Message from Owner

Betty is very friendly and loves to sit on your head. She knows to step up, but doesn’t like being approached. She’ll come to you. She is not clipped so can fly short distances. She’s very healthy and smart. She loves Cheerios and millet sprays. She knows her name and I’m just praying for her safe return. She is so precious to me. My dedicated office companion. Even guards me when I take a nap. If you see her, please let me know where and I will come to you. A guy already tried to scam me this morning so I am on alert if anyone tries it again. Thank you all kind people for helping me try and find Betty.

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

To some she is just a bird doing bird things, but to me, she is my best buddy and companion.
