Meet Vagabond. I was out this afternoon at SingleCut having a beer with some new friends. They wanted to meet Ella, so we came back to the house. Inside, Lori asked, "What's your bird's name?" I couldn't parse the question until I saw the parakeet perched inside the front window. It had to have flown inside earlier through the balcony door. So we all went and bought a cage and food together, and now Vagabond has a new, perhaps temporary home.
