    Okay, this guy is technically not OUR pet, but we found him flying around our house Saturday night. A pie plate full of bird seed and a lot of patience got the bird coaxed out of a tree and ultimately into our house. An email to our neighborhood's listserv quickly identified the owners who had spent the day frantically searching the neighborhood for their escaped pet, named Picard. We were significantly farther away from their house than they had anticipated he would have wandered.
    A memorable evening....

    I'm so glad you were able to find him and coax him in. What a hansom boy!

    A beautiful male Eclectus! I am glad to hear that it had a happy ending and the owners found him. They must have been very relieved!

    Beautiful eclectus, I'm so glad you had the guts to catch him. I've always been amazed at the number of people afraid of my bird, and he's a little smaller.
    I'm glad for his people, too!

    That is such a beautiful bird. I think it is amazing that you found it and that you were able to find its owners. Awesome!
