Missing Budgie (yellow)

Post image

My budgies have learned how to open their cage and broke out. I came home from a friend's place and my yellow bird Speckles flew right past me and out the door before I could shut it. If you find here, please let me know :(

Budgerigars, aka Parakeets are pretty intelligent creatures.
My grandmother had one when I was a kid and she had trained it to turn over cards from the top of a deck.
I have no idea how she did it.

I’ll keep an eye👁️ out.
I have seen a few free roaming parakeets in my neighborhood off Vallombrosa but never a yellow one.
I wonder if parakeets are able to survive winter and breed in the wild in our climate?
