We would like to provide a few steps to follow that will help in your search. Please follow the Lost Bird Protocol blog link posted in featured / pinned **watch for scammers-do not send them a code** *please get a post out on nextdoor. com / ring. com asap then* **have your neighborhood check their security cameras and their property** ** ONLY TO BE DONE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS- Do you have a wireless speaker you can put on loop? If you do record their favorite person calling for them calmly, banging food bowls together, crinkling a snack bag, jangling a favorite toy, the microwave going off, popcorn popping, other pets, any familiar sound to them. If you are able please get their cage out where they might see it. Please shut off the bluetooth when it gets dark out** **Be sure to put lots of fliers in heavily populated areas i.e. SCHOOLS! stores, bus stops, parks. Lots of humans mean help** ***Put posters of your missing Bird in your house windows, front yard, on your vehicles*** ****to get the word out even more, when it's dark out and you can no longer search, you can also **Google map** your address to see what businesses there are locally. ANY business i.e. restaurants, tattoo places, salons, bars, churches etc. zoom in and out on the map to see these places. 1. Click on any to see if they have a website, if they do go there, use the "contact us" options first to notify them of your lost/found Bird. 2. If there isn't a website or "contact us" option see if they have a Facebook group/page/profile, if they do: Use the "message" option first, if they don't have a "message" option try to join the group to post directly on their FB page.**FaceBook** search for your town/city/county/area for local FB pages/groups ie MEDIA, COMMUNITY, Mom groups, for sale-garage sale, vets, shelters, rescues, whatever pages/groups that come up.***ALSO join local Bird watching groups*****With the strict rules on FB now, try not to join a lot of groups at once. Trying to join to many groups at once will land you in FB jail, if you can get your family & friends who have a FB profile to help you do this** **Fliers which can be placed anywhere **except** IN a mailbox, fliers can also be emailed to Staples, Office Max etc. to have them print it out in bulk**

General information: Keep the cage outside and open in case the bird returns. (Hang a familiar scent out near the cage). Please post signs with the bird's picture and your contact information on the sign. Post these signs all over as if someone spots your bird the person can contact you and provide a location of where the bird is. (Not everyone is on Social Media). Also try walking around playing bird chirps from your phone intermittently - then stop and listen to see if your bird calls back to you. Prayers that your bird is found safely.

Such of lovely bird . They tend to fly near by into bog trees it’s crucial for the owner to go near by and call the bird with familiar sounds right away . I got my bird back within a hour after looking around my neighborhood and calling her name until she finally responded back.
