About Urkel and Rio - Bonded Budgie Duo

Meet Urkel and Rio, a charming bonded pair of 8-to-9-month-old male budgies seeking their forever family! Urkel is a gentle, sweet, and chatty soul, while Rio is an energetic and vocal character with a big personality. This delightful duo brings so much life and chatter to any room. Though not hand-raised, they are making great progress with their training and have started stepping up for millet inside their cage. They are looking for a patient and loving home that will continue to build their trust and help them thrive. Since they are a bonded pair, they must be adopted together. To make their transition seamless, they will come with a complete setup including their large cage, a playground, toys, and all of their current food. Interested adopters will be required to fill out a brief application to ensure a good match. A small rehoming fee applies.

Temperament

Urkel is a gentle, smart, sweet, and wonderfully calm little guy who can be a bit tentative at times but is incredibly chatty. Rio has a big personality in a small package; he is highly energetic, beautifully vocal, very food-motivated, and can occasionally be a little bossy and territorial. His lively antics provide endless entertainment. Both boys were not hand-raised but are making fantastic progress with socialization. They have recently started stepping up onto a finger for millet, but currently only do so inside their cage near their perches. Urkel is a bit more trusting, while Rio remains a little more suspicious of human hands.

Care Requirements

The pair comes with a complete setup including a large bird cage, a standalone bird playground for out-of-cage playtime, and a variety of toys. Their diet consists of seeds, pellets, and millet. Vitamin D powder is also included with their supplies. Training and bonding should be continued using food motivation, such as offering millet to encourage stepping up on a finger inside their cage.

Medical History

Both birds are in excellent health.

Special Needs

This is a bonded pair that must be rehomed together. They were not hand-raised and are still learning to trust humans, so they require a patient adopter willing to continue their socialization. Rio can be territorial and bossy at times.

C’est avec le cœur lourd que j’ai pris la décision de trouver une nouvelle famille pour mon adorable inséparable de 6 ans, Sushi. Les changements qu’apporte l’arrivée d’un nouveau-né ont rendu difficile le maintien d’un environnement et d’une routine adéquats pour mon oiseau. Nous ne sommes malheureusement plus en mesure de lui offrir les soins, l’attention et la présence dont il a besoin et qu’il mérite. Je cherche donc une personne ou une famille aimante et expérimentée qui pourra l’accueillir et lui offrir tout l’amour, l’affection et l’attention nécessaires à son bien-être et à son épanouissement dans son nouveau foyer. À PROPOS DE SUSHI Sushi a eu besoin de temps et de patience pour s’habituer à nous, mais il est devenu un oiseau très affectueux et attachant. Il adore se poser sur nos épaules et me laisse le prendre dans mes mains et le flatter. Il aime même se blottir dans mon cou pendant que je lui gratte doucement la tête. ❤️ SI VOUS ÊTES INTÉRESSÉ(E) N’hésitez pas à m’écrire en message privé. Les personnes intéressées seront rencontrées et évaluées afin de s’assurer que leur mode de vie et leur expérience correspondent aux besoins de Sushi. Il mérite vraiment la meilleure famille possible! ❤️ — ENGLISH SEEKING EXPERIENCED BIRD LOVING HOME FOR MY 6 YEAR OLD LOVEBIRD (with birdcage, please read) It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to re-home my beloved 6 year old lovebird Sushi. Life changes with a newborn have made it difficult to maintain an adequate standard of living for my bird, and we are no longer capable of providing the care and attention he deserves. I am looking for a loving, experienced new owner to take him in and provide him with all the love, affection and attention he needs to thrive in his new environment. ABOUT SUSHI Sushi took time and patience to warm up to us, but has become a very loving and affectionate bird. He enjoys chilling on our shoulders and allows me to hold and pet him in my hands, and even cuddle with him nuzzled in my neck as I give him head scratches. IF INTERESTED Please send a message. Interested potential owners will be vetted for lifestyle compatibility and experience, Sushi deserves the best!
