On Friday afternoon, after our stats lab, Matt and I were walking back to the parking lot and came upon a white & blue parakeet. Now parakeets aren't birds that you typically see just chilling in nature. At least not in the greater-Houston area. Our first inclination was to watch it sit there for a few minutes, try to feed it, talk to it in hopes that we were on candid camera, and eventually walk away... only to return to it to try to rescue it. Now before you think that we snatched this creature from nature - realize that it was perfectly okay with us being within inches of it and a guy on a bike almost ran over the poor feller and the bird didn't even budge. So with a cardboard box, we captured it and I took to out to my friends house.
Within an hour my friends had a bird cage, food, and a setup for the parakeet and it was eating and quite at home. I'm confident that even though they have 3 cats, that the parakeet will survive. That and they're already talking about buying another one to keep it company! That's the kind of happy ending that really wraps up a week!
