Cockatiels -Happy and Honey-music by Michael Buble'

Separately, Happy, a young male cockatiel, and Honey, a young female pearl cockatiel, escaped their respective homes.

They were surrendered by their rescuers to the same shelter, and their cages were set side-by-side in a poorly lit, windowless room.

Day after day, week after week, no one came to claim either one of the hand-tamed, beautiful birds. Even Mickaboo, overwhelmed with birds in their foster network, couldn't take the birds in at that time.

Meanwhile, Happy and Honey became fast friends. After two months of waiting, they were inseparable and less inclined to be people- friendly. So the shelter decided to contact two previous bird- parents who had outside aviaries, to see if they had room.

But it was clear that these were not aviary birds. Indeed, aviary life would be a very difficult transition for birds raised inside and socialized to human attention. A Mickaboo volunteer took it upon herself to foster them, even though she had no room at her home.

Since moving in, they enjoy head massages and ask for more. Honey makes a sweet cheep-peep sound when getting hers! Happy loves to sing and whistle. He eats asparagus and greens, and he loves to sit & watch the world around him. They are so happy together!

They are both strong fliers and need their wings trimmed regularly to keep them from once again getting lost to the big, dangerous world outside.

They still need a bit of gentle attention to be fully re-socialized. If you have room in your heart and home for these two sweet birds,
please consider taking them in.

Happy and Honey have been happily adopted on July 30, 2009
