Thanks for the encouragement guys.
Well the tempurature got below freezing Friday night. He did not come home. Unless he found another person and they took him in he most likely died that night. Parakeets cannot even handle a cold draft without getting sick. Staying out in below freezing weather all night would be the death of them. The northern climate is way too cold for him to survive. I've tried to pretend that he headed straight south and is now in Fla where there are a few small colonies of Parakeets. He found another of his kind and they're working on a nest and babies right now. I wish.
The spot where his cage used to hang in the dining room seems so empty. I didn't realize that every time I walked into the house I'd whistle for him. I have to restrain myself and it's disappointing every time I enter the diningroom to know he won't be flying to my shoulder. He roamed the house freely and followed me constantly. He'd whistle and when I'd answer I could count on hearing his wings flying around looking for me in seconds. He was getting bolder and would even fly upstairs or to the basement to follow me. I feel lonesome without that light weight on my shoulder all the time.
