In the shelter’s words
Hello there, my name is Linus, and I'm a handsome little cockatiel looking for my forever home. I was a stray found in the Santa Cruz area, so nobody knows that much about me. I came to live with my foster mom in October of 2023, and while I enjoy my time with the foster flock of cockatiels here, my foster is always looking to offer new cockatiels in need a safe place to land, and I'm ready for a new family to call my own. I'm a cinnamon normal grey cockatiel, and you may find that I'm a bit sweeter than your average 'tiel. I'm a fully flighted bird, so I'm not used to being handled, but my foster mom says that with lots of patience and love, I could learn to trust you. I'm also quite a good singer, although I'm a little shy about performing when people are around. When I'm not serenading the room, I love being a "wet chicken" on our weekly shower day. My foster mom mists all of us, and I really get into it! A good misting is followed by a good meal—I eat Roudybush crumbles, a quality seed mix with oat groats, and fresh dark greens every day. I also have plenty of soft wood toys, like palm leaf shredders and willow balls, to keep my beak busy. I'm a great chewer, so it's important to keep me stocked with toys so I don't get into trouble! My foster mom thinks I would make a great companion, either as part of a pair or in a larger flock. If you're interested in giving me a forever home, please reach out to the cockatiel coordinator!You can see more about me at https://mickaboo.org!
