🦜 Updated Tips to Help Bring Marty Home (Missing 2 Weeks) Because Marty has been missing since June 13 from the Sorghum Mill Drive area in Cheshire, her behavior will have changed. After two weeks, survival mode kicks in, meaning she is actively looking for food and water and may be less timid around people. Please keep an eye out for these specific behaviors: 1. Check Bird Feeders and Birdbaths • Seeking Resources: Marty is likely hungry and thirsty by now. Neighbors within a few miles should closely monitor their backyard bird feeders, birdbaths, chicken coops, or outdoor pet food bowls. • Listen for Unusual Chirps: Listen for a loud, distinct cockatiel "contact call" or whistling near your yards, which will sound completely different from local wild birds. 2. She May Approach Humans • Looking for Help: A tame pet bird that has been out this long will often overcome her fear because she associates humans with food. Marty might land on a patio table, a deck railing, or even someone's head or shoulder looking for assistance. • Keep a Cage Visible: If she is still near home, keeping her cage outside with fresh, highly visible treats (like millet or colorful pellets) is still one of the best ways to entice a hungry bird down. 3. Expand the Search Radius • Widening the Net: In two weeks, a cockatiel can easily fly several miles, either from being caught in wind gusts or being chased by local wildlife. Neighbors in surrounding areas of Cheshire should also be on high alert. 4. How to Capture Her Safely • Move Slowly: If Marty lands near you, do not chase or grab at her quickly, as this will panic her into flying away. • Lure with Food: Offer treats calmly, talk to her in a gentle voice, or slowly place a cage nearby with food inside. If she gets close enough and is tired, dropping a light towel or t-shirt gently over her is a safe way to secure her. ⚠️ If Spotted: Please do not yell or try to startle her. Note the exact location/cross-streets and the direction she is moving, and immediately contact the owner via the PawBoost link in image.png.
