What a great story about the captured parakeet and its friend. I lived for
many years in NYC, and one summer morning, a parakeet flew through the open
window of my 5th-floor apartment on the Upper West Side. A friend helped me
lure him into a birdcage she gave me later that day. He became a beloved
pet, sometimes perching on my plate in the morning to peck at my toast, or
flying in the hallway while singing. A few years alter he caught a chill,
unfortunately, and the vet couldn't save him. The serendipity of that
little bird flying into my apartment was a great experience.
