Look what I found!

I walked into the kitchen this morning and looked out the window toward the bird feeder, which I’d filled yesterday afternoon around 4:00pm.

Suddenly this guy appeared.

We’re speculating that he’s an escapee from a cage somewhere nearby, although Hawai’i Audobon says there are four introduced parrot/parakeet species which have or have had small populations here. There are no native parrots or parakeets in Hawai’i. He does look a lot like a Rose-ringed parakeet.

We’ve never seen a bird that size in our yard before, other than the ubiquitous pigeons who prowl the ground below the feeder for spillage. It’s a mystery.
