Name: Sunshine (but we call her Sunny)
Species: Budgerigar
Gender: Female, we think. She's still a baby.
Native Habitat: Australia
Hatch Date or approximate age: Not sure of her hatch date, but she's not a year old yet.
Nicknames: Sunnykeet
Talks: She chatters in budgie. I heard her chattering this morning and thought it sounded like she said, "biiiiiiiird," but I'm not sure yet if she was actually trying to talk or not.
Hand Tame: She's pretty tame now - her one issue is coming out of her cage. But tame, yes.
Where Obtained and how you came together: PetSmart. Yes, I know. And I certainly don't impulse-buy budgies (and don't always trust pet stores). But this little girl really seemed like she wanted to be with us, and we loved her at first sight, too.
Favorite Foods: I am not sure yet, though I have been using millet in her training and she loves that.
Favorite Toys: Bells, anything that she can beak-bop against. Also, the toys on Beau's playgym (which she loves to hang out on, with Beau).
Medical Issues/Concerns: Like the others, she needs to learn to eat more veggies. I'm not so sure she was used to eating pellets, either, so I'm trying to get her on those, as well. Other than that, no.
Quirks, Habits, etc..: Loves showing off for Beau, her buddy.
