That’s a budgerigar. Judging by how tame he is, he’s definitely a lost pet. It’s sad somebody didn’t get this sweet little man back. But thank you for loving him and giving him a great home. He’s definitely in good hands with you.

Yeah, but the previous owner didn't make much effort to get him back if they announced it on FB groups and left him to Humane soceity for 2 weeks.

As a Dad to teo of these little beauties you can't imagine how happy this makes this unrepentant bird nerd. Too many parrots, of all types, end up in terrible situations because people buy them on a whim or without researching them. People don't understand the commitment it takes to own a parrot so they all too often go neglected. Seeing this video brought tears to my eyes. The little guy seemed to know the right house to go into! I wish them many years of happiness with this little bundle of joy.

[@AveryCreates]

How much people time should they have a day? Like, to be happy and bond. I work a lot but have always wanted to home a few of these. I know I can't do bigger bigger birds; but might have space for 2 or 3 of these guys.

So true! I have horses, and have been researching birds for years.

He's clearly very tame that he just walked into a house with people around and didn't flinch or fly away. My budgie Sweetu flew away back in the 1990s and my parents asked around the neighbourhood but had no luck finding him. A domesticated bird like him couldn't survive the cold British weather so I just hope wherever he went, that he was able to find a nice family like yours and a nice place to call home.

[@keanuridgie6852]

I know in my heart that the domesticated budgerigar is so intelligent that yours found its way to a good human!! Animals know to get help when in trouble or hungry! Our very first budgie girl was caught by hand by my husband after she appeared by our feet while we were out feeding fish bread crumbs off of a pier!! Amongst sparrow and zebra doves that were around us to collect fallen crumbs, she really stood out in her white wings and apple green and yellow feathers! He just crouched down and she ate some bread crumbs from his hand and with the other he gently but swiftly grabbed her!!! She is home with us for almost two years now along with a companion new baby blue boy budgie who are just perfect together! I know your baby is in a safe and warm loving home too🥰

Definitely someone's pet, he spoke some Italian and Japanese words Lol; right away he made himself at home. We had a big cat, 10 years old Maine Coon, he was very territorial and could never accept other cats, but somehow they became great friends; lucky could walk on his head, pick his ears and our cat just loved him.

All birds are a gift. It's so refreshing to see someone appreciate them like your family does. And see YOU get joy and as excited as that pretty bird does over certain treats u give him. And he is a boy. Good for you for knowing how to tell on parakeets anyway. Some birds u have to do bloodwork or wait till they just start laying eggs someday. That is a real shock when u find out a bird u have had for awhile...just drops an egg lol and u were calling "her" a "him" for half a yr or more. That happened to me as a small child a couple times with cocktails and lovebirds. I love how you love your new family member. And that is exactly what that bird is. He's not "just a bird" as so many ppl like to say. They have bigger personalities than some dogs &at times (lots of times depending on the breed especially) are as smart or even smarter. Ppl don't like hearing that when they don't "get birds". I'm a "dog person" thru and thru and I have no problem admitting how smart our birds were. We have just one now. We adopted a pidgeon. All white. He was getting attacked by several cats when someone rescued him. He has lots of PTSD. So even tho its been yrs...we are still taking it step by step. I can't imagine what he went thru. He was a domestic pidgeon. All white black eyes. Super gorgeous. Almost like a dove. But huge lol. He does get mad when we wake him on accident. He makes these noises like he's swearing at us under his breath lol. But we absolutely love him. The most we had was 6 birds at once. They all had their own homes and all got covered separately at nite. They behaved better in this way. Less fighting. Less stress. And more of them wanting to befriend us. They were not all the same breed anyway. But we loved hearing them all day. I can't imagine the world without birds in it. It would be so so awkwardly quiet outside. Like a store without their music when u can hear anyone sneeze or anything embarrassing they may accidentally do hahaha. Birds are absolutely amazing, smart, stunning and the world also needs them to control the bug population NATURALLY WITHOUT PESTICIDES. PESTICIDES are killing our birds and we must take action before we lose them all. Climate change as well but we can only help what we can control. Some things are over our heads unfortunately. Congratulations on being awesome humans and loving animals:)

My dream is to have a tropical bird show up at my door and door me. I’m happy Pfizer ended up with a great family who loves him!

[@palezombie1238]

The fact that someone took so well care of the bird and it makes it that mauve sadder the owner couldn’t be found

[@halfdome4158]

Such sweet people!❤

If you are going to get a Budgie then simple way to make him/her happy is get another - Social to the core and enjoy company,

[@jenmu7870]

yes!!

[@soulstar1008]

Grew up with Budgies my whole life in Canada. It's a Budgie shocked they didn't know .

[@joanna2787]

I really hope you got him a partner or plan on getting one. They really shouldn't be kept alone. Rescues should honestly make sure they don't get adopted by them selfes or that the potential owner already owns one and is looking for an additional bird. But other than that I loved your story and he seems very happy and well socialized!

[@brittaf2496]

I agree!! The little bird needs a partner. It's cruel when they are alone...😢

[@JamesWilliams-hp2xl]

Hello Joanna, how are you doing today?

[@mehere8038]

Sweden enforce this, I agree all should! Both birds should be kept in the same cage/space too, not in separate little cages where they can't have physical contact (I have 2 emotional basketcases that were kept like that, second one was acquired as company for the first, but they weren't put together, so still ended up really messed up emotionally :(( They're gradually getting better now though :)

[@NathanChisholm041]

He has passed on since this!

[@Ottedikkie]

Someone is missing him... He's been well taken care is before.

[@nicolesmeets8436]

This is so beautiful I’m so happy that you treat him like this. This is how I have mine. Also, they are the best companion, so grateful and so funny.

[@zoa1-99.......]

0:38 "We know there are no tropical birds around here. Only domesticated birds". So, The Dodo you're telling me that you only used that title as clickbait!

[@alicelee5045]

Pfizer is an independent little bird. He decided to choose his own family. He must not have been happy with his previous owners. He chose well because he gets lots of love, affection, friendship and freedom.

[@alicelee5045]

I just found out he passed away in April. Check out his Instagram account. It is lovely to see his photos and videos. He was happy. He was loved dearly.

[@TarbosaurusBaatar]

Pfizer probably was very happy with his owners and he just happened to escape. Usually birds are not keen to open up to people that easily if they weren’t treated well.

[@diyagupta7466]

Same has happend to me like 4 days ago and it's a budgie too.... it's so friendly and lovely 💖

[@sickofcrap8992]

They named the little guy Pfizer?! Weird. At least they seem to really love him, so he's safe and happy.

[@janicemoore30]

Almost certainly, someone in their family works for and or owns stock in that company.... Always selling 🤨

[@brandons9913]

Maybe the name Monsanto or Bill Gates was already taken in their household 😅

Miss my boy blue. He flew out the door. I was so upset. It was like the coldest day in minnesota that year. Like -10. I know he probably dead but oh man do I hope he is alive.

[@LivingMyBestLifeIAm]

That’s not “lucky” that they didn’t find his family. That’s tragic. Someone put their whole heart and soul into that bird and now he’s yours. As a rescuer, you should NEVER stop looking for his family. Don’t get me wrong, thank for for not turning him away and for keeping him safe but ….

[@UnitedKingdom100]

They did make efforts to find the bird's owner. Not everyone has ample time and money to "never" stop looking for a bird's owner. It's the owner that should be responsible enough to never stop looking for their bird.

[@TheSunnySide1616]

That responsibility doesn't lie on them- they did their part by genuinely looking for the owner. The owner would be the one who would have to actively look for him if they genuinely wanted their bird back.
