Like this evening for instance...I had planned on picking out some papers to finish the last of the set of four Betsy Bluebell cards but that got interrupted when I went to go let Lucy back in the house. I looked out and on a branch of my apple tree was a light yellow bird. Well there are no light yellow birds around here, at least not natural habitat. I walked out toward the tree and saw it was a parakeet! I ran back in the house and grabbed the camera to take a few pictures.
I wanted to save the parakeet from the wild and I tried luring it with some bread. I tried asking God for help. I even tried using a piece of mesh to catch it, but it was not to be. I chased it down the alley but then it flew too fast and too high for me to catch it. Of course trying to chase a parakeet down a gravel alley barefooted isn't always the best way to catch a bird. I hope it finds a safe place to stay! If it would come back here I would give it a loving home. I tried telling it that but it didn't listen *okie really wishes she could speak parakeetese*.
Oh I wish you could have gotten the little guy. :-(
ReplyDeletePoor little thing. We had one when i lived with my parents, and it lived for 20 years. Thats old. Thank you for trying to get him.
ReplyDeletePoor little bird-- but I gotta be honest, I pictured you chasing it down barefoot and really cracked up.
ReplyDeleteIt looks healthy, so, it is likely to find its way home. Keep us posted.
Oh Okie I will pray it finds it's way home or to a new home. Would love to see a video of you chasing a parakeet. lol

WOW ... Okie running down a gravel alley in her bare feet, trying to catch a parkeet, sounds like a Kodak Moment to me!
ReplyDeleteJust you wait, Okie ... that pretty yellow critter just might return, as I suspect you speak better "parakeetese" than you think you do! *wink*
Thanx for sharing this fun story and the pics of your pretty bird!
