Lenna's Story

Whitebird (Bitty) & Lenna are a pair of bonded budgies.<br/><br/>These two little ladies may not be interested in people, but they've found something special in each other. Now they're looking for a forever home where they can continue to grow and thrive together.<br/><br/>Whitebird, lovingly called Bitty by her foster family, came from a home where she had minimal interaction and spent most of her time in her cage. She's still learning what life can be like with space, safety, and kindness. Bitty is very comfortable in her cage and skittish around people, but she's adapting surprisingly well with slow and steady progress. She listens intently when people talk to her and is starting to tolerate hands reaching into her space. Her favorite activity is sitting fully inside her food dish at mealtime, and she loves relaxing on her boing.<br/><br/>Lenna has a bold spirit and a big heart for other birds. She was found outside, hopping through bushes and clearly asking for help. While she's not interested in human interaction, she is extremely social with other budgies and sings constantly to her foster siblings and even birds on YouTube. She's a confident flier and lives for her out-of-cage time. The moment her cage door opens, she takes flight, explores, and eventually settles by the window to watch the world or take a nap pressed up against the glass.<br/><br/>Together, Bitty and Lenna make an entertaining and sweet pair. Bitty gains confidence from Lenna's adventurous nature, and Lenna enjoys having a feathered friend to share her space. They preen, chirp, explore, and keep each other company in the most heartwarming ways. Both birds keep busy with shredding cardboard, and love exploring new fresh foods. Apple slices are a favorite snack to be nibbled, and they love to tell you all about it!<br/><br/>While they aren't hand-tame, they are thriving with patient care, enrichment, and the freedom to just be birds.<br/><br/>If your home has room for a sweet pair of independent budgies who love each other deeply, Bitty and Lenna may be the perfect fit.<br/>Adoption Fee for both birds: $30
