Ruth Ramirez , Its Andrea from Texas Bird Owners Lost and Found Page, we msgd - Here are the protocols... [Good job creating the Pawboost !!!] I know you may have done some of this already but putting all out here..🙏 ‼️Put cage, perch, carrier (what’s familiar)out to see with food and water and treats toy etc‼️ This is cage without any other birds inside. Set in safe place. - tell neighbors to check their bird feeders and water sources [pools, ponds] carports , etc. Budgies are normally found close to where last seen, within 5 miles but make sure you do a 10 mile radius of 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, [they roost in place overnight as they do not see in the dark] play your bird's breed vocals and sounds, recordings, etc call, whistle, shake food or treat bags etc do whatever it takes to make vocally respond as you will hear before you see him/her Bring fav food and toy to get attention So... if bird is up higher then you can reach - in a tree, roof etc somewhere that requires some coaxing: https://resourcesforlostfoundparrots.blogspot.com/p/retrieval-scenarios.html Here is Detailed FULL VERSION pdf of lost bird protocols.... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B78YYzbJx75hMmZyM3J1S3ZiLTg/view?pli=1&resourcekey=0-3YLXv0V90USzpVqi2aN2kw Also, if you haven't yet please post ASAP in your HOA, Ring, Nextdoor.com sites etc; check off all surrounding neighborhoods for widest distribution File lost pet reports with city shelter and check for stray take ins Andrea Fatool - admin Texas Bird Owners Lost and Found Page former admin for 911parrotalert(official) & ARCHIVED Texas Lost and Found Birds Parrots: specializes in lost/found/stolen pet birds

Posted on Lost and Found birds of the US. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1B5wErpNVw/?mibextid=wwXIfr We are so sorry to hear your bird is missing. Here are some ideas to assist in your search. *Create a post on Pawboost, NextDoor & Ring, if you haven’t already. *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. *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. *PLEASE CHECK WITH LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTERS & FILE A MISSING PET REPORT*

Leave the bird cage outside with perch and bird toys - make sure the cage door is open. Also hang some articles of your worn clothing or birds favorite scent out near the open cage. Post signs with your contact information and the birds picture where the bird went missing. Post to Next Door - any community page that can get the information out. Play bird chirping sounds and stop and listen for a response from your bird. Prayers your bird is found safely.
