: I have no way of knowing but have a "gut" feeling it is an escapee from Pet Fair which is about a mile away as the crow flies. They told me they have had a few escapees and have also had people bring in exotic birds they have found.
Black hooded parakeets have been around North Broward County for at least the last 15 years. I get them at my feeder a couple times a year in Coral Springs. I have had 2 at a time.
