��%BD��%BD��%BD��%BD Exceptional Young Budgie - Yellowface Type II, Blue-Series Rehoming Fee: $100 If you're looking for a brilliant, beautiful, and deeply engaging companion, meet this extraordinary young budgie. Hatched in late May 2025, he's just under three months old and already showing the intelligence, athleticism, and charm of a truly special bird. ��%BD�� Why He's Extraordinary: ��%BD�%A4%A0 Highly Intelligent & Observant - He learns routines quickly, recognizes patterns, and already knows when millet is being offered as a treat versus a lure. He loves a challenge, thrives on interaction, and engages deeply with his surroundings. He can be a little stubborn, but not so much that he won't eventually listen - patience and consistency go a long way with him. ��%BD��S Elite Flight Skills (Fully Flighted - Not Clipped) - This boy is an incredible flyer for his age - capable of precision landings, quick mid-air turns, and confident direct flights across the room to gently land on your hand. He even problem-solves mid-flight; more than once, he's zipped under the cage to avoid being guided back inside! ��%BD��%BD��%BD��%BD Confident, Social, and Sweet - From a clutch of five boys, he's bold, curious, and affectionate, naturally taking the lead when exploring. He loves engaging with people and, with focused attention, will be highly trainable. Because he's been hand-raised, you get to skip weeks (or even months) of socialization that a pet-store purchase would typically require. ��%BD��%BD��%BD��%BD Stunning Genetics & Appearance - He's a Yellowface Type II, blue-series budgie - a rare and highly sought-after color mutation. Body: Teal with vibrant turquoise tones. Crown: Golden-yellow. forming now, which will become a bright yellow mask after his first molt. His striking and less-typical coloring makes him truly one of a kind. ��%BD��%BD%8F��%BD Raised in a Home Environment - This little one was hand-raised in a home with children and other pets, so he's accustomed to a lively, high-energy atmosphere. While he may need a little time to adjust to a new space, he's confident, adaptable, and resilient. ��%BDs%A0��%BD��%BD%8F Important Considerations: Homes with dogs or cats must have prior bird experience to ensure his safety. He's not clipped and should remain flighted in his new home. He'll be happiest with daily out-of-cage flight time to exercise both body and mind. A balanced diet is essential - he's used to a mix of high-quality pellets, vegetables, healthy treats, and some seed. I'm happy to share exactly what I feed my flock if needed. ��%BD�� The Ideal Home: Solo Companion - Perfect for someone with time, patience, and love to give - ideal if you want a bird you can bond and train. With a Gentle Cage Mate - Best paired with a calm, non-dominant budgie who won't compete for food, leadership, or attention. He's not a good fit for a large or highly competitive flock (like mine), as his natural assertiveness and emerging dominance may lead to tension. Who He's Perfect For: An experienced bird lover who understands flighted care. Someone who enjoys training, teaching recall, and building trust. A home where his brilliance, energy, and personality will be celebrated and nurtured. ��%BD��%BD��%BD��%BD A Personal Note: I'll be frank. Birds are not starter pets. They're loud, messy, highly social, and need time, patience, and enrichment to thrive. But if you're up for the challenge, they're also amazing little creatures who will fill your life with joy, laughter, and connection. This isn't just a beautiful bird - he's a remarkable companion. With his stunning teal-and-gold coloring, playful intelligence, and deeply social nature, he deserves a home where his gifts will be valued. Rehoming Fee: $100 - to ensure he finds a loving, prepared, and committed adopter. And if, for any reason, he ever needs to be rehomed in the future, I'll gladly take him back. He's been loved here since the day he hatched, and my priority is his happiness and safety. (I'm not a breeder - my hen was simply determined to become a mother, and I want to ensure each of her babies goes to the best possible home. I honestly wish I could keep them all.)
