Yes, and he almost died as a youngster when he landed on the rabbit cage and Chicory bit off the tip of one of his toes! Lost a lot of blood. Took him to an avian vet who was shocked he had survived, gave him a shot of antibiotic, and sent him home with instructions on how to set up a moist, heated recovery pen.BTW, 9 yrs. is a long time for a parakeet .![]()
Lupin is on the larger side, so I think that helped him survive. Not as big as a budgie, though. His cage is next to the cockatiel, so he has a little company since his cage mate died several years ago.
