Looks like some type of Parakeet , but I'm afraid that's the best I can do ....

No doubt that it´s a member of the parrot family, but which species? Don´t know which can appear in SC, but the bird has strong tarsii for it´s age of 6 days (how do you know it so exactly?).

Probably a Monk Parakeet, as this naturalised species is getting pretty widespresd in the USA
