A temporary pet

This morning I was out for a brisk walk along the coastal path. I was watching the seagulls as I walked passed and then noticed a much smaller and different sounding one amongst them. It kept trying to land in the water and then changing its mind and landing on the path. When I got close enough I realised that it was a cockatiel. Very tame and I think quite hungry it let me catch it without too much effort at all. I have put up a note at the local pet food store. Isn't he beautiful!I propped this branch up against the mirror so that he could look at himself. He comes up your arm onto your head and chews your hair.
