Lemon - Budgie Budgerigar Bird for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Lemon is a cute little yellow budgie who can’t wait to join your flock! Lemon came to FCAS after she needed medical care that her family could not afford. Though she’s feeling much better, she will need a little more time living separately from another parakeet to continue healing. Budgies are social birds, so if you have other female budgies who are looking for a friend, Lemon would be a great match. If you are searching for a colorful, cheerful, feathered friend, come and adopt Lemon today!

If you’d like to meet our available pets, please check the "shelter information" box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Michael R. Frey Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours!
