On July 25, 1995, I came home to find an unusual-looking bird standing in my driveway. He walked right over to me, so I picked him up and took him inside for safekeeping (In a house with 3 cats). We tried without success to find his owner, so he's been with us ever since.

It turns out that he's a small hookbill parrot called a Canary-Winged Parakeet, also known as a Canary-Winged Beebee. His name is Chicky.

Here's what he looks like:

[Here are other canary-winged parakeet photos that I swiped off the net. As you can clearly see, none of them are anywhere near as beautiful as Chicky.]

"Chicky". AKA "Chickyraptor".

Sp.  Brotogeris Versicolorus
also known as Canary-Winged Beebee, B. versicolurus chiriri.
