Rehoming 6 month old female budgie

Columbus OH

Description

Have a female budgie just turning 6 months old. She came to me as a gift with a dark patch on her beak, so super young (definitely less than 8 weeks, though they told my son 11 weeks the day he picked her up), and extremely afraid. Moreso than any budgie I have ever worked with before, so I believe she was already traumatized even at such a tender age. I've had her just around 4 months, and she just shed most of her head stripes. She still has a few. She had to learn a lot about how to bird, including what millet is, how to play with toys, and flying but she's a pro now. I don't know that she actually fledged, but you wouldn't be able to tell now if that is the case. She's a harrier jet (hovers very well lol). She was supposed to be a yellowface 1, but she has turned almost all green with blue tones throughout, and blue by the vent now (used to be a blue-green color before her molt, with patches of just blue here and there), so I suspect a yellowface 2, goldenface, or maybe could be a visual violet green. Her breeders were not forthcoming with a lot of information and my son doesn't know much to fill in blanks. She has never been clipped. I have her eating veggie chop well, and nibbling Zupreem pellets which she has 24/7 access to. She gets Kaytee Fiesta for seed once a day. Favorite treats are oat groats, though she will still do a whole lot for some millet spray! She's not fully tame, but she does step up from time to time. She gets along wonderfully with my other budgies, but not all of them want to accept her and she is causing a couple of them to fight with each other. We were trying to work through this, and was going to just keep her homed separately. It seemed that was going to be a working solution, but after doing this for a couple of months: My job has changed my schedule so significantly that it's flipped our lives upside down. I was already struggling with juggling home and work. I used to get 6 hours of sleep in order to have time to take care of everything, and now I have to dwindle that to 4 or less. It's proven impossible for me to keep up with all the normal tasks that life throws at you, work, and giving her the time she needs to finish out training and taming her, plus keeping all the birds happy under one roof. I hate to have to rehome her, as I have put extensive work into basicly rehabbing her, and she's doing so well! She will do just fine as a single bird, and definitely will do well in a flock! Asking $30 for her. We work third shift, so text or email is the best and speediest way to contact us. Thank you!
