Pretty Boy's Story

Hello there! My name is PB, short for “Pretty Boy.” I’m a 30-year-old male cockatiel—yes, you read that right, 30! My story began when my first caretaker rescued me from a tree back in 1995. Not much is known about my life after that, but I’ve clearly had quite the journey.<br/><br/>I’m taking it easy these days, settling into foster care and learning to enjoy the slower pace of life. I might act a little shy at first, but don’t let that fool you—I love attention. While I prefer not to be touched or handled, I’ll happily sing and chirp to get your attention when you walk away (foster mom thinks I'm a tease). I also enjoy a refreshing spritz from a water bottle shower, and of course, my favorite treat is millet (I can’t resist!). I’ve been on a seed-based diet my whole life.<br/><br/>I’m looking for a gentle, patient companion who understands that older birds like me need a calm environment and consistent care. I’d be happiest with a nice view out the window or a spot where I can watch you go about your day.<br/><br/>I may be a senior bird, but I still have lots of personality and song left to share. If you’re looking for a cute, low-maintenance companion to keep you company, please consider giving me a loving forever home for my golden years.<br/><br/>Pretty Boy would love a "Welcome to Foster" gift.
