We had a little friend pay us a visit.
A little internet sleuthing tells me it’s a Lesser Goldfinch. I took a little video of it outside the window. It seemed very interested in what was going on in the bird room.
The Detroit Animal Welfare Group in Michigan took in hundreds of budgies dropped off by the son of an animal hoarder. The birds had been kept in one room and several are in rough shape.
The first day, 497 budgies were dropped off. An additional 339 budgies were dropped off the following day.
The budgies are currently being quarantined and will be looked at by veterinarians. A few bird rescue groups have come forward to assist in caring for the budgies. You can read more here.
If you are in the area and looking to adopt a budgie, please keep these little ones in mind.
If you would like to contribute to their care (food/vet costs) you can do so by clicking these links:

Cooper has a shop on Redbubble. She donates a percentage of her sales to her favorite bird rescues. Last year Cooper decided to adopt a turkey through Farm Sanctuary. This year she decided to adopt again.
You can read more about Farm Sanctuary here.
Cooper recommends skipping the turkey this Thanksgiving. It’s all about the sides anyway.
