Do you have a picture?

Yes just posted it there are more pictures. But I think the correct thing is to look for it’s owners they seem like they are pretending to be its owners so I hope real owner contacts them through FB.

maybe try telling them to post pictures in many different websites/apps so people can find this birds owner!

Might be a green parakeet (also called Green Conure).

They are a small wild parrot species native to Mexico and Central America. The natural range of the green parakeet extends to southern parts of Texas, where the bird was found. McAllen is located very close to the Mexican border.

Green Parakeet

The natural range of this well-named parakeet is in Mexico and northern Central America, and its northern limit extends practically to the Texas border. That could help to explain why the species has...

Oh ok.. but isn’t it strange that they say that it’s super friendly?

I find that weird to.

Yes wild birds aren’t friendly at all.

It could be a green conure that was kept as a pet. Or a wild parrot that had positive contact with people during its life. Wild parrots, like any wild animal, tend to avoid people, but they also learn quickly and can be tamed.

Considering that it acts tame, I certainly think the first step should be looking for its former owner. If they can't be found, I see nothing wrong with giving the bird a new home.

Best of luck on the search.

Same thoughts.

How big is it? It reminds me of an ekkie from the green colour.
