Hi, last night my neighbors found a parakeet in their backyard, specifically a plum headed parakeet. I already have two parakeets and a spare clean cage on hand so after catching it I brought it home while we look for it’s owners. Does anyone know if they have any specific dietary needs or any other important things I should know about the species while caring for it? I have budgie pellets, nutriberries, and vegetables currently but can pick up any other food if needed. Also general advice for caring for a lost bird is appreciated!! Hopefully the owners will be located soon, I don’t think she was out for long. I can attach photos if needed. She doesn’t seem tired or even that nervous, just a little stressed with being in a new place, but her behavior is relatively normal.
