This isn\u2019t an everyday situation by any means, so it\u2019s understandable to need some guidance \u2014 especially if you\u2019re unfamiliar with the needs of pet birds. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to care for the bird until you\u2019re able to return it to its home. In this blog, we\u2019ll walk you through these steps and give you the tips you need to find the bird\u2019s rightful owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\" style=\"background-color:#8dc63f\">Report Found Bird<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identifying a Lost Pet Bird<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you encounter what you suspect is a lost pet bird, the first step will always be identifying if the bird is a pet or if it\u2019s wild. While it may sometimes be obvious, keep in mind that even non-native species of birds, such as parrots, have been able to breed in the wild. So, even if you see a bird that would normally be a pet, that doesn\u2019t guarantee that it is one. With that in mind, here are some tips for identifying a pet bird:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Observe the bird \u2014<\/strong> Take a look at the size, color and any distinguishing features of the bird. If you\u2019re able to determine the species of the bird, it will go a long way to helping you determine if the bird is a pet or a wild bird.<\/li><li><strong>Note the bird\u2019s behavior<\/strong> \u2014 If the bird seems comfortable around humans or acts like it may be domesticated, you may have found a lost pet bird. Note behavior like a bird approaching people or comfortably entering an indoor area. On the flip side, a bird that is skittish and avoids humans could be a wild bird.<\/li><li><strong>Check online \u2014<\/strong> It\u2019s always a good idea to use online resources to help you identify a specific species of bird. These resources can help you precisely identify the species based on its appearance, which will be invaluable when you\u2019re attempting to find the bird\u2019s owner.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/pexels-los-muertos-crew-8838177.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7069\" width=\"689\" height=\"1033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/pexels-los-muertos-crew-8838177.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/pexels-los-muertos-crew-8838177-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/pexels-los-muertos-crew-8838177-50x75.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photo Credit: Los Muertos Crew via Pexels<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Securing and Caring for the Found Bird<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve identified a bird as a lost pet, the next step will be to safely secure the bird and care for it until you can reunite the bird with its owner. Here are some steps you can follow to secure and care for a found bird:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Safely capture the bird \u2014<\/strong> Make sure to safely obtain the bird and bring it home with you. If it seems accustomed to humans, it might get right into a box or cage you offer it.<\/li><li><strong>Create a safe space<\/strong> \u2014 Once you bring the bird home, set up a designated area where the bird can feel secure. Make the room quiet for the bird and keep out other pets since you don\u2019t know what the bird\u2019s home environment is typically like.<\/li><li><strong>Provide food and water \u2014<\/strong> Make sure the bird has fresh water and food. A clean bowl with water from the tap will suffice, and birds can eat bird seed, some fruits and some vegetables. Make sure to look up what birds can eat and consult a veterinarian or avian specialist for guidance.<\/li><li><strong>Provide perches and toys<\/strong> \u2014 Birds get bored just like everyone else, so make sure to provide them with perches and some safe toys that can keep them entertained as you seek out their owner.<\/li><li><strong>Avoid handling the bird excessively<\/strong> \u2014 Keep in mind that the bird may be stressed and that you don\u2019t know how often they\u2019re handled at home. Try to keep handling to a minimum, only doing it at essential times, like providing them with fresh food and water or cleaning the cage.<\/li><li><strong>Consult a veterinarian<\/strong> \u2014 Schedule a visit to the veterinarian to have the bird checked for any health issues and to ensure they are properly cared for.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reporting the Lost Bird<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you find a lost bird, it\u2019s best to start taking steps to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/report-found-bird\">report the bird as found<\/a> as soon as possible. This can significantly increase the chances of reuniting the bird with its owner. Here are some steps to follow when reporting a lost bird:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Contact local animal shelters and rescue organizations<\/strong> \u2014 Reach out to nearby animal shelters and rescues and provide them with a description of the found bird. If the bird has been reported as lost by the owner, they may already have the record on file. Otherwise, they will have the file saved if the owner does call.<\/li><li><strong>Contact avian veterinarians and pet stores<\/strong> \u2014 Reach out to avian veterinarians in your area and provide them with the same detailed description of the bird. They may have clients who have reported a lost bird fitting the same description. Additionally, contact local pet stores and ask them to keep an eye out for anyone asking about a lost bird.<\/li><li><strong>File a lost and found report<\/strong> \u2014 Typically, cities and towns have lost and found services for pets. Contacting your local animal control or municipal office will allow you to file a report. If an owner seeks their bird out through official channels, the report will be on file, and they\u2019ll be able to contact you.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/pexels-luiz-fernando-3029739.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/pexels-luiz-fernando-3029739.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/pexels-luiz-fernando-3029739-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/pexels-luiz-fernando-3029739-50x75.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photo Credit: Luiz Fernando via Pexels<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engaging the Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to quickly reunite a found bird with its owner is by engaging the community. Reach out to community members and let them know about your found bird. There\u2019s a good chance that one of them is looking for the bird. Here are some ways you can engage the community to help find the owner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Flyers and posters<\/strong> \u2014 Flyers and posters with a clear photo of the bird and your contact information can be a great way to let the community know that a bird has been found. Hang them in local community centers, pet stores, veterinary clinics and other high-traffic areas where a bird owner might see them.<\/li><li><strong>Neighborhood door-to-door<\/strong> \u2014 If you found the bird in your neighborhood or near a neighborhood, it can be helpful to go door-to-door to ask if anyone knows anything about it. If the bird didn\u2019t go far from home, you may even find the owner this way.<\/li><li><strong>Local media<em> \u2014<\/em><\/strong> Reaching out to local newspapers and radio stations can also help you spread the word and increase your chances of finding the owner.<\/li><li><strong>Online platforms<\/strong> \u2014 Don\u2019t neglect social media when trying to spread local awareness about a found bird. Also, you can use platforms like PawBoost to reach pet lovers across your local community and let them know about the found pet.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personal Safety and Stray Animals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any lost pet, you should always make sure to prioritize your personal safety and the safety of the animal when attempting to approach and catch the bird. Even if the bird is a pet that is used to human contact, a lost pet may feel scared or threatened. Make sure to follow these steps to stay safe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Consider your safety<\/strong> \u2014 First and foremost, ensure your safety. Wear gloves or use a towel or blanket to handle the bird, as their beaks and claws can cause injuries. Approach the bird slowly and calmly, avoiding any sudden movements that may startle it. If the bird becomes aggressive or tries to fly away, do not chase or grab it. Instead, step back and give it some space.<\/li><li><strong>Call animal control<\/strong> \u2014 If the bird you find appears to be injured or distressed, it\u2019s best to monitor it from a distance and contact your local animal control agency. They will have the necessary training and resources to capture the bird, minimizing risk to both you and the animal.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pawboost-logo-medium.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5115\" width=\"487\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pawboost-logo-medium.png 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pawboost-logo-medium-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pawboost-logo-medium-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pawboost-logo-medium-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 487px) 100vw, 487px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PawBoost Helps Reunite Lost Birds and Their Families<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to raise local awareness about a lost bird you\u2019ve found, PawBoost is the best way to do so.
