Christina,

A few years ago a friend had a parakeet coming to her feeder. She was concerned that he would not survive the coming winter. With the advice of a rescue group (probably PAWS) she was able to capture the bird and keep him as a pet. To keep him company, she also adopted another parakeet from a shelter in Seattle. The other parakeet had also been an escapee who had been caught in the wild. The two escapees quickly became fast friends and talked up a storm presumably about their adventures in the wild.

If the parakeet continues to come to your feeder, you may want to consider trapping him.
