I found this parakeet today outside my work. He was sitting on top of a car, looking at himself in the window. He didn't bite me when I picked him up so I brought him inside.

I immediately made a make-shift cage, snapped a picture and posted on a facebook page for lost and found pets in my area. I went home and brought back my travel carrier with some seeds and a drink of water, and he began eating and drinking immediately.

Thanks to social media, within two hours my workplace got a call from the owner. Winston is 10 years old and had been missing since Saturday (four days). She brought his cage in and when I put him inside he knew exactly where he was and seemed very happy so it was clear he was home! The owner was extremely thankful and was actually planning a funeral for him.

Well, that's my good deed for the day. I do love a happy ending :)

Aw, that is wonderful - I do love a happy ending!
 
Wow on the lam for 4 days, he’s lucky he didn’t become someone’s lunch! Well done and a happy outcome :)

Itzbean; how wonderful he found you, the best person to help him!!! Amazing! He is beautiful too glad he got back with his person!
 
Great job! \o/
(and a happy ending as well)
 
Wow what wonderful news! He's so cute and he has a cute name too. Sounds like his owner loves him a lot which is really wonderful to hear because budgies are sometimes not treated as the wonderful parrots they are! Cheers to Winston and his wonderful owner and you too Itzjbean.
 
Just for you, you hero, you!
