Meet Shirley, a delightful finch looking for her forever home! Shirley, also known as "Meep" by her foster parent for her happy "meep" sounds, is a sweet little bird looking for her furever home. Her foster family monitored her closely for egg-laying issues, but she now has a clean bill (or should that be beak?) of health and she's now ready for adoption. To keep Shirley healthy and happy, ensure her diet includes plenty of calcium-rich foods as well as a balanced finch diet of seeds, pellets, fresh vegetables, and occasional treats like millet, which Shirley adores. Set up her cage with perches of varying heights for exercise and mental stimulation. Offer toys like hanging mirrors or bells for enrichment, encouraging her natural curiosity. Adopters should provide a loving environment filled with chirps and joy. Could your home be Shirley's forever perch?
