I can foster or adopt if you can’t find the owner. I currently have 5 birds and a separate empty cage for quarantine purposes

Is he safe indoors? Thank you for saving him! Please carry him to an avian vet to make sure he’s healthy and okay cause we don’t know how long he was outside and how hard it was on his body. Look out for any signs of illness such as being fluffed up, lethargic, tail bobbing, beak clicking (respiratory issue) and any signs of weakness. These signs can be fatal and needs immediate medical attention. And give him food like chopped up veggies like broccoli, shredded carrots and budgie seeds and water and maybe some toys, swings, and mirrors in his cage. Healthier food instead of seeds are pellets such as Zupreem natural pellets and Harrison’s Superfine pellets. Nutriberries are a great treat for them as well! If you decide to give seeds, Dr Harvey seeds and Vita Higgins seeds are recommended. He needs to be in a warm environment. About 72-75 degrees and since he’s alone and scared, he needs to be around people and not isolated. They need lots of love and I’m sure he went through a lot outside. Thank you for taking care of him. 🙏🏼 If you don’t find the owner and you decide to keep him let me know, I can send you advice on budgie care, lifestyle, diet, and everything you need to know and if you rehome him please make sure it’s someone trusting and loving. Also, If you can’t find the owner keep us updated. But please keep him safe and warm indoors. Outside is dangerous for them Do not use any aerosols, no self cleaning ovens or anything with teflon coating (non stick cookware). The fumes can a bird in seconds. Any oils such as essential oils, anything scented, Lysol, rubbing alcohol, Teflon from nonstick cookware, diffusers, candle, paint smell, etc.. anything scented in general or fumes are unsafe for birds. It’s best NOT to use these things around your birds. And if you ever have the window open like while you’re cooking, make sure there’s a secure mesh. Doors and windows always have to be secure and closed to prevent our birds from accidentally flying out. Having a toxic free and clean environment where no accidents can happen is best. These fumes can be fatal and they’re small and delicate. Always have an avian vet / emergency vet number incase of any emergencies as well. Do not allow dogs, cats, or other pets to interact with the budgie. When you cover the cage at night, use a night light as well so they don’t get night frights Always ask for proof of ownership before giving him back to someone who claims this is their bird. Message me if you need any advice If you don’t find the owner, please contact your local bird rescue for further help. Or if you decide to keep him let me know and I’ll send you budgie lifestyle, diet, care tips, and everything I know! Let me know if you need a budgie care guide, I can message it to you. And if you rehome him please make sure it’s someone trusting and loving who will give him a good life 🙏🏼 Electrolyte recipe you can add to his drinking water to help his immune system from what he went through outside 1 cup water 1/2 tablespoon sugar 1/8 teaspoon baking soda 1/8 teaspoon salt

Posted on Lost and Found birds of the US. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DNTZzdocc/?mibextid=wwXIfr Thank you so much for taking care of this little one & looking for its family. Create a safe space — Once you bring the bird home, set up a designated area where the bird can feel secure. Make the room quiet for the bird and keep out other pets since you don’t know what the bird’s home environment is typically like. Provide food and water — Make sure the bird has fresh water and food. A clean bowl with water from the tap will suffice, and birds can eat bird seed, some fruits and some vegetables. Make sure to look up what birds can eat and consult a veterinarian or avian specialist for guidance. Please hydrate first with water and make sure they are drinking. You may offer watery fruits/veggies such as watermelon, peppers (hot peppers will help with pain), cantaloupe, zucchini, honey dew, cucumbers, apples, kiwi fruit, cherries, pomegranates, lettuce, applesauce or offer berries such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries or a sprig of millet for smaller birds such as cockatiels, lovebirds, parrotlets or parakeets. Provide perches and toys — Birds get bored just like everyone else, so make sure to provide them with perches and some safe toys that can keep them entertained as you seek out their owner. Avoid handling the bird excessively — Keep in mind that the bird may be stressed and that you don’t know how often they’re handled at home. Try to keep handling to a minimum, only doing it at essential times, like providing them with fresh food and water or cleaning the cage. Consult a veterinarian — Schedule a visit to the veterinarian to have the bird checked for any health issues and to ensure they are properly cared for. Here are some steps to follow when reporting a lost bird: Contact local animal shelters and rescue organizations — Reach out to nearby animal shelters and rescues and provide them with a description of the found bird. If the bird has been reported as lost by the owner, they may already have the record on file. Otherwise, they will have the file saved if the owner does call. Contact avian veterinarians and pet stores — Reach out to avian veterinarians in your area and provide them with the same detailed description of the bird. They may have clients who have reported a lost bird fitting the same description. Additionally, contact local pet stores and ask them to keep an eye out for anyone asking about a lost bird. File a lost and found report — Typically, cities and towns have lost and found services for pets. Contacting your local animal control or municipal office will allow you to file a report. If an owner seeks their bird out through official channels, the report will be on file, and they’ll be able to contact you.
