Additional Comments
I have two lovely and truly very sweet bourke’s keets who are also a mated pair. I got them both while living in San Francisco, and I have come to the decision that I think it is best for them to be rehomed as my life circumstances have changed, to their detriment.
They come with a large breeding flight cage, toys, reusable washable cage liners, safe eucalyptus branches found just for them where we lived in California, and whatever food they may have left when I find the right home situation for them.... (read more)
These birds are true hookbill parrots that are about the same size as a budgie, and have an average life expectancy of 15 years. The male is 3 years old and the female is now just over two years old, which means she is ready to have clutches. They are more sensitive than budgies and will only be considered for a new home without cats, or small children. No smoking, no incense, no artificial scents. Never keep birds in kitchens. These birds require free flight time, daily is ideal, but several days a week at minimum. The male is very tame, the female less so but intelligent and would be easy to get equally as tame with the right kind of patience.
I will only consider seriously interested homes who have prior bird experience and have done their research on this species, as they are unique in many ways and still hard to come by here in the states. A video interview will need to happen, and there will be a rehoming fee. They do know their names and one of the requirements of rehoming will be to keep their names, and that if they are used for breeding, I get to keep rights to having one or two of their fledged babies in the future when my circumstances are better for being a bird caretaker.
I will share many more pics, videos, etc, to seriously interested parties. This is a heartbreaking decision for me, but if a better home is out there for them than what I can currently provide, they absolutely deserve it.
Please email only, currently, and if something seems like a good fit, we will move further along in the adoption process. Thank you very much for your interest in my precious baby birds!
