Sofie's Story

Looking for a little more life, laughter, and happy chatter in your home? Meet Leo and Sofie, a delightful pair of bonded budgies who are happiest when they're together. These two spend their days flying, chatting, and keeping a close eye on everything happening around them-- and they're looking for a home where they can continue their adventures side by side.<br/><br/>Sofie is the fearless explorer of the duo. Found as a stray and welcomed into Leo's life, she's become a confident little flyer who loves zooming laps around the room before returning to her favorite perch. She's endlessly curious about people and likes to investigate whatever you're doing from a safe distance. If millet is involved, she'll even fly over to land on your hand for a snack! <br/><br/>Leo is Sofie's constant companion, and the two are rarely far apart. They chatter back and forth throughout the day, keeping each other company and checking in whenever one or the other wanders off. Their bond is sweet to watch, and because they rely on each other for comfort and companionship, they must be adopted together.<br/><br/>These two love having plenty of out-of-cage flight time and are happiest when they can come and go from their cage on their own. Sofie especially enjoys flying around people as they move through the room, almost as if she's joining in on the day's activities. They prefer being where the action is and would thrive in a home where they can watch family life unfold rather than being tucked away in a quiet room.<br/><br/>Like many budgies, they're still learning to trust hands. They won't step up on command, but they're curious, food-motivated, and enjoy interacting on their own terms. With patience, positive reinforcement, and plenty of millet, their confidence will continue to grow.<br/><br/>Leo and Sofie would make wonderful companions for a first-time bird owner or anyone looking to share their home with a cheerful, entertaining pair of little birds. If you're ready to welcome twice the songs, twice the personality, and twice the joy, Leo and Sofie are waiting to meet you.<br/><br/>Adoption fee for the pair: $30
