I don't know what to do to help them!!!..............:(

Try to catch them..

With garlic butter, it's delicious ...







j/k... Seriously, But if you catch them, maybe you can post an ad at the local pet shop (and CraigsList), their owner will certainly be happy to get them back :)

Unless they are trying to get to you or into your house, I doubt they need help. There are small populations of small parrots like that in a lot of metro areas. They get along by themselves just fine.

WOW cool thank you!!! Then I will just buy some food that is good for them and get a bird fountain and let them be my outside birdies!!!

Thanks alot I feel so much better now!!! :thumbsup :thumbsup

They have food, water, a place to hide... they are safe.

get a cage open the door, put some bird goodies in it. tie a string to the door and hide around the corner. When they go in to eat the goodies *bam shut the door. tweet tweet

No problem. They might be interested in a small wooden birdhouse if you want to keep them around. If it's a pair they may nest in it.

I used to have one,quite the lil characters

Those little green ones were brought over here from Mexico maybe. I see tons of peddlers down there tryin to pawn em off for next to nothin.

I dont know if they have diseases or worms or whatever. If your dog eats one and doesnt get sick then keeep em around.

If your dog does get sick then ditch the feeder ;) Jus my .02

Help them? Leaving them alone would probably be the best thing you could do for them.

I agree, you can't go wrong roasting them in garlic butter.

Already got that part!!! :winkwink:

Thanks again!!! I am going to go to Petsmart tomorrow and get a few birdie things for them outside so they stick around. I can't stand having birds in the house because they drive me nuts, so to have cute little birds like that outside would rock!!! :)

Lots of them in the Phoenix area.. The climate in Vegas isn't that much different, eh?

there's even a website for reporting sightings there..

Some of the info here is good

Thank you for the info!!!

Could you hit me up tomorrow morning??? I would love to talk to you about something you brought up to me a while ago, and I do not have your contact info!!! :)

I remember in the 80's when bush gardens closed down, they let out a bunch of green parrots, they use to fly all over the san fernando valley in a big group, I wonder if they are still doing that?

Exactly. Rejoice in their freedom! Nice pics.
Does me good to see them free. Never believed in caging a bird. (but jmo, I'm not interested in any debates)

they look tasty

They really enjoy to ride on the ceiling fan.

Make sure to tape a sock tightly around one paddle so they can get a good grip, otherwise they slip off at higher RPM's.

I'd be more worried about that shady looking pigeon.

They are of the Agapornnidian family, also know as Porn Birds or Love Birds.

If you live in the right climate, they may survive outdoors. They would die here in the winter.



I used to raise them - if they were raised in captivity, it should be simple to catch them by moving the feeder into a cage.

These two look like my pair, Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

Here is a recipe to roast it properly http://www.honest-food.net/blog1/wil...igeon-recipes/

Now I'm sure that the carpet matches the drapes.

Those are definitely Lovebirds. We used to breed them. Pet store would give us $70 per bird. Was a nice side business back in the day.

Let them be... ;) seems like they are happy like that...

and you get to keep the company of those two cool birds :D

Eat them raw, just like in "The Hills Have Eyes"...

I would call local animal control. they would know better about the birds if they are part of the area or birds who got away.
