Hawk

Meet Hawk and Zeus, a bonded pair of young cockatiels who are rarely more than a few feet apart and would very much like to keep it that way. And when we say bonded, we mean extremely bonded. If one disappears from the other's sight, the flock calling quickly turns into full cockatiel panic until they can see each other again. Because of reported breeding behaviors in their previous home, Hawk and Zeus will need separate cages, and their time together outside of their cages should be monitored for breeding behaviors. <br/><br/>Zeus (confirmed female) and Hawk (confirmed male) arrived at STAR fearful, hesitant, and pretty shut down. As they settle into foster care, they have blossomed into a duo of confident, active little birds. They reliably step onto a rope perch, although hands remain highly suspicious.<br/><br/>Zeus loves to fly, explore, and play. Soft, shreddable toys are her favorite (especially balsa wood, sola balls & mahogany pods). She also enjoys carefully untying toy pieces, watching them fall dramatically to the bottom of the cage, and then immediately losing all interest. Apparently, the destruction is the point. She eats Roudybush pellets, is starting to explore veggies and other new foods, but her all-time favorite snack is a big, round Nutriberry. <br/><br/>Hawk is clever, outgoing, and loves to fly. Open his cage, and he's ready to explore, find something to shred, hitch an occasional ride on his foster's head or even break into another bird's cage to steal food. (We're hoping this hobby pays off nutritionally.) Hawk is still stubbornly attached to seeds, but he recently stole some Zupreem from a foster sibling and actually ate it. We'll take the win! <br/><br/>Hawk is the singer of the pair. He wolf whistles, makes a whole variety of other sounds, and has a warbling song that sounds remarkably like a wild bird. He sings on and off throughout the day. He isn't exceptionally loud compared to other parrot species, but his frequent singing could carry through thinner shared walls and should be taken into consideration. Separate him from Zeus, however, and all bets are off... the screaming commences.<br/><br/>This pair can startle easily, especially in unfamiliar situations. A new family should expect that they may initially become more fearful again as they adjust to another change, so a calm approach and some extra care while they learn their new surroundings will be important.<br/><br/>Do you have home in your home (and heart) for this pair? Hawk and Zeus would love to meet you!<br/><br/>Adoption fee for the pair: $240
