I was just out taking Mickey for a walk, and towards the end of the walk something caught his attention. I looked down to see a soaking wet (it's been raining all day) baby superb parrot sitting beside the foot path. He didn't move away despite us being right beside him. When i bent down for a closer look he fluttered pathetically away. I decided it'd be best to bring him home than leave him on the ground to get eaten by a cat or dog.
The other thing that prompted me to bring him home is that superb parrots are extremely uncommon around here (i've seen a couple of them only once or twice). This makes me wonder if perhaps he's from an aviary or something. Regardless, i'll hang onto him over the weekend and try and establish if he's used to people (i.e. a pet/aviary bird) or a wild baby. If he's wild he should be able to go to the RSPCA to be released. If not, then i'm not sure!
Here's the little guy.
