This is a copy of a post I posted in reply to another thread but decided I should share it more widely.
We all know our Parrots have a screeching Jungle Call. A call that allows them to call their flock across a wide expanse of Jungle. A call that'll chase you out of house and home.
Anyway here's a thought!!!
One thing I've been thinking about with regard to escaped birds. My Amazon , Pedro, got away once. As I searched for him I kept repeating our "Jungle Call" greeting, a greeting I use as I walk up the driveway when ever I come home, in response to Pedros notable excitement that he heard my car and knows I'm home. Pedros side of that greeting is a screeching "Tweet Weet Meow" my side is a shrill whistling "Tweet Weet". As I walked around looking for him I repeated that call. And sure enough he finally responded. I kept calling and he kept responding I followed the call and found him about 300 meters from home 25 meters up a tree.
So if you don't have a familiar jungle call maybe you should.
Getting Pedro out of that tree is another story for another time.
