Nancy and I visited our rental property yesterday to do some touch up projects before the next renters arrived. Moved a lot of landscaping rock, did some caulking, and headed home.
When we got home, we started unloading the car. I was removing items from the back seat when I heard Nancy yelling out in the driveway. I came out of the car to see her waving her arms around her head, and a bird that looked like it was attacking her.
As the bird squawked and circled around her head, I saw that it was a cockatiel. I told her to just hold her arms out, and sure enough, the bird landed on her arm and walked up her shoulder. Nancy was still uncomfortable, so I walked over and the bird jumped to my shoulder. We've got in now in an old dog cage, and are posting lost and found notices around the neighborhood.
The girls want to keep the bird, and from the picture below, you can see how comfortable the bird is with people. I read the paper on the lanai this morning, with the bird satisfied to perch on my shoulder and nuzzle against my cheek and ear.
If someone doesn't come forward, we'll have a new addition.
