Lucky was reunited with the family, but Rannels said the owners now live in a smaller home and determined they did not have space to properly care for the cockatiel. ORCA said in a Facebook post that Lucky will have a new permanent home as the organization's office pet.

Sounds like they abandoned him when they moved, and then started wondering if he was okay.

Three years is a long time for a cockatiel to survive outdoors. A draft can kill them.

My neighbors when I was growing up had a dog that would howl and howl when that theme song came on.

Winter kills them. Not buying it.

They didn‘t have room? We had a cockatiel once. In a very small two bedroom apartment. So I call a lot of bird poo.

That reminds me of a news story from years ago about police from the LAPD gang unit forcing a bunch of vatos to duck walk while whistling the Andy Griffith Show theme song, lol.

Thought it would have been the Baretta theme song.

I’ve seen lots of videos of cockatiels whistling that theme song.

There’s a colony of Monk Parakeets in Connecticut. I guess a cockatiel could...
