I found a bright yellow cockatiel this afternoon around 4:15pm outside the NewBo City Market on 11th Street SE in Cedar Rapids. It perched on a railing and kept calling until I offered a sunflower seed; it hopped onto my finger and seemed surprisingly friendly. The bird has orange cheek patches, a gray tail, and a small white feather snag on its left wing from a recent molt. I’m pretty sure someone’s pet is missing this feathery friend, so I’m hoping to help reunite them. If you’re the owner, please reach out—I'll hold onto him safely and can take him to a local vet or shelter if needed.
