Good news! Birdell home safe and sound

Hawk · Apr 15, 2015

Happy happy Joy joy......Birdell found and now home safe !

I spent since 5:30 am looking ...came in at nine to have a break....went back out around 10:15 am and kept an eye open for Blue jays...they tend to alert to a strange bird in area...

I scouted an area that wasn't far from the house, which seemed logical and good cover if he was to protect herself over nite...low and behold I seen a blue jay making rucus and looked up there was Birdell only 10-12 feet up from gound in pines. marked location, got my wife and travel cage and climb up to get her, scratched up from pine tree but I could care less....she's now home safe and I'm happy about that.

I was following your thread about her daring escape, but wasn't able to participate at the time.

I'm so glad to hear that she's home safe and sound!

So happy for you and Birdell. Give her extra loving, I am sure it was a long cold lonely night for her in the great big world.

YAY! How wonderful that she's home

You and your wife must be so relieved. This is a good reminder to get on the ball about clipping Kiwi for the summer.

I always feel a terrible amount of guilt and procrastinate about doing it, BUT Kiwi loves being outdoors and a harness isn't going to happen. Not to mention, he has never flown, has no concept of flight, so he knows no different:31: I would feel more guilty if for whatever reason he got loose and I couldn't recover him. I clip him enough that he can't get lift (and yes, I know there's always a risk, but I also know my bird and find that risk to be negligible with him).

Exactly.

I've decided to leave Maggie and Sally flighted. The rest I keep clipped...

But I could never take "outside" or "tree time" away from them.

There are risks involved, but leaving them inside to rot is also a risk - that they won't have the quality of life they deserve.

miloslave · Apr 15, 2015
