Hit it with the but of the Gamo rifle...
Once it's unconscious (this could take a while being that the butt of the rifle is plastic) put it in a shoebox, snap a pic and post it up on Facebook and Next door... $150 dropped, in cash and a new Gamo Whisper rifle in exchange for the parrot. Brilliant!

Whatever it is, it’s gotta be a high maintenance beating of a pet.

Or breast it out, wrap it with jalapeno and bacon then throw it on the grill. Nothing quite like a blue breasted parakeet wrapped in a jalapeño and bacon. Find a way to add some cream cheese for the trifecta.

Looks like a parakeet but hard to tell it’s actual size. Parakeets are small birds. If you got that close it is a tame bird.
Retirement best job ever.

Won’t last long outside. It doesn’t know what predators are.

I had nothing to catch it with or I would have tried. Tried to call the close by Petco to see if they had one escape but they were closed. Then it flew off into the neighbors yard.

They would occasionally get out of the cage with the kids opening the cage door and fly up on the non moving ceiling fan blades and perch. I would turn the fan on just a little bit and watch them rock back and forth trying to stay on. Eventually they would fly off.

I had a parakeet about 10 years ago that kept coming to my bird feeder. It looked almost the same - white with some blue. It always showed up with a flock of sparrows. I would go out there and the sparrows would take off, and he would sit on the feeder until I got about 2 feet away. Never could catch him.

This one caught my eye as it flew through the water spray and flew into the crepe myrtle.

I've had birds like that before. The problem is their beaks over grow. So I looked up the fix abd found a diagram . So I secured the bird and drew exact lines to file. Got it done properly but when I took his head out of the shop vice it was dead.
