Is this one of those Andean parakeets that are known to be able to overwinter?

It's a Budgerigar, aka Budgie. They're from Australia and not cold hardy. You may be thinking of Monk Parakeets which are from southern South America (but not the Andes) and can, and have, withstood Boston winters. This lost pet needs to find a warm place indoors before next winter.

It looks like a Budgerigar; probably someone's escaped pet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budgerigar. Pretty isn't it? I hope the owner finds it safe and sound.
Andean Parakeets looks like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andean_parakeet
The parrots that overwinter in Brooklyn are Monk Parakeets, and look somewhat similar to the Andean Parakeets: http://brooklynparrots.com/

I think I've seen this bird (or one of his clan if he's got friends) up on the wires before. I think he's been out there for some time now.
Keep feeding him so he can be

Keep feeding him so he can be rescued! Your his only hope.
A Zoo escapee?

Franklin Park Zoo has that massive Budgie enclosure- makes me wonder if one of them might have flown the coop?
