Welcome to the story of Angel a lost Budgie, Jerry and Sally, wild Quaker Parrots.
The story takes place close to the Everglades in South Florida where many indoor socialized parrots are released or lost every year. The story is fictional but the sentiment is not.

The moral of the story is if you have indoor socialized parrot companions don't just take them somewhere and chuck them out the door because you don't want to "put up" with them. Indoor socialized (pets) have a very difficult life in the wild. These Budgies we've seen in the wild last but a few months, then they are gone. Be responsible when getting a pet bird, it's a commitment for a lifetime, yours and theirs .
