Hello,
Please help! I am new to parrots. We just rescued a parrot in our back yard yesterday evening.
Please let me know what kind of parrot he/she is and how large it should get as we need to purchase the correct size cage even if temporary.
He/she seemed to be starving last night when he/she was trying to get into our chicken coop. I put some bird seed in a bowl, shook it and showed it to him/her and it came running/flying into the bowl. I was able to put him/her into a dog kennel. while we ran to Walmart for some basic supplies. He/she was eating seed from the time we left until 11:30pm when we returned and tried to create a makeshift cage out of the kennel.
We have not seen him/her drink at all.
I keep checking on her however he/she is not making a peep and is still looking like he/she is trying to sleep. I had read they usually need 10-12 hrs of sleep per day. It has only been 9 hrs since we finished getting kennel set up and allowed him/her to go to sleep.
I have been looking on Nextdoor, and other area sites for anyone who may be missing him/her but have not seen any picture or post resembling him/her.
