Kiwi & Charlie

*** This bird is currently on our Waitlist and is with their current owner. It may be possible to visit and adopt this bird prior to it being moved to a foster home. Please keep in mind that birds on the Waitlist may not have had a veterinary visit. Their owners may or may not be caring for the bird at EBR minimum standards of care.***

Owner Said: Very Bonded. Few dislikes! Neither like bananas or strawberries. They get very excited when music is playing and will sing along. They love Barry Manilow, but will sing and play with each other whenever music is playing. Whenever they hear birds singing outside, they will chirp back to them. Daily routine has generally just been changing water and food, and swapping out some toys. They are very curious and will investigate anything new together. They love watching movies. They go crazy for spinach and carrots, their chins will be orange/green after stuffing their little faces so fast. Kiwi (green parakeet), if asked to find Charlie (blue parakeet), will go to wherever she is and will look at you afterward expectantly for a treat. No fear of vacuums or blenders! They will sing loudly whenever a vacuum is used near them

Owned said update 10-8-24 :
A fun story about them is they really enjoy zoom calls! I took most of my college courses over zoom, and they started recognizing my professors voice and would start singing loudly whenever she was talking! They also enjoy watching movies, Kiwi (the green one) watched almost all of Thor: Ragnarok with me from their cage. She was fascinated.
