Last year someone dumped 2 parakeets in their cage nest to a chicken close to my home. My friend collected them and kept them for a year. My parakeet Bluebird passed away earlier this year, he was 11. The birds that were rescued, one of them passed 2 months ago. Soooo, we both decided to bring Goose into my home to keep Buddy company. They have been together for a couple weeks now. Goose was not a strong flyer and really had a hard time landing. Since he has been here in the free flight room his flying and landing skills are getting much better.
