After some recent, pretty severe, problems we've been having with my Jenday, Kip, we've decided to rehome him as an only bird to someone with a little more time to devote to him.
The plan was to just have one bird, our cockatiel Pooky, but of course things change. I went into work, as normal, and there was a commotion going on. Apparently I arrived just in time to see this little guy. A costumer was looking at our adoption animals (we have a little area set up for them) and noticed a very small cardboard box next to the adoption table make a little noise and move. Sure enough, someone brought a cockatiel in to the store in a TINY box and just left it. We got him all set up, he was incredibly thirsty and hungry, and it turns out that he's as friendly as can be... after a lot of joking about "riding the rails and living in his box" we decided on the name "Hobo Pete" for the little fella and after I named him I couldn't possibly leave him there.
Pooky was used to being an only bird and liked the undivided attention, but lately we've been busy and he does get lonely. I am not one to buy the idea of "get one animal to keep the other happy" but Pooky definitely tried to interact with Kip, who would have nothing to do with it. I really hope that Hobo and Pooky can get along, and their very short meeting today after I got home went really well so I'm pretty confident that they will be best friends in no time.
I promise better pictures when he's settled in.
Oh, any guesses on age?
