Birds of Feather Flock together

Yesterday David and Mom and I (dad) were standing on the deck when David looked at the power lines comming to the house and said, "what kind of birds are those? "I said, Paroketes." The we realized that they were not wild birds at all. Anyway, I tried to coax them down to my arm by wisteling and mom tried to get them to fly into the upstairs window with bread with no sucess. Then, I got my ladder and stood up by them. By now they were on the roof below the pipe that brings in the power line. I could get within a few feet of them. Next, I went back to the deck and climbed on the roof. David threw me a sheet and pillowcase. I threw the sheet over both birds at the same time. Then I reached under and crabed each one as the bit me. I put them in the pillowcase and handed it down to David. Mom put them in the hamster cage and took out the hamster until Lucy got home in a few minutes with her friends and a big gage. The two birds were obviously a pair but so far we dont know where they came from.
