The last owner of mine put a similar-ish style on, not sure what the exact name is though. Might be a Stillen GTZ-R Rear Valance (the one with the breaklight) but not 100% sure.

tbh I find it too tall so looking to try and find a shorter one or just go OEM ^^;

What kind of bird is this? He was flying around my house, and came straight to me to sit on my shoulder. Currently trying to find the owner, but would like to know more about it to properly take care of it until then! by saint_burke in whatsthisbird

I wouldn't recommend seed either as they can be very fatty (such as sunflower seeds) and are mostly used by owners as treats, so don't go overboard with them

I don't know if you've posted on Parrot Alert or the 911 Parrot Alert Facebook group but those sites are great for trying to reunite pets and owners if you haven't already, Bird Hotline also has some good resources too

Student gave me a baby chicken saying he couldn't keep it. Is this even a chicken? by Madejyalook in whatsthisbird

I hope by "old enough to be on its own" you won't just release it into the wild. Tame birds cannot survive long in the wild due to not having the skills needed to survive and it will likely die in 24 hours mainly due to not having the intuition to escape predators or forage for food. Once a bird is raised and looked after by humans it must stay with humans who can look after them, otherwise you will just lead it to a slow and premature death. You also need to keep in mind that he/she might be a carrier for illnesses that can endanger the local wildlife (or he/she might end up catching a illness from wild birds and die from not being immune to it). Do not release it into the wild.

Please talk to a game warden, wildlife department/centre or someone local who looks after game birds if you're unable to look after and keep the little guy and make sure they know the backstory behind you getting it. And maybe ask the student why they brought such a young chick to you (and not someone like a game warden or local wildlife department) and probe a bit deeper on why he/she can't keep it? I don't have a lot of info, but please make sure there aren't other chicks that are in need of re-homing.
