just found a pretty bird on my front porch

green with a red face and some blue plummage under his wings.

Too big to be a parakeet...Ron thinks it's a Quaker? Never heard of that species.

Also could be some small version of a parrot.

Took it in...found a cage for him. He was VERY hungry. Just waiting to find out who it belongs to. The cats and the dog are going nuts.

Had to move the bird into my room because the cats were starting to climb up on chairs and on the wall heater. Problem is the cage doesn't have a door on it...so we put some heavy newspaper over where the door would normally be (with wire ties and bread ties securing the paper in place) and have put it up flesh against a wall with a heavy magazine holding the paper flatter against the cage.

Oh what a beautiful bird ..! I was trying to look for your profile to find where in the world you are ... NOT the tropics where parrots normally hang out by the look of your photos ... having said that we have over 50,000 parrokeets in the WILD in London! London UK that is famous for it's RAIN and DAMP and yes wild PARROTS are living there and THRIVING!! What a fascinating blog you have here! You must come see mine it's at gledwood2.blogspot.com. You're most welcome to come have a poke through it. Be warned though it is very "different" ... my secret diary online type of thing where I tell everything ... see you there maybe? Meanwhile keep up the great blog.
All the best to you. Do keep us updated on the bird's wellbeing. Are you going to keep it for good?
