Charlie

Hi everyone! My name is Charlie, and I am a very sweet Cockatiel. I am approximately 8 years old. My owner passed away and now I am waiting for FPR to find me my new forever home. I am listed as a special needs bird because I do have a lump on my wing. The vet completed a wing aspiration, and it showed no definitive diagnosis or pathology. Luckily, I am not showing any signs of pain, nor do I pick at or bother it. FPR was told that prior to being with my owner who passed away, I was in a home with children who were very grabby. It may be due to this that I do not like to be handled. Loud noises, such as the dogs in my foster home barking will startle me and I will sometimes fly off or out of my cage, but I step up easily off the floor and once I am out, I will sit on a play stand or on my foster mom's shoulder, but I feel safest and most comfortable in my cage. After I am uncovered in the morning, my foster mom will open my cage landing for the day, and I will climb out and hang outside and go back in when I want. I am really interested in my foster brother who is also a Cockatiel. I come out of my cage more often since he arrived so I can see him. I would love to go to a home where I can have a cockatiel friend to spend my time with! I am a quiet, laid-back girl who just enjoys sitting in my cage and playing with my toys, especially bells...I LOVE bells!
