Missing parrot

[fergie]

My daughters african grey parrot escaped today (Thursday) at lunchtime. She was seen flying towards Lyth village area. Please if you see her can you call me on 01955 641343 or 07789682332

If you cam find your African grey and get close enough to it you may be able to catch it in a net or put out its cage in the garden and leave the door open to hopefully entice the bird back in when it is hungry. If this fails and the bird is not too far out of reach try turning a hose (assuming the bird is in an area where a hose is available) on it to simulate a heavy shower thus soaking its feathers -- doing this will stop the bird from flying and you should be able to pick it up. If this works put the bird in a warm place to dry -- it should be none the worse of being drenched and actually likely enjoy the experience.
Hope you manage to get the bird back.

Any luck yet in locating your Grey? You must be at your wits end, I know I would be if I lost mine. Fingers crossed you have a happy ending.

No news of her yet:~(. We are going out again to look thisevening. We walked miles looking yesterday. If only this wind would die down a little it would make it a lot easier to hear if she answers when we whistle.

I am so very sorry that you have lost your parrot and know how very worried you must be.
Thankfully the weather is nicer now so,hopefully, you will be able to see her and, more importantly, she will hear.

Really hope you get her back soon.

Keeping my finger crossed she returns home to you.

Hi everyone - thanks for checking the thread - this is day 3 and she should be starting to get hungry and apparently look for human company. If anybody sees her - she loves cherries and grapes - a handfull will keep her busy until I can get her. Thanks again

i hope you get her home safe and well soon

[Rictina]

Oh thats lovely news, good to hear.

[fergie]

Great news, she has been found. She had gone all the way to Canisbay:eek:
She is very tired and thin, but is tucking into her dinner now. Thanks to the family in Canisbay for looking after her till we got there, and thanks to the SSPCA for contacting me so quickly. Its the best phonecall i have had this week:)

Brilliant news :D

I'm glad your parrot's safe and sound
And that in Canisbay was found
Now he is back with you around
No more you have to seek

He's lucky to survive a while
If he had flew a further mile
Result would not have been a smile
You would have felt quite weak

Cos chicken's rare in John O'Groats
Where folk feed parrots to their goats
And go round in feathered coats
On shopping trips to Week

So parrot's back on shoulder sat
A-nibbling cherries, getting fat
No more you're wond'ring where its at
A smile upon his beak

i like a good ending xxxx

There is a very happy parrot in Caithness tonight I bet. Happy your feathered friend is home safe and sound with a little help from friends.:)

I am glad that your African grey has been found safe and well -- I hope you gave it a good ticking off for disappearing out of his/her own garden because if it escapes again there may not be a happy reunion -- Did he/she understand what you were saying? Did it reply that he/she understood, that a lesson was learned and he/she would not try and escape again. IF ONLY IT WAS THIS EASY.

[Anji]

I'm so glad you got your parrot back safe and well.
I bet she's tired out after flying all that way.

Well done to the people in Canisbay who took her in and looked after her for you.

[Liz]

Oh that is brilliant news!!!! Well done to all concerned for the happy reunion.:D

[Shabbychic]

How is she doing today? Has the lucky wee rascal recovered yet?:)

[fergie]

She is looking much better today, amazing what a meal and a good nights sleep can do. The wolf whistling has started thisafternoon so i would say she is feeling a lot better too:)

[Tubthumper]

Your wolf is missing as well?:eek:

[fergie]

Tubthumper - your poem was great too:)
