Pet Forum / Birds / Birds / November 2007Parrot at my bird feeder in |Waltham, Ma
Can anyone identify this bird? http://nateliskov.kicks-ass.org/parrot Will it survive the winter? Thanks, Nathan Liskov  Signaturenate_NOSPAM@lcs.mit.edu http://nateliskov.kicks-ass.org or http://home.comcast.net/~nateliskov > Can anyone identify this bird? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Nathan Liskov It is unlikely this species will habituate to your climate. It would be good if you can affect a rescue. There are a variety of methods. One would be to borrow a cage and fill it with food. Another would be to call the local pet bird club so they can use their methods to capture it. Have you tried to find the person who lost the bird? They may have its familiar cage to bring to your yard. I'm sure someone on rec.pets.birds can tell you exactly what species this is so if you advertise for the owner or speak to someone from the following list, you can name the species.

In Central Park, ornithologists have determined time and again that parrots live in this town (New York City) throughout the seasons. However, they have eachother to huddle with when it gets cold. You are very lucky this bird came to you for help. He/she may seem fine now, but when the temperature drops, it very likely will die. Follow Joanne's advice and information kit that she provided for you. I've read that in warmer climates, these birds are becoming wild in the U.S., so this one might be a stray who got lost heading north or probably, more likely, got lost by flying out his/her owner's window nearby your home. Have a heart and help the little thing out. Don't wait until it gets cold. "Only those who are absolutely sincere can fully develop their nature. If they can develop their nature, they can then...assist in the transforming and nourishing process of Heaven and Earth." - Confucius (A Source Book in Chinese Philosophy) Jamie Jamie look again, not sure but looks to me like a member of the poi-sef-ulus (sp) family-maybe a Brown Head.................. For sure not a macaw or caique! Bob W > I'm not certain, but it looks like a caique or a member of the > miniature macaw family.
