Shawna

Meet Bonnie and Shawna, a bonded pair of elderly cockatiels looking for a quiet and loving retirement home. They are sweet, gentle girls who prefer a calm environment, steady routines, and a person who understands that older birds need patience and comfort above all else.<br/><br/>Both girls can step up once they are out of their cage. They are not overly comfortable with unfamiliar people approaching their cage, although once they come out, they settle down nicely and enjoy being near their person. They sing a little, but not a lot, and Shawna is especially proud of her very dramatic hiss.<br/><br/>They both enjoy chowing down on pellets, and they enjoy a variety of veggies, both fresh and freeze-dried. They love NutriBerries. Mist baths were confusing at first, and showers were even more puzzling, but as they settle in, they have started to enjoy the idea of getting clean.<br/><br/>They love cardboard toys and gentle chewing. They are not fast toy destroyers, but if you give Bonnie a piece of cardboard, she cannot resist taking a few enthusiastic bites. Both girls like rope perches, and their favorite is a Planet Pleasures rope boing stretched horizontally across the cage. They also enjoy swings, although Bonnie needs a swing with a rope or textured surface because her balance is not perfect.<br/><br/>Bonnie shows signs of previous wing injuries and has a foot that doesn't fully close, so she prefers being gently scooped instead of stepping up. Stable rope perches and larger perches are a must in her cage. She also needs her cloaca soaked a few times a week to help with personal hygiene, but tolerates it well. She enjoys sitting in the sink on a washcloth and will happily accept light scritches while you help clean her up.<br/><br/>A calm home would suit them well, although a moderately active home could work with a little patience and time for adjustment. They both do very well with other birds, so a multi-bird home would make them very happy.<br/><br/>These two are sweet, gentle birds who want nothing more than a peaceful place to live out their golden years. Bonnie loves a good window view. Shawna enjoys TV, light exploring, and food. She loves a good foraging tray with lots of goodies. They both enjoy sitting on a swing near where their person spends time, riding on shoulders, and asking for occasional scritches from someone they trust.<br/><br/>If you have room in your heart for a pair of older cockatiels, Bonnie and Shawna would love to meet you.<br/><br/>Adoption Fee; $120 for both birds
