My Story

Hello everyone! My foster mom said it's time to update my bio so I can get adopted!!We went to the avian vet to get a checkup and the band on my leg says that I am probably 26 years old - wow! But I don't need any medications, so that's good!I enjoy getting gentle scritches when my foster mom scoops me up out of my cage. I'll hang out with you if I have a toy to chew on.I've been eating Roudybush (nibles size) and a seed mix with greens - I really enjoy the spinach mix from Trader Joe's. And of course, I get my millet treat in the evening before bed :)I'm pretty vocal, but not like some annoying creatures! I whistle to communicate with my mirror or the birds in the other room. I love to chew on millet stalks and willow toys. My wing feathers have come in kind of wonky, so I cannot fly, though I can flutter if I need to from a small height.Because I cannot fly, my cage is a specially set up flight cage (30" long x 21" deep with 1/2" bar spacing) with an elevated floor so that I won't fall if I decide to get on a perch.Short version: I'm a sweet older guy who will sing and nibble and enjoy occasional scritches if you'll take me as I am for the rest of my life!You can see more about me at https://mickaboo.org!
