Congrats, @Rico_Tiel, and welcome home, little one! You sure are a cutie! :love:
Thank you! She is adjusting right now but I look forward to interacting with her eventually!

Edit: no that is not poop, it is pellets that I accidentally dropped when mixing them in the food

Also, petco only had one perch (we got her from petzoo Dw) that wasn’t a sand perch so we got that. We will be ordering more perches and toys in the upcoming weeks. So, dw about the setup!

Wow! I love how neon she is! Cricket is a cute name too.
Her brightness gives Billy a run for his money! 😅

She is super friendly too! And yessss she is absolutely neon! She’s absolutely beautiful! My brother and I actually got the budgie together and when I saw the creamino a 2nd time, I was like “nuh uh, that one is sick. Tail bobbing more than a pool float in the ocean!” So we got little miss cricks after staring at her for a bit, determining whether she is the one or not. She was lol. She is healthy as a horse and got cleared by a vet for illness. She is absolutely perfect and is so itty bitty! I adore her!

Someone decided to come out! She is clipped (by petzoo, turns out the birds kept escaping up into the rafters) and I have some control over her to keep things under control. She is SUPER friendly!

Do you have a gram scale? If she’s already able to step up you could weigh her too.

Yeah but I think it’d be too much for day one. Maybe in a few days? But she is almost weightless. On the bmi scale, I’d say she’s just fine there. Looks nice and healthy!

What does Rico think of Cricket?
He is quite intrigued by her! He doesn’t mind her and she doesn’t either. Their interactions have all been positive and are going according to plan!
