Wild Monk Parrot

RE: Wild Monk Parrot By STR8LADYA (4) Contact That's a Fischer lovebird. I used to raise them years ago. Monk parakeets are illegal in my state. They chew up a lot of buildings. That's one reason why they are illegal in a lot of states. Very destructive, but can be so sweet. I used toi have one, but I gave him to a friend in Connecticut when I learned that I couldn't have one in my state.

I happen to have one as it is not illegal to have them in Idaho. What you have captured on your dish is most likely a sun conure and I doubt if it is wild. It probably escaped from someone's home and they are probably looking for it as I type this. Contact your local Humane Society or Rescue Group.

Put cockateil seeds out for it and see if she/he will come to you. Talking softly also helps. You can also put an ad where everyone can see it and hopefully the owners will come and get it. When they are tame they are loving birds. They also like to snuggle. Most are very cage aggrestive so be carefull. Once away from their cage they are fine.

Don't know why I had that in my head. Brother did say they were pretty common in this area of south Texas.

He sure is pretty; If he shows up again, your relative might want to call a local bird rescue org. and see if they can lure it in and catch it.
