Look who showed up in our yard

When the weather gets cold he will die. I had a budgie that looked just like that one. I used to take him and his mate outside in a small cage to get some fresh air until I dropped it one day. I found the male a week later at the store down the street. He was eating the flowers on display outside. I tried to catch him but he bit me and ended up getting out from between my hands. I never saw him again. A few years ago I found a cockatel (can’t spell) in my yard. I was able to catch it and after not being able to find the owners I decided to keep it. That had to have been the coolest bird I ever owned but for some reason it HATED my husband. I would let it out of the cage and it would fly right to my shoulder and stay there. When my husband would come near me it would scream and fly around the house attacking him. He made me give it to a friend that had other birds.

Your best bet would be to try and catch him. I’m not sure how good you are at catching birds or how tame that bird is.

Im seconding everything that Nam has just said in lieu of being redundant!

I hope you catch him. He must be someone’s pet which is frustrating to hear that someone isnt crazily actively pursuing their lost sweetie. I guess Im just a little bit nuts when it comes to my pets.. I know I go off the deep end when it comes to anything about them.

That 2nd photo of him next to the morning dove is so precious! They look like old mates!

Good luck both catching him, and either keeping him; getting him to someone who wants him or, finding an owner that is severely remorseful and thankful.

Oh the poor bird. Maybe try a butterfly net? Just be careful when untangeling. A towel should work. That’s how I caught a finch that my cats chased into my appartment.

I love the colors and I hope you can catch it.
