As NN's s.o. who was at work when the bird came home, I would be one of those you speak of, guilty of the "Aw let's keep him" whim... but you know, he's not as cuddly as a pup. Just doesn't measure up to the dingo with jaws of steel I love so much. Cute, but what do you do with him? Hope we find his rightful keeper soon.

There were several parakeets listed as missing in the Lost & Found section of the journal last time I checked.

Did you ever find the owner of this guy? If not, you might want to buy him some real parakeet food. I don't know if that stuff you're giving him might be fattening.

We ended up giving him to a sweet little girl and her mom. She was plenty excited to take him home :)

He wasn't easy to catch though. It took me about 15 min. to finally corner him and get him in the cage.

I think that same little guy was in my yard a week or so ago. I'm at Cagua and Bell. I came out one afternoon and the bird was eating from my chickens' food dish. S/he coyly flew into my trees and let me get closer slowly then would fly off to another tree. I did check the Journal, Animal Humane and City Animal Services and didn't find a match. Glad you nabbed it and found a good home.
