Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Adoption fee for one parakeet is $25, each additional adopted at the same time has a discounted adoption fee of $20.
Are you looking for a beautiful sweet new friend? Do you like your pets to be musically inclined? Well then a parakeet like me may be just the critter for you!
Let me tell you more about us. We should get out-of-cage time every day to stretch our wings and relieve boredom. Please give us plenty of toys, swings, and perches, and then sit back and watch for hours of entertainment!
We should be fed a variety of pellets, seeds, and fresh veggies & fruits.
Housing requirements: Most housing sold at pet stores is too small for small pets. They are going to be spending most of their lives inside their cage; your housing must be as large as the below or larger (bigger is always better!) in order to adopt this pet.
- For 1-2 parakeets, 22" wide x 16" deep x 27" high. With more birds the cage must be larger
- Bar spacing no wider than inch
Parakeets are a social species, meaning the company of their own kind is critical to their health and well being.
- If there are two names listed together (eg Peanut Butter w/Jelly), that means that the two animals are a bonded pair of friends, and must be adopted together.
- If there are more than two animals listed together (eg Peanut Butter w/Jelly and Toast), the group is to be adopted together. If there are 4 or more listed together, they can be adopted in pairs or trios - we just can't leave a single alone.
Got a single at home you're looking for a friend for? Any animal listed alone on our website is a single and a great candidate; if there is a group of 3 or more, usually one can be taken out of that group as a companion for your single.
- A new friend will need a separate cage until friendship has been established
- Parakeets are relatively easy to introduce to one another, as long as there is sufficient space
If you're ready to adopt now and want to learn more about, meet, or adopt this pet, you can start the process in one of two ways:
Come on in during open adoption hours Tuesday - Saturday 12:30-3:00! For in-shelter pets (not in foster care) coming in ASAP is the fastest way to adopt.
**the below two methods are slower than visiting us**
Call us (413-781-4000 x 1) or email us (springfield@dakinhumane.org) for more information about a pet. We are often on the line with another client, but we return voice mail and emails within 24 hours.
