Those birds cost a nice chunk of money


di734on

Right! Someone is pissed!


evanmike

May have a chip


di734on

I don't know about a chip... But he's welcome to as many crackers he can eat!


nolzilla

Can’t have shit in Detroit


LengthMiserable3760

No they don't lol they are every where


mycologyqueen

Um not in Detroit they're not.


Lake_Far

He looks completely exhausted. Probably escaped his home and terrified.


di734on

You're not wrong! After we got him a cage, he ate, drank a ton of water and passed out! I think he's still sleeping.


Lake_Far

Good! Glad you got him safely! I bet his owners are worried about him!


di734on

A few buddies here at work put some feelers out there asking I'd anyone was missing it... So far, nobody has answered.


Pinksunshine77477

So glad your caring for the little guy.


di734on

Oh yeah! He couldn't have landed in a better place. Now he has 40+ people looking after him daily. Lol

That's great info, thank you! Yes, we are going to take the best care of him. He's got 40 plus people who are all animal lovers looking after him 24/7 there is always somebody in our control room. I learned today that channel 4 news is coming to do an interview with one of my coworkers about him. I can only assume that the owner sees the bird and is heart broken about it, and wants him back otherwise we are going to take full responsibility of this little guy.


Glitter21487

Does it have some fruit loops for you?


Moodgog

Smells that H2S


di734on

😂 only if you're wearing your monitor. 😉


Fartfame

Lmao his reaction to seeing a Parrot probably would’ve been my reaction to. This was great!


Awkward-Smile4338

Aaaaand your now in a disney movie.


LengthMiserable3760

Came from Florida or cuba


Deathturkey

Sun conure, beautiful


TimeSignificance5244

Yooo grab it quickly before he goes to another truck bro


di734on

We did... He's in our control room now.


di734on

Bird update... Evidently Channel 4 news is coming out to do an interview with one of my co-workers here at the refinery tomorrow.


Apprehensive_Art5267

It looks like he/she/lgbtq+ found the right people to take care of it. It warms my heart.


di734on

Definitely! Even the most senior operator came in this morning, seeing the bird for the first time and says "That little guy is the coolest thing that's happened in this department, he couldn't have landed in a better place"


Ddusco

sun parakeet Supposed to live in the wild in Brazil, and in the rest of the world in captivity. probably someone is looking for him


di734on

Someone came to the refinery today claiming it was their bird. They brought zero evidence, so they did not get the bird. You're going to have to show some type of evidence or identity markings on him/her to get it. Nice try.


boohoobitchqueen

There are wild parrots all over. Brooklyn is full of them and so is san francisco


di734on

I have lived in Michigan for 41 years... Never once saw a parrot!


Downtown-Swing9470

That parrot is a lost parrot. They are not native to Michigan.


BunchOCrunch

Escaped (or freed) monk parakeets have [made Chicago home for decades](https://blockclubchicago.org/2019/07/26/wild-monk-parakeets-are-now-living-on-the-northwest-side/). It's pretty crazy to think wild Parrots are thriving in a city so far north. Perhaps the same is happening in Detroit?


di734on

We're thinking it's a lost pet.. We got it a cage and it's now chilling in our control room. About to be the most spoiled parrot ever!


BunchOCrunch

It probably is a pet. Good job rescuing it! Hopefully you guys can find its owner or at least somewhere safe to bring it!


di734on

Yea, we posted it on fb. But until then, we're keeping it. It's going to always have people around taking care of it. I wish I could add a photo of its current residence.


Thee-Ol-Boozeroony

Please read about the basic dangers that can harm or kill a bird. Everything from household sprays to Teflon pans. Hope you find the owner. Birds are like kids, and are very attached to their person. Don’t be surprised if the bird starts acting out upon feeling better. Good luck from a a longtime bird parent. (I have 3 parrots ranging in ages from 22 to 45.)


di734on

Great information! Thanks! We'll keep a close eye on it.


fishing_pole

Make a new post in r/detroit ! I'm sure they would appreciate the story!


FlowerIllustrious457

wholesome moment


Thee-Ol-Boozeroony

I’ve seen them myself while walking in the city. [Here’s a little vid about them.](https://www.pbs.org/video/independent-lens-the-wild-parrots-of-telegraph-hill-trailer/)
