Basil and Nova
Parakeet - Other · Adult (4 years 8 months) · Male · Small · Hinckley, IL
Notes from Kat & Kritters Foundation
Basil originally came in with his friend Splish Splash. Unfortunately Splish Splash passed away but we had a trio and Basil found a friend there. Nova is also a green parakeet and they both most likely have Psittacine beak and feather disease as they both have long beaks that they will need to have trimed on a regular basis. This is also highly contagious to other birds so they will need to be the only birds in a home. They are not hand tamed but do like to talk to their people and are very sweet, little guys.
Their adoption fee is $20 for the pair (The entire set up can be purchased with them for an additional $50)
