Adoption information
About Gracie
Gracie is a female budgie available for adoption in Sutherland (Sydney, New South Wales).
Gracie is a sweet, funny little bird with a huge personality packed into a tiny feathery body. She's social, loyal and happiest right in the middle of family life.
She loves her people, chats along to conversations with soft chirps of approval, and wants to be part of everything going on.
Her curious, chatty side comes out with new faces too, once she's had a moment to take them in.
A little about Gracie:
🐾 Loves riding around on your shoulder
🐾 Adores eating treats straight from your hand
🐾 Lights up at a game with her little ball
🐾 Loves shredding a fresh bok choy leaf to pieces
🐾 Big fan of cooked buckwheat, quinoa and rice
Gracie's mornings start with a big wing stretch and a little dance, then a climb into your hands for a cuddle and a kiss before breakfast.
With her cage door open during the day, she likes to stay close to home base, with the odd stroll to see what's going on.
She spends her days watching the birds outside the window, listening in on conversations and the TV, and exploring any fresh green branch that turns up in her cage.
Come evening, she fluffs herself up and settles in to keep an eye on the household, making sure everybody behaves.
Gracie's affection is big and easy to see. When you come home she dances on her perch, proudly shows off her wings, and wags her tail when you play together.
She loves a head and neck scratch, a cuddle and a kiss, and will happily perch beside your laptop or watch a show with you.
Her people are the centre of her world, so a calm home where someone is around more often than not is where she'll shine.
She'll suit a guardian who loves a chatty companion and enjoys having a little bird along for the ride, on their shoulder or beside them on the couch.
A calm adult household without cats or dogs gives her a safe, relaxed space to be her bold, social self.
Gracie thrives on company and daily time out with her people. She enjoys a varied diet of fresh greens, quality seeds and cooked grains, and outings in her little travel cage.
She's a true companion, not a bird to admire from across the room, and she gives back every bit of love she gets.
Picture coming home to a little dance on the perch and a proud flash of wings. Then a quiet evening on the couch, Gracie on your shoulder, chirping her approval at the TV.
Gracie is a feathered best friend in the making, full of love, character and chatter, and she's ready to become part of someone's everyday life.

Adoption details
When enquiring about a pet listed with Home2Home, your enquiry goes directly to the pet’s guardian—the person who knows them best!
From here, the guardian will be in touch to learn more about you and chat with you about their pet. It’s a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the pet, including its likes and dislikes, needs, and how it may fit into your lifestyle and family.
If your home and lifestyle match the pet's needs, the next step will be arranging a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is happy to proceed with a formal adoption.
Following the adoption, change of ownership paperwork will be completed, and proof of vaccination, microchipping, and desexing (if applicable, as indicated on the listing) will be provided.
All pets adopted through Home2Home will require an adoption contract to be signed and an adoption fee to be paid. The pet’s guardian will complete the adoption contract with you and provide a link to PetRescue’s secure payment portal for completing the adoption fee payment.
Home2Home currently operates a ‘pay what you choose’ system for cat adoption fees. This means that adopters will be able to choose an adoption fee amount that is suitable for them. All adoption fees are used to support PetRescue's life-saving programs, including Home2Home.
