrot, orange, broccoli, apple, or grapes which were offered. But she keeps trying.  She will occasionally take a bath in their water bowl.

She is a sweet companion bird, but if you want her to be hand tame and hang out on you, you will need to have patience and be willing work with her. Sunny would be happy being in a home with another female budgie to hang out with. If you enjoy the happy sounds of birds and enjoy his being around, she will make a wonderful addition to a calm household.  She is being fostered in Leonardo, NJ and will only be adopted to someone that is willing to drive to do the required visits. We will NOT ship our birds.
