Cockatiel, found May 6, 2025 in Santa Cruz, CA. Found on a footpath along Branciforte Creek, near the Senior Center on Market Street. It is tame and friendly, landed on my husband’s shoulder, tolerated being picked up and transferred into a cage. It has been eating purchased bird seed (hasn’t touched the carrot or kiwi) and sleeping since we found it. Poor guy seems tired and hungry from its adventures! Gender unknown.
