Excuse my ignorance on this subject, but yesterday a beautiful small green parrot sat outside my house singing away. I wasn't sure it was the kind of bird you let out for a bit to spread its wings then it would safely return home.
So I kept an eye on it, went up for a close up look etc. It didn't get nervous, but eventually it toddled off. I watched it fly, it didn't look that impressive, sort of bumped into things and crash landed.
It was getting dark by now, and it was spending most of the time on the deck, I live in Kenny, unfortunately there are quite a few rats in the area and I was worried about this bird.
I got talking to this bloke who seemed to knew his stuff on parrots and he reckoned it could be wild, but more likely to be lost. So we thought best try to catch it and take indoors.
Eventually I managed to corner it and without harming it safely put in a large box. The fella said he would drop it this morning to the RSPCA in Speke. Meanwhile I will inform local shops about what happened.
It was a beautiful bird, different shades of green with a red beak. Hope it's ok.
