Notes from Kat & Kritters Foundation

Tweety and Sylvester are older gentleman. They came into animal control with 4 other tiels, all are between 10 and 15 years old but we aren't sure on their exact age. Animal control stated they had a cage that was too small and not a proper diet but most of them have healed well although Tweety might never get a head of "hair" back. They are quite shy birds and do take some time to warm up to new people. They don't seem bothered by the dogs and cats, or kids in their foster home but they are not hand tamed and do get upset when you try to touch them. We separated everyone into pairs and Tweety and Sylvester do enjoy hanging together and will need to be adopted as a pair. They enjoy each other's company and would do best in a home where they can have a large spacious cage to stretch out in along with a high quality diet. They haven't wanted to explore out of their cage yet so someone who is looking for a sweet song but not really a cuddle buddy would be best for these senior boys.

Their adoption fee is $100 for the pair (Their entire set up can be purchased with them for an additional $75)
