DGx2 kindly rescued a yellow parakeet from her backyard on Bachman Path, backing up to Tarpon Boil in Buttonwood. She put the info on the forum, and we have taken possession of the bird (yes, he is a parakeet, not a canary--yellow with a green neck) because her dog was not amenable to having a bird. We have a Cockatiel and extra cage and food.
This is a sweet bird and is verrrrrrrrry hungry. Blackbirds were attacking it. but it is only slightly injured, thanks to Donna and her husband's quick action. If you know whose bird this is, please PM me or call 352-610-6334. Also, since I'm new at this, I would like any suggestions as to how to find the owner. Someone already suggested calling the radio station, which I will, and also my vet. We've only been here a year and don't know where the rescue societies are. He's a sweet bird and will have a forever home here if we can't find the owner. But I hate to think of someone missing a pet. |

Wow.. thank you for stepping up, never a dull moment. I didn't realize blackbirds attack smaller birds. I'm amazed
the bird could be caught so easily; perhaps he was exhausted and hungry. The radio station is the best way to get the word out. Please keep us informed. |

Anyway, he ate a TON of food and promptly tucked his head in and went to sleep. There are a few nicks on his head, but otherwise he seems fine. I was going to ask Pooh if she minds if we name him Pooh. Just seems to fit the sweet little guy. |

I can't open that link, gerryann. But we're certain his wings are clipped, which would make him domesticated. Plus he seems quite content to be in the cage.
I will be taking him to our avian vet to be checked if I don't hear anything from an owner in the next day or two. |

Pooh has survived the night and is eating again. I think his leg might be injured as he's falling a bit. Calling the vet today. He will let me pet him, but he doesn't seem to know how to "step up" onto my finger. |
