Pockets's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Patty (blueeyes072270@yahoo.com) for more information about this pet.<br/><br/>Hatch Date: 2023<br/><br/>Pockets is a 4-year-old White-Winged Parakeet. She is quite the little firecracker for sure! She has TONS of energy and is very vocal and active both inside her cage and out.<br/><br/>She loves playing with her bells and paper toys in her cage, loves taking baths in her water bowl, enjoys her sunflower seed treats very much and is always very curious to see what you're doing.<br/><br/>Her foster mom was typing this write-up with Pockets on her shoulder, and she kept coming down to the keyboard to "help" ...it was quite funny!<br/><br/>Until she gets to know and trust you, she is very nippy, but once she warms up to you (about a week or two) she is very trusting, playful and lovable and will step up just fine. You learn how to read her moods and let her run the show and you will both get along just fine. She really enjoys her shoulder rides, cuddles, getting attention and being part of what's happening.<br/><br/>She loves blueberries and strawberries. Banana's...we're still working on. She's always interested in what we're eating or drinking too... she is very curious! She enjoys licking the condensation off of my water bottles...it's pretty funny.<br/><br/>Right now, she seems to prefer females over males, as her previous caretaker was a female. She has been DNA tested female, so will only be adopted out to either a single household or one with another female white-winged parakeet. She will do well in either circumstance, but being alone, she does call out a lot and loves looking out the window at the other birds, so we feel she will thrive in an environment with another DNA tested female bird.<br/><br/>About a week after arriving at her foster home, she quieted down somewhat and started playing with and staying occupied with her toys. She whistles the chorus to "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire...SO cute! She also mumbles to herself and her toys when she's alone and we're in the other room. She is a GREAT alarm when someone is coming up to the front door and always lets us know the mailman or Amazon person is delivering.<br/><br/>She is quite the love once she gets used to you...even if you're just sitting in the room where she is. She will fly right to your head and crawl down on your shoulder to be with you. She doesn't seem to like the vacuum too much, as she "roars" while it is being used...it's really funny!<br/><br/>Pockets has been disease tested for Chlamydia and PBFD. She is being fostered in Hillsborough, NJ and will require multiple visits to find the right family fit. She will only be adopted into a forever home within driving distance. We will NOT ship our birds.<br/><br/>For the Love of Birds is a group of dedicated foster homes throughout NJ and Eastern PA. We do not have a central location. Bailey is living in a volunteer's private home. We only allow approved applicants to make visits. If interested in adopting Pockets, please visit our website ftlob.rescuegroups.org Please read our adoption policies & procedures, and complete an adoption application.
