I am not sure if missing dogs Massachusetts can help you with this? But it wouldn’t hurt to ask.

Ftzzi Jaz posted on Lost and Found birds of the US We're so sorry to hear TOMMY is missing here is the link & feel free to update here on status changes or additional information appreciated in the comments anytime https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BGrEtSoo8/ Here are some ideas to assist in your search. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, these guys tend to stay close to home for the first few days. Your bird will likely be silent as well, from fear- This makes them stop calling out even if you are right next to him or her. *During the daytime: use a wireless Bluetooth speaker to broadcast flock calls or your voice, shake treat bags or anything that might attract attention to food, put the cage out where it can be seen. These Birds can be good flyers, make sure you do a 25 mile radius of social posting in l n f pet groups. Your bird will be most active out searching for food at first light [dawn] and dusk so you need to be outside pre-dawn, NOTE: they roost in place overnight as they do not see in the dark *During the evening when searching is over, design & print off flyers with photo & contact information. These can be encased in a ziplock to keep weatherproof & posted in areas where allowed like parks, poles & any nearby gathering areas. Also drop off some at vet clinics, pet supply stores, anything within a 5 mile radius. Contact local shelters/rescues & even the police dept - they do pick up found/stray pets all the time. Make sure the world knows - neighbors esp ones that have bird feeders/baths/pools. Hand them out while searching the area. Join every local social media group there is. Run an ad in your local newspaper - some run one for free in lost & found (or cheap). Also check with local bird watcher groups - they’re always out & about. Flyers cannot be placed in mailboxes. *Create a post on Pawboost, NextDoor & Ring *PLEASE CHECK WITH LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTERS & FILE A MISSING PET REPORT* Angie - Moderator DFW Lost and Found Birds Parrots, Moderator Texas Bird Owners Lost and Found Page, Moderator Parrots 911, Administrator Lost and Found Birds of The US.,

Lauren Desmarais Cutting or "clipping" the wings of an African Grey—or any parrot—is a subject of significant debate among avian experts and owners. While some choose to do it for safety or to prevent escape, many veterinarians and behaviorists advise against it for several health and psychological reasons: 1. Physical Health and Exercise Flight is the primary form of exercise for birds. African Greys are prone to obesity and heart disease, and flying helps maintain their cardiovascular health and muscle tone. Respiratory Efficiency: Unlike mammals, birds' lungs are rigid; they rely on air sacs and the movement of their chest muscles during flight to move air efficiently through their system. Balance: Wings are used for more than just flying; they are essential for balance and stabilization when walking or perching. 2. Psychological Well-being African Greys are highly intelligent and can be prone to anxiety. Depriving them of their natural means of locomotion can lead to: Loss of Confidence: A bird that cannot fly often feels vulnerable. Since their natural instinct is "flight or fight," removing the "flight" option can lead to increased biting or aggression because they feel trapped. Psychological Distress: Being grounded can lead to behavioral issues like feather plucking or destructive chewing as a result of frustration or lack of stimulation. 3. Safety Risks Ironically, wing clipping can sometimes be more dangerous than leaving a bird fully flighted: Hard Falls: If a clipped bird tries to fly, they often drop like a stone. African Greys are heavy-bo birds, and a fall onto a hard floor can result in a split keel bone (the chest bone), which is a serious medical emergency. Incomplete Security: A clipped bird can still catch a breeze if they get outside. Without the strength or s to navigate the wind, they are often blown away and cannot fly back down or defend themselves from predators. 4. Molting and Feather Health If wings are clipped improperly or too short, it can cause irritation. Furthermore, as new "blood feathers" (growing feathers with a blood supply) come in, they lack the protection of the surrounding mature feathers. Without that support, blood feathers are much more likely to break and bleed profusely. I hope this helps I looked it up.
