Post: Wild Budgie in Virginia Is It Possible?

Posted by Kim on 6/09/07

I live in Northern Virginia and about three years ago I
was driving around my neighborhood and saw the brightest
bird I had ever seen. Highlighter green. Now the same
bird (or that's my guess) comes to my feeder regularly.
It holds its own fending off the other birds and seems
quite happy. Last winter it snowed for weeks
straight...Any guesses about whether or not it is the same
bird. Did it migrate and come back. I read on-line about
wild monk parakeets in my area but the pictures don't
match. Yellow head bright green body with balck wavy
lines on the wings. I know nothing about birds can you
help me solve the mystery?
