I have a parakeet at my bird feeder2007-11-24 17:22:08

I live in Northeast Nebraska. How do I catch it? Anyway I think it's a parakeet..it's green with a yellow head and belly.

Answers:

Sounds like someone either forgot to clip the birds wings, or they let it go because they didnt want to care for it anymore. If it is friendly you can try to see if it will come to you, otherwise it will fly away. The problem is where you live the Parakeet will not survive very long in the wild. If the wild birds don't kill it, the colder weather that will be coming will kill it. You could also try putting a small cage with Parakeet food in it and see if the bird will go into the cage on its own

It may be a finch. They do resemble parakeets.

To make sure it is a parakeet check and see if it is kinda fat but small. Anyways, well it is eating or drinking go over and cup your hands around it. Find a pic on the internet of the bird, then send it to me, I will tell you if it's a parakeet or not. Here is a picture of a parakeet for you to make sure:

Then go to your vet and get it tested for mites and stuff, ask him what you need, stuff like that.
