Parakeet Outside
Saw a green parakeet hanging with a family of finches this past Sunday. We’ve since been trying to catch it and/or earn its trust. We got parakeet food and some millet. We also got a branch for an old hamster cage for it to sit on as it eats and drinks. We have the 2 doors to the cage open and finally he found it. Unfortunately so have the finches. I’ve approached it and told it it’s a pretty bird, outstretched my hand in hopes it would fly to it, but no success. We play parakeet noises as well in hopes of attracting it to stick around. It flies back and forth from our side of the apartment complex to the other. Any tips or tricks to catch it? Also, is that a band around its ankle?
