He flew away last year but when I called his name he would answer- we got him back after 24 hours of following him around the woods--today- no return call to me- I searched for over 3 hours and cannot find him---any suggestions or help please?
Answers:
Put up ads, posters, and place calls to humane societies and rescues to keep an eye out for him, tell people what he responds to, if he's friendly or approachable, and most importantly to getting him back: OFFER A REWARD. However, do NOT specify the amount of the reward. A reward is incentive to return the bird, but by setting a solid number on how much you'll give, some may choose to keep him anyway.
In the meantime, leave his cage outside with lots of food, call his name, make the sound of his normal food. If and when you find him, in the future, please do not rely on recall alone. Some birds have very reliable recall, others may not, and they all have their own free will to choose not to answer to it. The unpredictability of animals isn't worth the risk, and clipped or unclipped, any bird can pick up a breeze and fly miles away. Invest in a travel cage for going outside or a harness/foot harness/flight suit to ensure he doesn't escape again!
My thoughts are with you!
i'm on a plane now on my way to look for him
You say he has clipped wings...did you check the floor?
It was eather stolen or ran away
Depending on where you live a snake, or a bird of prey such as a hawk or owl could have gotten him. Sorry you lost him Please let me know if he returns.
all you can do is place his cage outside with ALOT food on the floor ..HJope that he will see this and come to eat ..We lkost a quaker and he came back 6 hours latter for FOOD .. place an ad in the paper someone will find him if he don't become dinner ..He is med size parrot so he has that on his side keep going out and calling and place alot fav foods for him GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
put some of his favorite food outside so he can eat. If his wings were clipped correctly he couldnt have flown off but another animal could get him. Are you sure you checked your house good and made sure is not in the house somewhere.
Yes, don't let him out in ways that he can get away!
