Message from Owner

Sadly 3 days ago my lovely pet cockatiel, Athena got out on me, and I've been frantically searching my neighborhood for days to no avail. Desperately hoping by some miracle someone is able to find her, and return her home. Shes a lovely little bird.

Jay Grovet Yes I'm currently out right now playing sounds looking for her on foot through a multi mile radius around where she was last seen by myself. No luck as of yet but I am remaining diligent.

Your parrot is vulnerable outdoors and likely hasn’t flown far. Here’s clear, step-by-step advice to maximize recovery chances: • Search persistently on foot: Stay out as long as needed, covering your neighborhood thoroughly. Birds will go quiet at dark, but will stay put as their eyesight is terrible in the dark. You must take advantage of daylight hours. • Use sounds to locate: Play familiar calls or YouTube videos of sharp, distinctive flock calls loudly via Bluetooth speaker or phone. Listen for responses. if within earshot, your bird will very likely respond. This can often be a cheat code for finding lost birds as they are easier to locate by sound opposed to sight. • Watch for signs: Look for agitated crows, magpies, or other birds; this may indicate your parrot is nearby. • Spread the word: Notify neighbors door-to-door. Create and put up eye-catching posters everywhere (include photo, description, contact info). Post in local Facebook groups and community apps. Posters are crucial. Most escapes end up stuck up in a tree, unable to descend due to lack of flight experience. • If spotted: Never take your eyes off your bird. Stay patient and persistent; it will come down with time and coaxing (use food, toys, or calls). • Be diligent: A vast majority of domesticated escapees don’t survive without help. Starvation, freezing, or predators are common. Your efforts are their lifeline. Play this one. It’s loud, distinct, and on loop. https://youtu.be/pYOOyOkFg7Y

Put her cage outside if she sees it, she will fly down to it. That’s what we did when our bird got out.
