Posted on Lost and Found birds of the US https://m.facebook.com/groups/637611853061306/permalink/3599922063496922/?mibextid=Nif5oz To Smokey's owner: 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 *Be wary of scammers & pet trackers. Any group, individual or so called “pet tracking/finder” service that tries to charge you to “locate” your missing pet is a scam & should be avoided. No contact should be made, no codes or financial information revealed or offered to them. *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*

Note that he is very talkative (when not freaked out or on high alert), will usually respond to whistles and he says “hi” and if you extend your arm out with palm facing up and tap your shoulder telling him “come here Smokey” he just might fly onto your hand.
