Good Heavens, what digression on this site! The sad fact of the matter is that this poor young budgie escaped someone's home and then fell prey to the dangers of the outside with no inkling of the harm to which it was exposed. Bird owners, be mindful and cautious!
wow, that's a crazy and sad story. Should have put a cage outside and see if he would fly into it. Heard of people doing that before, seems to work if the Bird is looking for a home.
that was a young parakeet, months old. It still had the black rings on its forehead and you can tell it's young by its chirp. Instead of filming it you should've caught the damn thing and given it up for adoption. Dummy
@feger101 he lives in new jersey apparently, and with the amount of budgies that look like that and have escaped their owners ide have to call that a 1 in 1000000 chance of being your budgie. also given the fact that that budgie was killed by a hawk if you read the description.
@MEXIboy71 that would be a good idea but how is he going to wet it outside without injuring it? because if he used a hose the water would be too heavy, and even if you set the hose to mist you have to get close up to the budgie without frightening it and would be very difficult.
This parakeet doesn't look like he's a few years old but a few months old. The strips on his head give his age away. Poor little guy, most parakeets don't survive in city life
a few years ago my family were sitting outside when my older brother points at this parakeet on the next door neighbor's tree in the backyard so my dad grabs a plastic bag, climbs on the fence with only tree branches to keep him from falling manages to catch the parakeet and put it inside his bird cage with another parakeet already inside.
im sorry and i mean no offence to all of you hear that seem genuinely concerns but im an Aussie and its a budgerigar the hardiest bird in Australia its survives harsh drought ,bush fires and snow , where it lives gets to 48c in the summer and minus 2 c at night it can quite happily look after itself , as with all introduced birds the danger wont be to him but to your native birds
I was about to head in when i saw the bugger. I stood around the food container with the little keet and kept an eye on the hawk. I had a bad feeling if I left what would happen. so I just waited- the hawks seemed to figure it was going to have to go through ME to get to the keet, the hawk eventually flew off- and i managed to coax the keet in the house- 2 years later my 'adopted' keet is happy as a clam
hmm i dont know its nose is a dark blue doent that mean heat so must be a bit old? just like when the females turn a dark reddish brown, and it doesnt looked clipped but yeah confusing :s i guess well never knnow :P
it appears to me that the outdoor parakeet's wings are clipped. I suspect that it somehow got away from its owner. If you see it again, please catch it and care for it or run an ad for lost and found bird. I agree, this bird is very young. :(
dude your lying, you say you saw this bird over the last 3 years, and the budgie in your video is very young (2-4 months old) it still has stripes on its head, budgies lose those stripes when they become adults (4 months or older) so WTF?
this is very very sad, its a young parakeet judging by its stripped head, parakeets are not wild, they are household pets and you can only find a wild parakeet back in australia so that guy must be lost, yu should have tried to catch it somehow and feed it or shelter it instead of recording
@dividednation44 Plenty of wild parakeets in the US. Check out the huge population of wild green parakeets in Bridgeport, Connecticut where they build large communal nests to survive cold winters.
i want to tell you how moved i was by your video and notes. truly the most existential and touching account i have ever witnessed on youtube. the way he looked into the camera and chirped one last time before the end of the footage is so beautiful. thank you for your post and i am sorry your little friend is gone. perhaps this short documentary of yours will immortalize his soul through the eyes of everyone who views it.
INSTEAD OF TAKING A FUCKING VIDEO GRAB THE PARAKEET AND KEEP IT YOU GOT SEEDS AND EVERYTHING. AND PLUS HO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN AND THEN BOOM HE DIES THAS STUPID I WOULD OF KEEP THAT CHUBBY BIRD :)
Once when I was doing my homework, I looked outside into the backyard and saw a parakeet land. I wanted to catch it and maybe keep it or turn it in somewhere... but it flew away before I could think of how I would do that.
@FukaDesuNoto well, for one thing, IT IS NOT COLD ALL YEAR LONG! it gets up to +35C in the summer and you feel like you wanna die in the heat...lol, this winter it wasnt that bad, it only snowed lightly once and for christmas all we had for snow were these brownish-white hard lumps of 2 month old snow everywhere because it didnt snow...of course the day after christmas it did snow a little, and just now it is getting really cold
*i have a lot to say so im posting another comment*
@FukaDesuNoto we were lucky and it stayed from up to +5C to -5C which is amazing for christmas time! so now it is dropping down to the minus 10's and 20's :( i really dont like the cold lol but im going to hawaii this month so ill be able to get away from it all :) also ive never seen a polar bear nor an igloo in person in my life (or at a distance for that matter) and i hardly ever say "eh" ALSO im not obsessed with our national anthem!! lol...anyway that is what canadas like! :)
@TheSpeedPainteress Ahaha, and I'm not obsessed with patriotism or obese, but I do eat a lot of hamburgers because they're one of my favorite foods. My mom is tired of them and has trouble believing I'm not. ^_^U Where I live, it barely gets hot or cold, so at the slightest temperature change, everyone is complaining. And even though we learned conversions in Chemistry this year, I forgot Farenheit to Celsius over Winter Break. XD (I have a second comment too.)
@TheSpeedPainteress So I would have to use an online converter to know exactly what temperatures you were referring to. I've never seen snow in real life. I'd like to sometime, but I wonder sometimes if I would be able to handle the cold. And... I like the simplicity and uniqueness of Canada's flag. America's flag is rather busy. I've seen it so many times in my life now, I'm almost sick of it because it makes me think of politics. >_>
@FukaDesuNoto tbh, i like our flag too, lots of people seem to have issues drawing the leaf but to me its easy
i was gonna give a link for a converter, but then i thought "theyll figure it out" lol and u did
no offense, but i agree (lol did that make sense?) ur flag is rather busy, i mean really, is some kid who has to draw it for school or something (ive had to draw ours several times) gonna remember where each star/stripe goes?
anyway nice chat :) check out my vids! ill look @urs
@TheSpeedPainteress Exactly. But there are 13 stripes and red is first, so it's also last. It would be a pain to draw all 50 stars perfectly in diagonal lines, so we really just draw a simplified version and everyone gets the idea. XD
Yeah, this was fun. I'll take a look at your stuff. :)
How could you have seen him around for the past 2-3 years when he's still a juvenile (note the stripes on the top of his head. Budgies lose those when they get mature)?
well i dunt wanna be the first one to say this butit may or may not be reall . i can just take my budgies out side and make a video uv a wild budgie so......
met an early death. see how fluffed up he is?? he is scared 4 sure. they also fluff if tired or sick. maybe in other parts of the world parakeets have integrated and interbred with wild birds and have evolved, over decades, into a wild breed. however, in a pet parakeet, the wild traits were bred out!
@4lifeblt No they have not integrated or interbred with wild birds any where. Not only do different species not interbreed and produce fertile offspring, but there are just no wild populations of budgies outside of Australia, As that is the only place they are naturally wild .
@4lifeblt actually, all parakeets and budgies are wild birds, just some of them are bred in captivity to be kept as pets. Even the captive born-ones retain their wild nature, which is why it takes so much effort to tame the pet bird, compared with domesticated pets like dogs.
@4lifeblt Hi, I just felt like informing about one error in your facts about budgies. Budgies are happy and feel safe when they are fluffed up. When they are scared they press their feathers close to their body and stretch their head to the highest possible to make them selves ready to fly, the also look around far more to find a place to fly to. However you are right that budgies fluff up when they are sick, but then they often stand still in shelter. This guy was happy on this clip :)
There's this budgie that visits my balcony regularly, it's an escaped bird, but it has survived the initial period of being outside. It's integrated into a flock of introduced Spotted Turtle-Doves, and is surviving really well. My family and I were thinking of capturing it, but it seems to be doing so well, it feels rather pointless. I live in Australia, but outside the Budgie's distribution range.
@canadianlove13 Except in recessive pied and double factor dominant pied budgies. The nest way to tell is a combination of things such as: the barring on the head, the colour of it's cere, the colour of its irises and the fluffiness of its facial feathers.
Oh Well I think you should really get a bird cage and save it in their because its lost and a predator will eat it and it will die after being in the wild for more than 1 week
I think the poster made the right decision. The bird made the choice of freedom over safety when it escaped from its last owner. We have no right to re-enslave it because of our selfish ideas that the bird "needs" a human owner. The lowest ave. temp. in central Australia is 5 deg C, and in some years it goes below 0. Also, there are feral Ringnecked Parakeets, which come from a tropical climate in London. So I'm sure an escaped Budgie can survive in NJ, given a chance.
@ph0masta You're kidding, right? The bird isn't "making a choice". You wouldn't let a human child wander outside and stay there because "it chose freedom". Additionally, feral parakeets surviving /= domestic parakeets surviving. They are ill-prepared for life in the wild, as they have no experience with predator evasion. Some people have also survived in rural Alaska by themselves, but if you suddenly placed the average person in that unknown environment, they'd be pretty screwed.
@BlackEvanescence But the is not a child, it is an adult, wild bird capable of surviving on its own. It deserves to live the life it chooses. We can force them to be our pets, but in essence they are still wild. Also a city is not the same as "rural Alaska," it has many places to find food and shelter, as well as flocks of other small birds that it can follow for safety.
@ph0masta Exactly, it's an adult /bird/. It's not capable of making that "decision" with full understanding of what it means. Some dogs will drink antifreeze; we shouldn't let them kill themselves because they're "choosing" it, we should stop them because they are acting out of instinct. Dogs drink poisonous antifreeze because it's sweet; birds fly "outside" because they don't recognize that this is any less safe than flying "inside".
@ph0masta And no, a domesticated bird is very different from a wild bird. A domesticated bird has been raised with people, and with no experience of how to live in the wild. Even if there are wild birds in the same breed, that's like saying that you or I could survive in rural alaska, yes, just because inuits could and they're human too. YOU might be able to survive in a city, because you know where to find food or shelter there, but a bird does not and cannot.
@BlackEvanescence Technically pet birds are not domesticated. The only domesticated birds are fowl, such as the chicken and duck. Just because you keep it as a pet, does not make it domesticated. A pet tiger is not a domestic animal. A domestic animal is something humans have bred to naturally stay around humans and have changed their body shape to suit what we require of them. No new animals have been domesticated in the last 4000 years
@ph0masta We know how to navigate in the city and survive because we can read directions, because our parents took us out to shop for food, because they taught us that buses are dangerous if you step in front of them. We've been prepared for a life in the area we're used to living in; nobody has ever taken these birds outside and shown them how to avoid predators like raccoons or find food in bushes. These birds have been trained to eat birdseed, fruits, veggies, out of a bowl, ready-made.
@ph0masta Which is good, because that's what a pet bird needs to know to be a PET. But it is not prepared to be a wild bird, it does not realize what being a wild bird means, and it almost definitely would die out there if left unattended. It'd be the same and plunking the average suburbanite down on their ass in the wilderness and expecting us to know how to survive unaided.
@BlackEvanescence Its much easier for a budgie to find food in the wild than a human, and they have stronger instincts that they can rely on than a human. In the wild their natural diet is grass seeds, which are literally everywhere. Additionally many people leave out birdseed in the urban area. I'm sure that it could discover what to eat in the wild by trial and error or by following the flocks of wild seed eating birds that have a similar diet. (response cont...)
Also instinctively birds flock with other birds for saftely, so if it joins a flock of birds of a different speices it has a good chance of survival. For example, in my neighborhood I often saw a Red Crowned Parakeet follow the local flock of crows for saftey. So if the wild budgie has figured out a survival strategy and is unwilling to be captured, maybe its better to leave it alone.
that reminds me of my bird that escapen today. he was on me and some one left the door open and he flew out. I went out to look with my dad and we kept mixing him up with diffrent birds we could,t see that well in the trees. I finaly heard him and he was on a little branch that was still growing and it was low down so we got him.

This video makes me very mad! Next time you see it TAKE IT IN! It's not wild! Parakeets live naturally in flocks in Australia. Recently my blue parakeet escaped and if anybody just filmed and said it was a wild parakeet I would tear their heads off! It's not safe for them!
@brandavies I know, but obviously you have never lost a parakeet. Or even owned one. I feel really strongly about parakeets just roaming around and people doing nothing about it
@spazzycat28 I do, in fact. :P His name is Bruce. And to my credit, I have never been irresponsible enough to let something like that happen. Regardless of what I may 'feel', I -know- that most people are probably ignorant as to what they perhaps -should- do. But then again, why should they? It's no one's responsibility but mine to look after my budgie, and I would expect most pet owners to feel the same. I would appreciate someone taking him in, but is it fair to expect it of them?
@brandavies I'm not yelling at him and calling him stupid and dumb like other people do on youtube, I'm suggesting that that's the best thing to do. And it really hurt my feelings when you said that thing about being irresponsible. Accidents happen. It's not like I let my parakeet fly around outside and hope he came back. You don't know how heart broken I was. I cried for hours.
@spazzycat28 Haven't you read the description? A hawk took it, and he/she couldn't get near it until the footage was taken, and short after this video, it was dead. And as brandavies says, you can't expect everyone to think this way... And it doesn't take an ownership of a parakeet to know that.
@spazzycat28 A person who doesn't know where they live... He could also be referring "wild" as in "feral". Its wild in that sense that its not tame any more, because he couldn't get to it. Bred tame or not, what difference does it make? He couldn't get to it, and therefore he couldn't take it in.
@twilightpony223 Actually parakeet is a name for a small parrot with a long tail. That is what it means. There are many different species of parakeet such as: Indian ringneck parakeet, plum-headed parakeet, red crowned parakeet, yellow crowned parakeet, eastern rosella, crimson rosella, grass parakeet, turquoisine, red rumped parakeet, budgerigar, stanley's rosella... and the list goes on.
@twilightpony223 All the birds I listed are pet birds except the yellow crowned parakeet. And the term parakeet for budgerigar is only really used in America, for some reason they don't like to call them by their proper name.
It was calling out in the "where" sort of tweet. I have a budgie named Toby and he is my sweet baby. I know his various sounds he makes and can tell how he's doing by listening.
My husband and I were watching TV one day when I heard a bird cheeping outside. I went onto our balcony and there was a blue parakeet sitting on the railing. I held out my finger and he stepped right up on it! I waved to my neighbors across the street and asked if it was their bird. They said no. I thought about bringing it inside but I have three cats so that was a no-go! I took it back outside and it flew off my finger and into a nearby tree. I hope it will be OK out there.
@Allopexx I typed "blue budgie" into Google and those images are what it looked like. It wasn't very big and wasn't an Indian ringneck. It was certainly making happy sounds. Crazy huh?
Well next time anyone sees a budgie bird in their yard, please know it is NOT a wild bird, but an imported bird that was once somebody;s pet that for whatever reason is outside, vulnerable to prediters they are not familiar with so cannot know how to protect themselves though any natural reactions, and all sorts of weather conditions - so call your local veteriarian(s), preferably an avian one, and find out how to lure the budgie with millet-spray (favourite treat), then learn how to care for it
@meriprem I found one one time on the sidewalk hiding under some weeds and rocks. obviously someone lost it. they cannot live outside long . another time I had a lovebird outside ina cage and another lost lovebird came and I coaxed it into the cage with a plate of food.
@meriprem Budgies come from Australia where they deal with dingos, snakes and goannas. They know how to protect themselves from natural predators. They are not stupid. My budgies are weary of anything they do not know. It's only issues would be finding food as they eat grasses and seeds, and the temperatures of the climate that it is in.
That was a young bird, just a baby, not the same one you may have seen for 2-3 years, you can tell by the dark bars on the head that it's just a young parakeet. As they mature, they will lose the bars and the head would be solid yellow.
If i was you i would like to give that poor bird MY HOME and make it healthy! I LOVE IT! It looks like the new parakeet i'm going to buy....my birthday!!!^^^^
@Residentevilfan500 wow how retarded are you? He obviously would if he could you stupid fuck. He can't get close to it, or else it'll just fly away. Durr? Why don't you try going up and catching a wild bird, think you can? Upload it you stupid fuck. Fuck I hate ignorant people like you.
um i think that you should've taken the poor little bird and put it inside a cage because it looks like its a young parakeet and it looks like it excaped out of someones home it doesnt has its wings clipped so it could be possible.WELL thats my opinion sooo :)
I donn't know if it was the filmer's pet bird or not.
What I know is that the filmer couldn't have seen the bird over 2 to 3 Jears long flying because the age of the bird in the video is at maximum 3 to 4 months. Just look at the lines on the forehead an the color of the nose (00:15).
@MizzyTheQueen You cannot fault a bird for doing its job and in some countries its illegal to do so. The budgie is a youngster, it got out from someone's avaiery or cage, it was the fault of the owner for not keeping the bird safe. If the owner knew what happened, they'd be upset and horrified. A bird does what nature intends; but human stupidity causes uneeded suffering and this case, the end of a young birds life. At its age, it wouldn't have known what to expect, or to stay safe.
DAMMET so thats were that little cracker went...

@FukaDesuNoto we were lucky and it stayed from up to +5C to -5C which is amazing for christmas time! so now it is dropping down to the minus 10's and 20's :( i really dont like the cold lol but im going to hawaii this month so ill be able to get away from it all :) also ive never seen a polar bear nor an igloo in person in my life (or at a distance for that matter) and i hardly ever say "eh" ALSO im not obsessed with our national anthem!! lol...anyway that is what canadas like! :)

@TheSpeedPainteress Ahaha, and I'm not obsessed with patriotism or obese, but I do eat a lot of hamburgers because they're one of my favorite foods. My mom is tired of them and has trouble believing I'm not. ^_^U Where I live, it barely gets hot or cold, so at the slightest temperature change, everyone is complaining. And even though we learned conversions in Chemistry this year, I forgot Farenheit to Celsius over Winter Break. XD (I have a second comment too.)
FukaDesuNoto 1 month ago
@TheSpeedPainteress So I would have to use an online converter to know exactly what temperatures you were referring to. I've never seen snow in real life. I'd like to sometime, but I wonder sometimes if I would be able to handle the cold. And... I like the simplicity and uniqueness of Canada's flag. America's flag is rather busy. I've seen it so many times in my life now, I'm almost sick of it because it makes me think of politics. >_>

@FukaDesuNoto tbh, i like our flag too, lots of people seem to have issues drawing the leaf but to me its easy
i was gonna give a link for a converter, but then i thought "theyll figure it out" lol and u did
no offense, but i agree (lol did that make sense?) ur flag is rather busy, i mean really, is some kid who has to draw it for school or something (ive had to draw ours several times) gonna remember where each star/stripe goes?
anyway nice chat :) check out my vids! ill look @urs

@TheSpeedPainteress Exactly. But there are 13 stripes and red is first, so it's also last. It would be a pain to draw all 50 stars perfectly in diagonal lines, so we really just draw a simplified version and everyone gets the idea. XD
Yeah, this was fun. I'll take a look at your stuff. :)

oh, how very sad！ most assuredly , he
met an early death. see how fluffed up he is?? he is scared 4 sure. they also fluff if tired or sick. maybe in other parts of the world parakeets have integrated and interbred with wild birds and have evolved, over decades, into a wild breed. however, in a pet parakeet, the wild traits were bred out!

thecrazyappleoflife 6 months ago
@4lifeblt No they have not integrated or interbred with wild birds any where. Not only do different species not interbreed and produce fertile offspring, but there are just no wild populations of budgies outside of Australia, As that is the only place they are naturally wild .
Allopexx 6 months ago
@4lifeblt actually, all parakeets and budgies are wild birds, just some of them are bred in captivity to be kept as pets. Even the captive born-ones retain their wild nature, which is why it takes so much effort to tame the pet bird, compared with domesticated pets like dogs.
ph0masta 6 months ago
@4lifeblt Hi, I just felt like informing about one error in your facts about budgies. Budgies are happy and feel safe when they are fluffed up. When they are scared they press their feathers close to their body and stretch their head to the highest possible to make them selves ready to fly, the also look around far more to find a place to fly to. However you are right that budgies fluff up when they are sick, but then they often stand still in shelter. This guy was happy on this clip :)

There's this budgie that visits my balcony regularly, it's an escaped bird, but it has survived the initial period of being outside. It's integrated into a flock of introduced Spotted Turtle-Doves, and is surviving really well. My family and I were thinking of capturing it, but it seems to be doing so well, it feels rather pointless. I live in Australia, but outside the Budgie's distribution range.

starluv2 6 months ago
I think the poster made the right decision. The bird made the choice of freedom over safety when it escaped from its last owner. We have no right to re-enslave it because of our selfish ideas that the bird "needs" a human owner. The lowest ave. temp. in central Australia is 5 deg C, and in some years it goes below 0. Also, there are feral Ringnecked Parakeets, which come from a tropical climate in London. So I'm sure an escaped Budgie can survive in NJ, given a chance.
ph0masta 6 months ago
@ph0masta You're kidding, right? The bird isn't "making a choice". You wouldn't let a human child wander outside and stay there because "it chose freedom". Additionally, feral parakeets surviving /= domestic parakeets surviving. They are ill-prepared for life in the wild, as they have no experience with predator evasion. Some people have also survived in rural Alaska by themselves, but if you suddenly placed the average person in that unknown environment, they'd be pretty screwed.

@BlackEvanescence But the is not a child, it is an adult, wild bird capable of surviving on its own. It deserves to live the life it chooses. We can force them to be our pets, but in essence they are still wild. Also a city is not the same as "rural Alaska," it has many places to find food and shelter, as well as flocks of other small birds that it can follow for safety.
ph0masta 6 months ago
@ph0masta Exactly, it's an adult /bird/. It's not capable of making that "decision" with full understanding of what it means. Some dogs will drink antifreeze; we shouldn't let them kill themselves because they're "choosing" it, we should stop them because they are acting out of instinct. Dogs drink poisonous antifreeze because it's sweet; birds fly "outside" because they don't recognize that this is any less safe than flying "inside".
BlackEvanescence 6 months ago
@ph0masta And no, a domesticated bird is very different from a wild bird. A domesticated bird has been raised with people, and with no experience of how to live in the wild. Even if there are wild birds in the same breed, that's like saying that you or I could survive in rural alaska, yes, just because inuits could and they're human too. YOU might be able to survive in a city, because you know where to find food or shelter there, but a bird does not and cannot.
BlackEvanescence 6 months ago
@BlackEvanescence Technically pet birds are not domesticated. The only domesticated birds are fowl, such as the chicken and duck. Just because you keep it as a pet, does not make it domesticated. A pet tiger is not a domestic animal. A domestic animal is something humans have bred to naturally stay around humans and have changed their body shape to suit what we require of them. No new animals have been domesticated in the last 4000 years
Allopexx 6 months ago
@ph0masta We know how to navigate in the city and survive because we can read directions, because our parents took us out to shop for food, because they taught us that buses are dangerous if you step in front of them. We've been prepared for a life in the area we're used to living in; nobody has ever taken these birds outside and shown them how to avoid predators like raccoons or find food in bushes. These birds have been trained to eat birdseed, fruits, veggies, out of a bowl, ready-made.
BlackEvanescence 6 months ago
@ph0masta Which is good, because that's what a pet bird needs to know to be a PET. But it is not prepared to be a wild bird, it does not realize what being a wild bird means, and it almost definitely would die out there if left unattended. It'd be the same and plunking the average suburbanite down on their ass in the wilderness and expecting us to know how to survive unaided.
BlackEvanescence 6 months ago
@BlackEvanescence Its much easier for a budgie to find food in the wild than a human, and they have stronger instincts that they can rely on than a human. In the wild their natural diet is grass seeds, which are literally everywhere. Additionally many people leave out birdseed in the urban area. I'm sure that it could discover what to eat in the wild by trial and error or by following the flocks of wild seed eating birds that have a similar diet. (response cont...)
ph0masta 6 months ago
Also instinctively birds flock with other birds for saftely, so if it joins a flock of birds of a different speices it has a good chance of survival. For example, in my neighborhood I often saw a Red Crowned Parakeet follow the local flock of crows for saftey. So if the wild budgie has figured out a survival strategy and is unwilling to be captured, maybe its better to leave it alone.

@spazzycat28 I do, in fact. :P His name is Bruce. And to my credit, I have never been irresponsible enough to let something like that happen. Regardless of what I may 'feel', I -know- that most people are probably ignorant as to what they perhaps -should- do. But then again, why should they? It's no one's responsibility but mine to look after my budgie, and I would expect most pet owners to feel the same. I would appreciate someone taking him in, but is it fair to expect it of them?

@brandavies I'm not yelling at him and calling him stupid and dumb like other people do on youtube, I'm suggesting that that's the best thing to do. And it really hurt my feelings when you said that thing about being irresponsible. Accidents happen. It's not like I let my parakeet fly around outside and hope he came back. You don't know how heart broken I was. I cried for hours.
spazzycat28 6 months ago
@spazzycat28 Haven't you read the description? A hawk took it, and he/she couldn't get near it until the footage was taken, and short after this video, it was dead. And as brandavies says, you can't expect everyone to think this way... And it doesn't take an ownership of a parakeet to know that.

@spazzycat28 A person who doesn't know where they live... He could also be referring "wild" as in "feral". Its wild in that sense that its not tame any more, because he couldn't get to it. Bred tame or not, what difference does it make? He couldn't get to it, and therefore he couldn't take it in.

Well next time anyone sees a budgie bird in their yard, please know it is NOT a wild bird, but an imported bird that was once somebody;s pet that for whatever reason is outside, vulnerable to prediters they are not familiar with so cannot know how to protect themselves though any natural reactions, and all sorts of weather conditions - so call your local veteriarian(s), preferably an avian one, and find out how to lure the budgie with millet-spray (favourite treat), then learn how to care for it

@meriprem Budgies come from Australia where they deal with dingos, snakes and goannas. They know how to protect themselves from natural predators. They are not stupid.

@MizzyTheQueen You cannot fault a bird for doing its job and in some countries its illegal to do so. The budgie is a youngster, it got out from someone's avaiery or cage, it was the fault of the owner for not keeping the bird safe. If the owner knew what happened, they'd be upset and horrified. A bird does what nature intends; but human stupidity causes uneeded suffering and this case, the end of a young birds life. At its age, it wouldn't have known what to expect, or to stay safe.
