This morning, at about 8 a.m., I was getting ready to take my daughter to school. We were in the garage and I heard a bird chirping. I told my daughter and she said I was just hearing things. Well, later on I come home and open the garage door and hear a chirp! Then I see a bird flying right at me! At first, I thought it was a blue jay that had gotten trapped in the garage, but then I realized it was a parakeet. Well, it looks very much like my parakeet--it's blue, but upon closer inspection I realized it was not my parakeet.
I caught it and put it in an extra cage and here he is ...
He seems friendly. He's not finger-trained, but he didn't make too much of a fuss when I caught him in my hand.
Kinda bizarre, lol. I asked my neighbors and none of them have lost a parakeet. No idea where he came from ...
