Popeye and Olive
Cockatiel · Senior (12 years 4 months) · Medium · Hinckley, IL
Notes from Kat & Kritters Foundation
Popeye and Olive aren't the kind of cockatiels that rush to greet you. They are shy, bashful, and like to take things at their own pace. They quietly observe their surroundings, often tilting their heads with gentle curiosity. Both have a few birth differences that make them unique, but they are still healthy and doing well. They have small bald patches on their backs of their heads and slight differences in their eye membranes, which don't stop them from living happy lives. Popeye is calm and steady, while Olive is more sensitive and cautious. As they become more comfortable, their sweetness shows in simple ways...soft chirps, curious head tilts, and relaxed moments together. They're not used to being held or touched yet, but they enjoy each other's company and can often be found snuggling on their perches. Olive especially loves the swing and will happily spend time gently swaying. They're easy to love and bring a peaceful presence to any home. Most mornings and evenings they'll sing softly, adding a calm, cheerful rhythm to the day. They would do best in a quiet home without loud noises or small children.
Adoption fee is $100 for the pair (An entire set up can be purchased with them for an additional $50)
