Two NYC strangers team up to help lost parakeet found on UWS in ‘small world’ moment

Birds of a feather flock together.

Two strangers living on the Upper West Side came together in a “small world” moment over the weekend to help a lost parakeet they found flapping around the neighborhood — with the hope that their teamwork will locate the bird’s owner.

Matt Schick said that he did a “triple take” when he first saw the little green and yellow bird sitting on a tree outside his apartment window on 87th Street and Amsterdam Avenue Sunday evening.

“I realized this has to be a pet so I opened the window and started playing parakeet sound effects through my phone to try and lure it in,” Schick told The Post on Tuesday.

Schick, a TV producer who has worked with parakeets before for a show, tried to coerce the bird out of the cold with cut-up almonds and a broomstick he hoped it would climb onto, but the bird flew away about half an hour later.

Still determined, he went outside to try and see if he could hear the bird’s “distinctive chirp.”
