Bubbles (to be adopted with his friends Cherry and Pika)

Bubbles is a friendly male Pied Cockatiel. It didn't take him long to settle into his foster home, and he is already comfortable stepping up onto his foster mom's hand. He enjoys coming out of his cage and spending time with his people.<br/><br/>Bubbles is good friends with Cherry and Pika, and the three must be adopted together. They enjoy spending time together on top of their cage, softly singing and hanging out with one another. They also like to fly around the room for exercise and will occasionally forage on the bottom of their cage, a natural behavior for cockatiels.<br/><br/>Bubbles eats a healthy diet of chop and pellets and especially enjoys a big piece of leafy greens with breakfast. Seeds are a favorite treat!<br/><br/>Bubbles, Cherry, and Pika are adoptable as a trio for a fee of $250.<br/><br/>About the species: Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) are the smallest members of the cockatoo family and are among the world's most popular companion parrots. Native to the grasslands, scrublands, and open woodlands of Australia, they are recognized by their slender crest, long tail, and expressive personalities. While wild cockatiels are primarily gray with yellow faces and orange cheek patches, decades of responsible aviculture have produced a variety of beautiful color mutations commonly seen in companion birds.<br/><br/>Known for their gentle, affectionate nature, companion cockatiels often enjoy spending time with their people and may whistle, chirp, or learn to mimic simple sounds and tunes. Although they are generally quieter than many larger parrot species, they are active, social birds that benefit from daily interaction, enrichment, and opportunities to exercise both physically and mentally. Like all cockatoos, cockatiels produce a fine feather dust (powder down) that helps maintain their plumage, so regular cleaning, good air circulation, and HEPA air purifiers can be beneficial in the home.<br/><br/>With proper care, companion cockatiels commonly live 15–25 years, with some living even longer, making them a meaningful long-term commitment. <br/><br/>Because of their intelligence, activity level, and strong social nature, companion parrots benefit from daily interaction, mental stimulation, and opportunities for exercise both inside and outside their enclosure. To promote healthy movement and comfort, PEARL requires adopters to provide a cage that is at least 1.5 times the bird's adult wingspan in width, depth, and height, with larger enclosures always encouraged. This standard is based on the bird's ability to comfortably extend and flap its wings while inside the cage.<br/><br/>Interested in Adopting? Visit PEARL's website to complete an adoption application and register for a Standards of Care class. After completing the class, a PEARL Adoption Counselor will meet with you to learn more about your home and help identify the companion parrot or parrots that may be a good fit for you. Adoption fees vary by species, and adopters are required to provide a PEARL-approved cage appropriate* for the parrot or parrots they adopt.<br/><br/>*NOTE: Our foster families understand the habitat needs of the PEARL parrots in their care, and some parrots may have individual housing considerations beyond the standard cage requirements. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM PURCHASING A CAGE BEFORE MEETING WITH A PEARL ADOPTION COUNSELOR. Your counselor will help you select an appropriate cage for the parrot or parrots you hope to welcome into your home.
