- Species: Parakeet, Budgie (See species list for details)
- Location: Racine, Wisconsin, United States 53406
- Date Found: July 5, 2012
- Banded: No
Very tame unclipped budgie was found on the block of Breeze Tr. near Wright Ave. Friendly to humans, this male came down and initiated contact with the owner of the house who then contacted my husband and myself for assistance, as we are “bird people”. Bird was dehydrated and hungry, but was given food and water both before he was recovered and after. He is resting comfortably at our home with his wings now clipped to avoid further incidents. He seems healthy though a little thin and is vocalizing. The bird is over a year old as he has no bands on his forehead, a bright blue cere, and distinct irises.
