A wild parakeet just flew into the cage?

I put my keet's cae outside where the bird feeders where so they could say hi to the sparrows. I left the the cage out for a few hours and came back to find a another parakeet in the cage.
So I have 1 question. (Ok first of all what should I name it? Yes I will take it to the vet to get vaccines and it doesn't have a band on it's leg. She's a girl and she's blue if that helps. So yeah what do I name it?

This is your story and you're sticking to it, right?
I don't believe it. Sorry. No one would leave parakeets outside for hours with the door open. How else could the other keet get into the cage?
Either someone gave you the parakeet, you found it somewhere, or someone else put the parakeet in the cage. And it's a really bad idea. New birds should always be quarantined away from all other birds for two weeks - during which it should go the vet for it's tests and shots.
If you found it, and really don't know the last owner - you should search through lost ads, and post found ads on Craiglist and Petfinders, and your local newspaper. You should also call all of the area shelters and humane societies and submit a found report.
Someone else may have lost their bird and is looking for it.
how did it get into the cage? And if you left the doors opened, your other parekeet didn't try to escape? hmm... you should name it jaeda!! yay!
First, if the cage door was not open, do you not wonder HOW another bird got into the cage?
When you say WILD parakeet...? are there WILD parakeets where you live. Name it IFFY.
DO NOT ADOPT A WILD BIRD! You call this a %26quot;WILD bird,%26quot; meaning that it belongs in the WILD. Domesticated parakeets are meant to be indoors because they have no idea how to survive in the wild and would die if you set them free. But wild birds would suffer in a cage. They are used to flying free, and will go CRAZY if you stick it in a little cage. Also, you will never be able to tame it. It might have babies that would be left in the nest, defenseless, hungry, and unable to find food. They would die without their mother. PLEASE, I'm begging you, don't imprison one of nature's free birds.
Paco T I sometimes do not agree with you, but this time you are 100% right! If this is really a wild bird it should not be caged! Most likely it will die if you cage it. In addition it may have diseases or parasites that could harm your tame bird.
I also am wonderring how it managed to get into the locked cage.
If it really is wild, please let it return to nature before it is too late .
Sky, that's the name I would definitely give to my parakeet... if I had one. I always loved that name.
this bird probably escaped from its family, got scared, saw your open cage (which im sorry to say isnt a good outdoor idea for a bird) and flew inside. put up fliers saying that you found her. post her on a lost pet website. when small birds fly away, the owners are extremely lucky if they get it back. small domestic birds dont have a very high chance of staying alive on their own, and you should return her to her family. hopefully they will be more careful with their pets.
