This is the story of Chuck Lee, the parakeet.
Towards the end of the school year, the third graders went on a field trip to the Cosmosphere. We arrived back at school with about 20 minutes until the final bell. The students were allowed to play on the playground until the school day ended.
Soon, I heard some excitement near the jungle gym and walked over to find the kids surrounding a parakeet. I shooed the kids away and stood guard until the bell rang. Then, I placed a jacket over the parakeet and picked it up. One of the teachers gave me container and we took it to the pet store to buy a cage.
The "free" parakeet ended up costing us about $80 in supplies but it turned out to be worth it. TT named him Chuck Lee as in, Chuck Liddell (the UFC fighter) and Bruce Lee.
We clipped his wings and now he is part of the family. He happily sits on our shoulder while we use the computer or read. He likes to watch youtube videos of other birds singing and chirps along. TT taught him up and down to climb on things.
And he lived happily ever after.
