    That is a cockatiel, a very common pet.

    Yep, looks like someone lost their pet. Cockatiels are very friendly and make great pets....
    Nice capture!

    That bird was not someone's pet. I shot it in Ft worth Zoo. If you look at the top 1/3 of the photo, you can see some bokeh of meshes.

    Here is another one,
