A colleague of ours –- a novice birder, at best
-- swears she saw a yellow parakeet at DeKorte Park
She says,
"It is definitely not a
goldfinch, but what do I know? It did have that kind of parakeet beak, a long tail & was bright
yellow. Would this be a first?"
If you
are that photographer, or know of him
(in his late 30s, early 40s, mid-height and thin, and wearing a red baseball
cap), we sure would like to see a photo, just to confirm that our
colleague isn't (completely)
crazy and that she really did see an escaped parakeet.
Today I saw a bright yellow parakeet(budgie) in my neighbors yard. I thought it was someones pet. I thought I'd see if it was tame and try to catch it, no such luck. Come to find out there are wild parakeets in NY and Long Island, I am new to the area. I know this was a budgie. I was standing about 2 feet away from it. I regret not taking a picture.
