Introducing.... Pigwidgeon!
He's an American Normal Green Budgie (Parakeet). His is hand-tame and sweet. He is a little shy right now as we have only had him for 48 hours! But he will step up and cuddle our necks. He is also a good forager!

He is a rescue from our downstairs neighbors who were moving out and couldn't take him.
Unfortunately, he won't be able to play with our lovebirds (lovebirds can be aggressive to smaller birds).We took him to the vet yesterday and he definitely has some health issues. He was underweight, had an overgrown beak (due to Fatty Liver Disease from an all-seed diet), and possibly may have a testicular tumor (not sure about this one; his cere has a small brown spot where it should be blue. We will do another vet check next month to see if it is worse or better and maybe then know for sure).
Normally, we don't take in birds as we are definitely crowded enough around here, but we made a special case for Pigwidgeon.
