Posted on Lost and Found birds of the US. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EWdyaEpzk/?mibextid=wwXIfr Thank you so much for taking care of this little one & looking for its family. Create a safe space — 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’t know what the bird’s home environment is typically like. Provide food and water — 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. Please hydrate first with water and make sure they are drinking. You may offer watery fruits/veggies such as watermelon, peppers (hot peppers will help with pain), cantaloupe, zucchini, honey dew, cucumbers, apples, kiwi fruit, cherries, pomegranates, lettuce, applesauce or offer berries such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries or a sprig of millet for smaller birds such as cockatiels, lovebirds, parrotlets or parakeets. Provide perches and toys — 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. Avoid handling the bird excessively — Keep in mind that the bird may be stressed and that you don’t know how often they’re 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. Consult a veterinarian — Schedule a visit to the veterinarian to have the bird checked for any health issues and to ensure they are properly cared for. Here are some steps to follow when reporting a lost bird: Contact local animal shelters and rescue organizations — 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. Contact avian veterinarians and pet stores — 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. File a lost and found report — 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’ll be able to contact you.

Budgie finders ❤️ Bless you 🙏 for saving this sweeties life - pet birds do not survive long in the wild, YOU are an avian angel 😇 IF banded on leg, keep band imprint info confidential 🤫 it is one of the best tools to ID rightful owners 👌 I know You may have done some of this already ❤️ but...

Please offer hydration first (water, thin slice apple no apple seed but skin ok, ) After… They need to eat several times a day (unlike large parrots) please serve seed or millet asap since we do not know how long birds been outside - many neighbors (can ask on Nextdoor too) have pet birds and you can also ask for some seed from them. Of course, water too ❤️ Budgies are usually found fairly close to home in surrounding neighborhoods 5-10 mi radius Also, if you haven't yet please post ASAP in your Nextdoor. com site; ring app hoa those types of sites and check off all surrounding neighborhoods for widest distribution You will need a cage for temporary fostering [If you want to foster, or cannot, you can ask on nextdoor.com to borrow bird cage OR a neighbor with bird experience is fine or most animal shelters do take pet birds.
