Have you lost your pet parrot before then found it? What happened?

Yesterday (6/6/2023) my green cheek conure escaped from my backyard because he had gotten scared of a swinging figurine in my yard. His wings were clipped earlier that day but weren't clipped enough, and a generous gust of wind really helped him. We searched for hours and I was extremely distraught. I had to take a break since he is my bird and I was the most hurt, my parents kindly kept looking while I took a break to drink water at home and grieve. I googled about parrots escaping and the first result was to bring their cage outside, so I did so, and by all the toys rattling and things he remembered, he started to call to me! We did call and recall together, me yelling his name and he'd respond with a screech until I eventually found my baby in the tree. I was so relieved and our very kind neighbor gave us a ladder. We used a T-Stand to try and reach him but he got scared, flying off again into another neighboring yard, landing on the bottom part of the wired fence and holding on. I went and picked him up then carried him back home safely with a tight grip on him to my chest. I felt so lucky and relieved, he is all okay but only has a small scratch on his head. He is happy and himself. Never give up... I really wanted to because I was very discouraged, but your bird loves you and does want to come home.

I just want to say thank you. Today our Lineolated Parakeet got scared and flew off when my husband opened the door for a package. We were both distraught because he is so small and its supposed to get very cold tonight. This video was extremely helpful. It gave us hope that we would find him and thankfully a few hours later we did, just a few streets away. Everything you said was true. He wasn't far, and when I called for him he called back, looking for his flock. So I just want to say thank you again. You helped us bring him home.

I’ve seen so many people say recall training is the biggest lifesaver. If your bird is recall trained or stick trained, and they get out, you do the triggers for recall and it switches them from panic to calm and they can come home.

Good advice! I would add posting on some of the lost parrot sites too and it helps to know your bird's band number. For some reason my Quaker was scared and hiding on the ground in bushes and window wells and wouldn't call back so we lost him for TWO WEEKS. Like he said DON'T LOSE HOPE! It was early spring here, temps in the 40s, thunderstorms and icy rain. Was so awful. We got our baby back though, you will too!! 💕 Eventually he DID call out for us when we finally found him. Poor thing was literally hoarse from calling for us - the whole family cried we were so relieved to have him back!

Mine flies away for fun, watch's me from afar then comes back when he is hungery. Done it three times! He knows exactly where the house is!

Many years ago our Senegal used to sit on my wife’s shoulder when she would go outside to get the mail. One day the “Lucky” flew off her shoulder and up into a tree. She put a ladder on the tree to try and climb up to Lucky. The bird flew off into the sky. We looked for days but never found it. The only lucky thing about Lucky, is that we live in Hawaii and Lucky probably lived “La Vida Loca”… for a while.

Great information :: also to add its Always good to teach recall and decent from high places:) even if you never plan to take your bird outside..

My Indian Ringneck was gone for three days. He was 9 miles away and flew down to some children having recess and was peekabooing them. The principal took him inside and made a Facebook post. Someone on Nextdoor sent me the Facebook post. He was also spotted at a persons bird feeder and that was shared on Nextdoor. It is the best tool for lost pets.

I love your channel! I'm a lover of all things scales and feathers. There are a lot of good fish and reptile channels but the bird review content has been seriously lacking until you showed up. I hope your channel gets really big, you deserve it 👏. Keep up the stellar work!

Losing a bird is a nightmare😭

I have a sun conure that I raised since I was a baby. I'm also practicing free flight, but I'm still worried and this video is very helpful. Thanks

Glad to see you are finally uploading after a long time.

Could you do a video about all poicephalus parrots? Brown heads, Senegals, red bellied etc and compare them? I feel like that would definitely make a good video!

I taught my goffin to fly when he was very young and would let him fly around my yard. The key to ease of getting them back, if they are free flying is to teach them how to make a descent. It's like a pilot learning how to fly a plane. Not all the movements come completely naturally. It's a skill that is learned. Teach them inside your house by placing them on a higher surface, while you lie on the floor nearby. Do it over and over again and they slowly learn how to descend properly. Very important to get a very strong feel for safety from raptors. After a few years of flying my bird, we had falcons show up on the property, so I decided not to free fly him outside after this. I did have a huge flight cage for him outside though and I would put him out there for hours a day. That helped a great deal!

Wow, I have friend that lost his parrot in business park also. I'm glad my friends bird returned just, like you described ;)

ay u think you can review a golden conure. there are not alot of videos of them and im thinking about buying one :) epic channel btw when i want a bird you are first peorson i look for

Keep up the good work!♥️

My dad opened my budgies cage before he went work and it was inside but usually my mum puts its cage outside when she wakes up so she was about to put it outside and it probably got startled and saw the opening of its cage and flew straight out luckily my mum knew the direction so we have some sort of an idea where it might be but it’s been lost for three hours now and we left the cage outside we also just got this bushier a few weeks ago so this is heart breaking it was quite young too so it’s likely to not survive very long due to a cat trying to eat it yesterday and it being so small and confused I hope I find it and this video really helped

love you videos brotha

Back in the early 90s I had a boyfriend who got a baby blue-and-gold macaw. We didn't live together because I worked in the field as a fisheries biologist, but I would often be there on weekends. We took his boat to Shasta Lake in California for a weekend when the bird was still very young. He had been testing his wings by flapping but had never actually flown and his wings weren't trimmed. Well, before we even began the boat adventure, we discovered that indeed, he could fly. We were walking down to the boat ramp with him and he caught a little bounce off my friend's shoulder and off he went across a long stretch of water and out of sight into the surrounding forests. We were heartbroken. We drove around the rest of the day looking for him with no luck. It was a hopeless situation--if you know northern California, you know there are vast areas with very few people, so even a large and loud macaw could easily go unseen. We decided to spend a night at a hotel but we were resigned to the fact that we had lost him forever due to a stupid, stupid mistake. This was before the internet, so you couldn't learn from thousands of people like you can now. We had driven three hours to get there, so it wasn't possible to keep searching. People didn't have cell phones. Hopeless. Yet, the next day we drove to the docks and someone had found him in a tree and somehow we got him back. Poor Birb was fine, but not very happy on the ride back. My boyfriend did not have him very long before he decided to re-home him while he was still young. He found a very experienced guy in San Diego who gave him a good home. -- Probably even more unlikely was a pet rat that escaped from my house last summer. I live in a rural area and there are lots of critters right outside the door--wild rats (roof rats, not the same species as the Norway rat kept as pets), squirrels, raccoons, opossums, coyotes, weasels, and occasionally cats. Normally you will find a pet rat within 24 hours without even trying, but he was nowhere to be found and after four days I had to accept he was gone for good. Eight days later I was at my computer late at night and heard a noise on my porch. Open the door and there was Timmy, at my feet, a bit dirty and skinny but otherwise happy and healthy. He lived to a very old age and a week ago I had to take him to the vet to be helped over the Rainbow Bridge. He had required a lot of hospice care in his last month, so it was tough to say goodbye and the house is not the same without him. I cried writing this. He was a special little guy! You can see some of my critter friends on my KZfaq channel--I rescued a baby long-tailed weasel in the house many years ago and there are some cute videos of him before he left to be a real wild weasel instead of a house weasel.

There are itty bitty gps vests I’ve seen around New York there’s a small flock of green Quaker parrots around my shop lol but they’re doing really well out there lol

I’m in Canada so I never bring my parrot outside except in the summer and only for short periods to my moms in a small cage to get some sun. I would be devastated if I lost her because it gets too cold even on summer nights, winter nights she wouldn’t last 10 minutes.

On Monday my ringneck flew away yesterday we found him and tried catching him but we could not but he is only flirting on my road

Yeah and once you find it...how the hell do you get it out the tree? My Indian ringneck wouldn't come down for 3 hours, took off and got ripped to pieces by crows or magpies or whatever they were

I'm havin' a cockatiel parrot... it's been one month of having it.. suddenly one day on (4-4-24) ,my room's door was open and he just flew away from there..I've tried as much as I can but I didn't found him...Plzz bro tell me what to do now 😭😭

lost my green wing macaw yesterday and she didn’t yell at all. she usually yells very loud, but when she flew away she never yelled

Recently lost my Amazon parrot to heart disease, I know not the same kind of loss but thought this was a good opportunity to reach out and ask a few questions. I’ve considered and I think I want to adopt another parrot - I am between a yellow collared macaw(smaller macaw) and a Timneh African grey. Also considered a pionus. Any advice! I’m 23 years old, currently work from home and have the luxury to spend a lot of time with my animals. Thanks!

Please pray my bird to come back

Have you done a parrot review on budgies?

Hey, I like your video but tears how help I lost my parrot about five days ago and I haven’t found them yet. I didn’t think to listen for him that night. I just kept looking for him forever and it I don’t know where he’s at. I just looked all overand put up flyers online but where it doesn’t stick out like a parrot would and it’s really hard to tell him part of the other ones. I even need a picture of him to identify him.I don’t know if you’ve made any videos of it or not about 5 days , but do you have any advice for five days after you haven’t found your bird?

Lost my African grey parrot today 😭💔

Please review the Hanns macaw next, I’m thinking of getting one and I’ve researched a lot and I think they are perfect but I need you to confirm it. Are they better than green cheek conures or worse?

pray my bird to come back in the morning

Can you do a video on Senegal parrots?

Can you do a parrot review on buggies and macaws

My bird flew away and he fly away like so high and like idk he just flew happily 😔 and his brother is depressed without him

Hey! I'm getting a sun conure this weekend, do you have any tips for them? They are my first bird, so any tips would help!

This feels oddly timed because I lost my lovebird about three days ago. Hopefully, I can find him soon.

What do you do when you finally find your parrot?

I’m on edge and I don’t even own any pets

I lost my parrot today. I hope i find him :(

I lost my littl budgie girl today, she flew out of the aviary. I searched the whole day, not it’s dark, we posted it everywhere and also put flyers all over. Does anyone have a tip on how to catch a completely skittish budgie? I am missing her desperately

I hope you will find your parrot or a macaw I hope you will find it

My lorrikeet got out sometime yesterday while I was at work when I realised he was missing I went looking I could hear him calling me from the top of a very tall tree but couldn't see him I have young kids so I couldn't keep saying to get him to come down it's now 6pm the next day he's spent the night and day outside and it's going to rain he's still around I can here him but can't see him what else can I do to get him to return home I keep calling him from the front of my house every time I go outside and can here him sometimes I don't know where exactly

Can you make a video of how to know the gender of a conure or most birds?

What's your view on clipping parrot wings? Do you do it? Might be a good video idea :-)

Can I clip my parrot and keep her with me in my room itself. Iam afraid of if she accidentally caught by fan.

Today i lost mine

First
