I found a cockatiel this afternoon around 3:15pm in downtown Fredericksburg, near Hurkamp Park behind the Farmers Market on Prince Edward Street. It's a small gray bird with a bright yellow crest and orange cheek patches, about the size of a robin. There’s a red leg band on the right leg with the code FP-22. It has a tiny white speck on its left wing and a faint rust streak near the tail from old cage wear. The bird seemed pretty friendly, chirping when people approached and perched on a bench for a moment before fluttering back onto the railing. If someone recognizes it, I’m happy to coordinate a meetup at Hurkamp Park to verify ownership.
