A friendly visitor taking a rest in our yard. Let me come in really close, this shot was very slightly cropped.

Love this one very much...great shot here, as it is so soft, and lovely textures as well.....
At one time I had at least 70 budgies, of all types, and colors.
This one looks like a female, due to the brown patch above her beak.
We often caught the wild ones like this, if it looked like a runaway from a breeder, or a pet, as they usually don't survive out in the wild, due to so many prediators.
If you wanted to catch them, one can puts the hose on them, as they then can't fly when wet, and then much easier to catch.

Thanks Tim. This is the 2nd time I've seen this kind here. Probably is a pet budgie that flew away from its owner. It did get along pretty well with the other bird and a pigeon that was pecking on some growth.
