While in the garage, working on the horizontal stabilizer, I caught something out of the corner of my eye that was out of place. What I assume was an escaped pet parakeet.

| Unexpected volunteer. |
He didn't mind handling, and didn't try to fly away when gently encouraged, so I placed a Facebook post in the local neighborhood group looking for anyone with a lost pet matching his description.

| Pretty lethargic and probably hungry. |
There were a few replies, some having checked with other bird owners, but no luck. In the meantime, I picked up an inexpensive cage and some bird food for his expected day or two sleepover.

| Turns out she had quite an appetite. |
In the end, we had a local bird person that was willing the give her a home. Last we heard, she had a much bigger cage, a new name (Sapphire), some other bird friends and quite a talkative streak!

| Pining for the fjords, no doubt. |
