Skye and Geo fluttered into J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue on September 5, 2025, after their previous owner got a kitten—and these two feathered friends weren’t too fond of their new furry roommate. This bonded pair is very affectionate with each other but prefers to keep human handling to a minimum. They’re happiest chirping, playing, and sharing their favorite snacks—peppers and celery! 🫑🥬
🔍 Parakeet (Budgie) Quick Care Info (from PetMD):
📏 Size: 6–8 inches long
📅 Lifespan: 7–15 years
💤 Temperament: Social, vocal, and curious
🏠 Cage Size: Minimum 18” x 18” x 24” for a pair (bigger is better!)
🪵 Setup: Provide a variety of perches, swings, and shreddable toys
🌞 Lighting: Natural light or full-spectrum UV lighting is beneficial
🍽️ Diet:
– High-quality pellet-based diet with a small portion of seeds
– Daily fresh veggies: leafy greens, peppers, celery, carrots, and broccoli
– Occasional fruits: apples, berries, melon (no seeds/pits)

💡 Care Tips:
– Parakeets are flock animals and need company—Skye & Geo are already perfectly bonded 💕
– Provide daily enrichment and gentle conversation—they’ll reward you with chirps and chatter
– Keep their environment calm and safe, especially away from cats and other predators
Skye and Geo are inseparable little companions looking for a quiet, loving home where they can stay together forever. 💙💚
