It is amazing the effects birds can have on people. you are lucky that they gave your bird back in the first place! I once knew of a friend of a friend whose budgie flew out the window. it flied a very long distance, and was found by a couple that phoned in saying that they might have found the missing birdie, but when the birds owners came to get it, the people who had found him said that they were wrong and that it wasn't the same bird, not wanting to give it up after seeing all the tricks he could do.
Again, I am very happy that captain is home safe and sound with you!

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.
